Sergeant Wilson Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, Szamo's_Ammo said: As more data comes to light regarding the Covid hotspot that is the schools, I wonder if Westminster and the devolved governments will acknowledge that inviting old and/or vulnerable relatives round at Christmas if you have school-age kids in the house would be a particularly bad idea. Putting children in a position to unwittingly infect granny and grandad is a shocking way to treat young people in this country. Still, so long as it appeases crazed lobby groups like UsForThem and those who want the weans out the house 5 days a week regardless of the effect on public health and the economy that is the main thing. Votes and opinion polls still matter even during a global pandemic. Reminiscing. "Remember the lovely Christmas 10 years ago, you got a Barbie House? No. Yes you do, your granny died in the middle of January. Oh aye, I loved that house."

Detournement Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I thought the report on the schools last week which showed that there is no evidence they are driving infections might have placated the hysterics on here but the fervour obviously runs deep. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to this, showing the 4th visit from the cops, nothing. Quote No details were acquired by Police so they were unable to issue the fixed penatly notice to anyone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukMnkOvmrUY 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szamo's_Ammo Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Gone at the text in this tweet. Parties and pub crawls causing Covid-riddled schools to close. Disgusting! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd_is_God Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 1 minute ago, Gaz said: It didn't really show that though, did it? Theresa May, of all people, nailed it when she said that the Government were publishing selective statistics to support their policies, rather than using all of the available data to determine policy. I've no doubt this is common practice, it's just much more obvious when swathes of people are looking at all the data, rather than just what is being officially published. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote This is all incorrect. Clause 61 of the 1215 Magna Carta set out rules for 25 specific barons. It did not allow the general population to rebel, and it was also removed from subsequent versions of the document. https://fullfact.org/online/did-she-die-in-vain/ Edited November 25, 2020 by welshbairn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't prove a negative but it does show that in the substantial amount of data the SG has there is no evidence that schools are driving infections. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 If you were doing Hogmanay correctly then you'd also be getting food and presents after the bells champ. Swing and a miss.Who the hell bothers with Hogmanay any more. Don't think I've seen a light on in this street beyond 12.30 on Hogmanay in years nor do I know anyone who hosts any sort of gatheringor party. A long dead tradition in these parts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP_MFC Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Anyone who celebrates new year over the age of 21 is an absolute wrong un.In other news, 122 cases in Grampian the day. 2 weeks after some event that saw many people gathering in pubs and not adhering to social distancing. Shut the schools imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you just don't what day it is anymore tbh as that's not the reality whether you like Hogmanay or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Are we seeing a big drop in cases caused by the restrictions in tier 3 and 4 or are there just less testing being done? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As opposed to the celebration of a fictional character who breaks into the house and leaves mysterious presents for little children, aye? Seems legit. To be absolutely clear modern Hogmanay is generally shite. It is however the traditional and more important Scottish festive holiday that your grandparents and great-grandparents celebrated: as opposed to Christmas Day when they would go to work/football/the pub as usual. That's why Scotland has an extra holiday in January to recover as well. Next we'll be importing Thanksgiving into this pantheon of generic shite, over-commercialised nonsense that we're supposed to celebrate on an annual basis.
