Vaccines for front line health staff, social care staff and then care home staff with residents thereafter. On 04/12/2020 at 19:00, Inanimate Carbon Rod said: Yeh my wifes friends who work outwith GGC are being told they’ll be vaccinated before christmas. Its all disjointed to f**k, should be done nationally instead its just all getting chopped and changed at health board level, zero consistency. For me, get the auld dears the gucci shit so the death rates fall. On 04/12/2020 at 18:28, Inanimate Carbon Rod said: Glasgow and Clyde seemingly briefing that they dont expect to widely roll out the pfizer vaccine in the community because of the storage situation and logistics, pinning hopes on the Oxford one apparently. They’ve had months to plan and it seems the plan is that they have no plan. GFabM_xMyIa5Upp2.mp4 -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manifesto Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 On 08/12/2020 at 23:08, Szamo's_Ammo said: I'm not sure I would agree with the conclusion reached in the tweet going by the data in the report but this is more vindication that the Business as Usual reopening of education in the UK was completely the wrong way to go. Most (if not all) regions in Germany reopened schools with social distancing, mandating mask wearing and reduced class sizes. When cases were out of control, schools were closed and/or moved to blended or remote learning. The free-for-all, head in the sand reaction in this country has seen the school system in places like Hull on the verge of collapse due to the huge number of cases and staff/pupils needing to self isolate. Then there is the increased community transmission affecting the whole of society resulting in tougher restrictions needing to be placed on businesses earlier here than in Germany. It seems they actually do care about the wellbeing of pupils, staff and the wider community rather than pandering to those wanting the barins out the house at all costs regardless of the consequences for everyone else. It has not been perfect but the Germans yet again showing the UK how it is done is not exactly surprising. Not sure the Germans got it quite as right as you make out... Hard lockdown ahoy as cases go https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-55292614 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super_carson Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I see Edinburgh's numbers starting to go up this week...are we now seeing the delayed effects of travel from tier 4 areas?

People that can be arsed more than me for straying into the centre of town have been saying they've never heard so many west coast accents there recently. Felt a cold chill down my spine every time I heard their stories, sounded like some kind of Lynchian/dystopian shopping experience. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt a cold chill down my spine every time I heard their stories, sounded like some kind of Lynchian/dystopian shopping experience. I work with a few weegies who are allowed to travel into this area cos key worker. They told me weeks ago all of their friends/family were travelling to Falkirk for shopping, with the Falkirk Smyths being an obvious popular choice, and that their local facebooks etc were pretty much rife with that sort of chat. Absolutely f**k all you can do about it tbf. Long past the point of even pretending theres any enforcement. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 To be fair its not great seeing folks travelling, but the redeeming feature would be walking through Edinburgh (Scotland’s 4th city) hearing that god awful ‘ken’ accent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Bit of a laugh yesterday. Went to the scone palace Christmas fare. Whilst driving in I was asked to lower my window, and was then asked if I lived in Perth and Kinross.Couldn’t help but chuckle at the idea of someone saying no and being refused admittance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have plenty of family and friends who have stuck quite rigidly to every bit of guidance re: Covid but who are all openly flouting this travel ban nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
