I know many folk who last year were saying how NS cares so much about us all and is keeping us safe.. and now they’re very much of the opinion that once numbers drop through the affect of vaccines we should be back to normal ASAP. I'm not so sure. If anything I feel the winter will have strengthed the support for a cautious approach, especially from those who would be quite happy to not make use of any loosening of restrictions anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 The big issue with easing restrictions in the short term is that the government's rush to send schools back at the first plausible opportunity would mean literally weeks if not months of pointless restrictions for everything else, because it would just send the R rate right back up again towards 1 - if not higher if they jump the gun. Whereas an extra few weeks of studying from home would allow for things to be opened up at a more sustainable level and wrap things up much more quickly. I have absolutely zero confidence in any UK government taking the correct course of action given their handling of the issue so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d go one step further and think Boris will open up things before enough immunity has been achieved to ensure zero further risk to the NHS. Should be a simple thing to prevent but we’ll see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 When this all kicked off I got a letter telling me to shield. I got another letter today specifically saying it wasn't a shielding letter and was actually aimed at folk in the "vulnerable" category working from home as far as possible. If unable to work from home show this letter to your employer (to enable him to furlough you, presumably or apply for whatever benefits are applicable) .I must admit I just skimmed over it as I am retired so working from home doesn't apply to me and I'm going to carry on shielding anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 How long can deaths and hospitalizations realistically keep rising ? It's over 2 weeks from NY and over 3 weeks since Christmas. Schools have been closed for 4 weeks almost and the country has been in this higher restrictions state for 3 weeks. New cases have levelled off too so surely the numbers cannot keep rising beyond the next 7 days tops. If they do it requires serious resource thrown at establishing accurately what is still driving it.The media seem to be driving a line that there are a lot more younger (not necessarily young) people seriously I'll plus more without underlying health issues. Whether this is true or it's manipulation to encourage compliance also needs looked at.Schools and Christmas were the big "dangers" but they can't carry the can for much longer ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purely anecdotal, but hairmyres is currently seeing a wider spread of covid patients across the age groups. 55-65 especially seems to have a noticeably larger cohort than the first wave. Not as markedly, but noticeable is the 30-40 age group. Whether that's because all the extremely old are already dead, or vaccinations starting to kick in or whatever reason I don't know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People dying now probably caught it some time in early December, possibly longer. Although infection rates are going down the next couple of weeks will continue to be grim in regards to deaths 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 According to Travelling Tabby, deaths are already dropping. Possibly in the last few days but the constant NHS about to be overwhelmed narrative continues unabated. Difficult to maintain that if deaths and admissions continue to fall.Also should see significantly less new cases very shortly or something else is driving infections that needs identifying quickly. They are levelling but not really falling that much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will that change anything, probably not, c***s will continue to vote Tory and torries will continue to favour themselves and their pals over the rest.
