They fucked it. They said there was no second wave before it began. They didn't say there wouldn't be one. Again it all comes down to deaths.

Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vacciiiiiinnne. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/nov/17/rishi-sunak-refuses-to-say-if-he-will-profit-from-moderna-covid-vaccine "The chancellor, Rishi Sunak, has refused to disclose whether he will profit from a surge in the share price of the Covid-19 vaccine manufacturer Moderna, one of the biggest investments held by the hedge fund he co-founded before entering parliament." Absolute f*cking stick-on that Sunak has this company in his blind trust. Edited November 17, 2020 by Florentine_Pogen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 No, I argued it was better than the English version because we didn't outsource it. Though it doesn't matter how effective the app, or how many contacts you trace, you won't catch asymptomatic cases that way.OK, think I've mixed you up with someone else then. Apologies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess it's the difference between socialising in Sweden in the summer and the winter. I don't think they claimed there wouldn't be a second wave, the fact that the first wave ended simultaneously with the rest of Europe (also in Belarus) is evidence that restrictions aren't primarily driving the trends. Every country is back in the shit. It's seasonal now like flu. The whole thing about this different Swedish approach is being taken massively out of context Sweden have a constitutional issue where it is very difficult for the govt to claim sweeping powers like you see in other western countries. This meant that there wasn't a mandated closure of the economy but the general effect was that non essential stuff closed, people started commuting to work and enacted social distancing following public campaigns. Google showed that transit data and traveling post lockdown slowed in a virtually identical way to their neighbours. Call it restrictions, call it advice, it doesn't really matter. By large, they were living under similarish conditions to the rest of Europe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyle Lanley Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Considering a lot of buses start from Midlothian and East Lothian which go into the city of Edinburgh. I wonder how Police Scotland will handle people travelling on buses from let's say, Tranent to Murrayfield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
