Bairnardo Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 For me its time to revisit shielding in a serious way. If the new variant really can spread so much easier, its going to bypass every measure we put in place except a Wuhan welded into the house job. Aye shielding is shit. Not as shite as trashing any semblance of an existence for literally everyone in the country though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reserve the right to have a cranial supernova event though if we stay in tier 4 come late January even though cases are dropping. ...the only way out has always been herd immunity and overly drastic lockdowns merely served to prolong the pain on that in the absence of effective pharmaceutical intervention. As long as the vaccines that have been or soon will be approved for use are still effective against this (conveniently just in time for reversing Christmas relaxations and keeping the plebs indoors for a no deal Brexit) variant that's not that far off. Keep the heid and resist falling into mass hysteria. Edited December 20, 2020 by LongTimeLurker 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aufc Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Just merely pointing out that given the savaging that nasty Boris and the nasty Tories get on here, it seems a bit odd than Nicola escapes criticism for following him about like a little puppy.I dont think nicola has followed him all the time? Not saying they havent been rather shit but they have been slightly better than boris etc although that is not saying much 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnston has essentially cancelled Christmas for large parts of the South East. Not much has changed here aside from the travel ban from outside Scotland (which will def impact on some, but nowhere near all) She'd ready shortened the Xmas window from 5 days to 1,something Johnston hadn't done. It's just a bitter soundbite that bears little scrutiny. Whether she's done better or worse, fact is, we've done things differently than WM (as have Wales).

You want in? Don’t rock the boat. Plus the general dumbing down of society for quite a while now means a lot of these journalists are not very bright. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't fucking living. 13 hours ago, mizfit said: Tonight broke me. I’ve not been so low in a long time. Been crying for the last half an hour, don’t really know what else to do. Works been a distraction but it can only be for so long. Away to watch the penalties from the Serbia game. That’ll put a smile back on my face. I fucking feel for you guys, I really do. Against the tide of people who have understandably been saying 'what must be done, must be done', many others on here who were fully supportive of the first lockdown in spring, have been massively and justifiably concerned about the negative, serious and long-lasting effects of continually pulling the rug from under people's feet and removing their ability to live, function and move. A concern that people will become fatigued, disheartened, depressed is now very much a reality. They CANNOT continue to impose these restrictions indefinitely. The cost to human life will be far greater and long term than Covid and won't be fixed by an injection. The long term issues on people's psyche caused by this are already out there and will be felt for many, many years to come. All I can say just now to both of you guys is to please try and endure and know that whatever you're feeling, it's shared by millions of others. My messages are open if either of you, or anyone else who is feeling it just wants someone to talk to or vent to. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Leitch was on the radio again today saying the government were just trying to be fair to everyone but realised they were ending up pleasing nobody. It’ll be interesting to see how that works out come the election. I'll tell you know, it will be an SNP landslide like it or not ! As I say, I’ll watch with interest. If they manage to get a majority again I’ll be amazed. Personally, as a regular SNP voter I’m not voting for them. At the moment I’m not inspired to vote for any of the parties. Sturgeon is way to cautious to inspire me to vote for her. There’ll be no independence or even freedom with her in charge. She’d make a good council leader somewhere.
