They were never under any restriction before although the big chains all closed for a while voluntarily. Almost all chippies, kebab shops etc have been open throughout. Still places allowing collections, would imagine it’ll just mean stopping those and only allowing deliveries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprisingly with the Pfizer Vaccine but Hey Ho. Just to show you how "flexible" the booking system currently is. It rebooked her 2nd Jab automatically for the 30th March. She then pointed out she is out of the Country from 29th March to 5th April (Another Story) No problem you might think as this is all 11-12 weeks down the line. Fife NHS Computer says cant get you an earlier 2nd Jab appointment. Fife NHS Computer says can't jab you after 2nd April because it is outside the 12 week limit. Fife NHS Computer can get to fuckk Sticking to a strict regimen that gets as many jabs into as many arms as quickly as possible is far more important than being able to make the system flexible enough to accommodate what's going on in individual folks lives. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall feeling frightened/panicked in March/April though,but there was certainly a strangeness to it then that I don't feel now. I wish I did. I don't like the notion of a sense of acceptance. My mood has swung wildly at times during all this. Much of the time I just plod on but then, every so often, the enormity of what we are living through and what and who we are missing, strikes me and that leaves me, even just a minute or two, feeling utterly bereft. Do others ever feel the same? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Absolutely. It's all become so normal now that I don't really think about it most days but every now and again what's actually happening just hits for a minute.I went out for the first time this year today. Been working since the 2nd so decided to treat myself to a subway for lunch. As I was getting back in the car it hit me just how fucking mental the last 10 months had been. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renton Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Definitely seems like this week has seen new cases per day plateau which is good news, positivity rate seems to have fallen a bit this week as well, from a high of 15.2% on Sunday to 8% today. R has been estimated as between 0.9 to 1.3.... Hopefully we see further progress and the beginnings of a reduction in case load through the next week, and a ramping up of vaccination numbers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its difficult to argue why it should continue at the moment, imo 112 people in the 66 English football league clubs tested ahead of the FA Cup weekend have tested positive, plus 40 from the Premier League earlier in the week. Steve Bruce of Newcastle has probably been the most vocal on questioning if games go ahead (he has had two first team players missing for over a month due to effects of Covid), and he says it's "morally wrong" to keep playing. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55590296 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe points to the treatments developed over the last few months being quite effective and leading to better outcomes. Except that deaths are high. Cant quite fathom that out. Treatability is probably the least talked about way out of this mess which is quite odd really when you think about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if you look up the Scot Gov modelling papers, the forecasts for hospitalisations are pretty much up the centre line, but ICU admissions are consistently well under the central forecast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
