Would also guess a small part of it is people driving to places that they might have walked to in better weather. But mostly I think it is lockdown fatigue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrmad Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 3 hours ago, Tynierose said: In my hours stroll to work today, my fault for living near top of a hill with a car that is pants in snow. Anyway I digress. I walked a lot to work during spring lockdown and the roads were empty. This time though they are packed. Where are all these people going? I presume a good few of them whose work closed last time but are now playing loose with what constitutes a key worker to keep going. Incidentally the amount of white van man cash in hand types doing the rounds is incredible. Don't pay taxes, boast about their income,now can't get furloughed due to lack of records. Never mind, we will work on regardless spreading disease as we go. Twats. Surely they'd be getting SSEIS rather than furlough, whilst some will be getting zip due to lack of records a huge chunk will be getting zip as they've not filed 3 full years, imagine the uproar if furlough only applied to those in continuous employment for the previous 3 years, a lot of youngsters would be left with f**k all. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 ONS figs for England last week are wild. Estimated that in that week over 1.2m that's 1 in 50 actually were infected. Herd immunity might yet outrun the vaccine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP_MFC Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I’ve got to be honest, I’ve noticed the roads being very much quieter when I’ve been out. Not quite as quiet in my experience than late march early April but certainly quieter than from May til Christmas around Motherwell and the M74 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it not be better to avoid 'wasting' a vaccine dose on someone who is known to already have had Covid, meaning we could protect the vulnerable groups in less time?

8MileBU Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 3 hours ago, Mark Connolly said: Anyone else seen the videos on twitter of the cops arresting 3 folk in a house in Aberdeen for COVID breaches? Most of the reports seem to say that a neighbour philpyed them for having too many folk in the house, while they claim they were celebrating the return from hospital of one of their kids. Either way, it has elicited the predictable responses of "Sturgeon has turned Scotland into a police state" and "Police Scotland, more like the Gestapo, amirite?". Correct. 3 hours ago, 101 said: Don't the people complaining understand that it's Iain Livingston who runs the police and the FM can't direct what approach he takes. ETA just watched the video shoving a polis man out your house doesn't seem like the best idea and both the maw and the polis should have taken a deep breath and calmed down. It's hard to tell what does on in the rammy, I assume they are trying to arrest one of them and the daughter gets caught up in it which is sad. Indeed. The maw seems very confrontational for some reason. Perhaps angry because she’s being pulled up for breaking the covid rules? The dad seems very sheepish and almost resigned to having been rumbled too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the ONS stat isn't confirmed cases it's an estimate of the total number of infections within the community. Using confirmed cases the element of herd immunity out running vaccination seems a bit fanciful. Let's just getting jabbing everyone as planned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Willie Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 1 hour ago, Granny Danger said: I’ve decided to close our businesses until the 1st of February. We’re restricted in what we can do so it makes more sense. This ‘lockdown’ is nothing like the March one, it might reduce transmission but I cannot see it being as effective given the number of businesses still operating. That's my birthday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also reporting of shite like this really isn't helpful. This is a bit unfair as a policy, there are plenty of valid reasons why someone might not want a vaccine now but might later - particularly relating to pregnancy and breastfeeding, where there is conflicting advice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't take a computer long to remove CHI numbers for those who have tested positive from the database of CHI numbers who are considered vulnerable. I'm assuming your CHI number is linked to (positive) Covid test results here tbf, as I've not had one I don't know if that is the case.
