DeeTillEhDeh Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Crazy that Ballantrae is tier 4 and Irvine is tier 3. Ballantrae about a 15 min drive from tier 2 as well You have to have borders somewhere - if it was Scotland-wide we'd still have the issue of having different restrictions to Cumbria and Northumberland 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 39 minutes ago, harry94 said: Well kind of. Cases of kids actually getting ill enough to require a visit to the hospital is pretty rare and then much rarer to have a serious complication or die, these cases will likely be kids requiring full time care regardless. We're talking a couple of magnitudes less likely than the adult population. In terms of how transmissible it is from this population to adults, it's been very rare. Almost unheard of for student-staff and as far as I'm aware, there's not been any staff cases that have come from children in Scotland. The underlying growth isn't due to the schools being open and the cost of closing them would incur embedded costs on all fronts, partially with the health service in taking staff out the front line. The headline figures don't tell us a huge deal on where the infection is actually growing and causing risk. I wonder if children could cure cancer. They seem to have a miraculous ability to nullify viruses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Most people are almost certainly sticking to the rules most of the time. I'd bet heavily that a majority have broken a few rules here or there now and again and a stubborn minority are breaking them constantly. Folk think they're 'doing their bit' by following the rules 90% of the time. It's the other 10% that's keeping this thing hanging around. This in spades.I've heard a few saying and writing "it's not the law" as justification for not following the rules.Maybe making it the law will make some of that minority think again.I still think we should be also binning this face mask exemption nonsense. PS I notice that no-one picked up on the shift in position regards schools - Swinney making a statement tomorrow - will be interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are Indian children different from other children? What about South Korean children or American children? Is one of the top universities in the world an okay source? https://www.health.harvard.edu/diseases-and-conditions/coronavirus-outbreak-and-kids I'll even pick out some key findings for you: Quote A complication that has more recently been observed in children can be severe and dangerous. Called multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), it can lead to life-threatening problems with the heart and other organs in the body. Early reports compare it to Kawasaki disease, an inflammatory illness that can lead to heart problems. Quote Most children who become infected with the COVID-19 virus have no symptoms, or they have milder symptoms such as low-grade fever, fatigue, and cough. Early studies suggested that children do not contribute much to the spread of coronavirus. But more recent studies raise concerns that children could be capable of spreading the infection. Though the recent studies varied in their methods, their findings were similar: infected children had as much, or more, coronavirus in their upper respiratory tracts as infected adults. Your hastily googled link with data regarding infections in children when the schools were closed and not taking into account asymptomatic cases is meaningless, not that you will have read beyond the headline. Now you can do your own research next time! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only in senior classes. Our S1-3 go around without any. As do the staff when teaching those year groups. EIS now saying Level 4 must move to blended learning. I don't hold out much hope that they carry enough political or media weight for this to have any impact. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Its the schools element which is primarily populist....also the fact that they are citing the need for further restrictions now to 'save' Christmas.That a significant part of the electorate also happen to be parents? If course it's political - it's why Labour, Tory and the busted flushes attacked the blended system - because of parental pressure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
