Are we always comparing Scotland's rates to the rest of the world? From the Scottish government we only compare our death rates with England, that's because they are horrendous and makes us look good in comparison when in reality we have performed terribly. Now because our vaccinations rate is worse than England we want to look at it in global terms and not a direct comparison to England. Can't have it both ways. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Leitch on Radio Scotland this morning saying he could “let the secret out” that they are looking at schools going back in some form soon. Didn’t give dates but from the tone sounded fairly imminent. Also did a great job of avoiding the Sunday vaccination number question with irrelevant stats about our prevalence vs England. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folk like Leitch now squirming like politicians? Just ones who were never elected instead. What a shock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 1 hour ago, Billy Jean King said: 2 hours ago, Detournement said: The offered patter is surely to account for the people who have been reached by the vaccine program but refused the offer of vaccination? Which is fine but you most certainly don't count or include those in the daily total. In that scenario it should be (for example) we have now offered the vaccine to 9m people while the actual figure of jags administered is 7.7m. That would be transparent on two counts ie actual folk vaccinated and number not taking the offer. The latter could hopefully then be broken down further to specific reasons for refusal. They aren't included in the daily total - the total denotes vaccines administered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be Swinney delivering this, not Jason Leitch. He is, after all, "only an advisor". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiGi Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) It's more of an American thing but Quote Simp is an Internet slang term, used pejoratively for someone who is seen as using excessive sympathy and attention toward another person in order to win their affection, sometimes in pursuit of a sexual relationship Throwing it about in threads is generally the behaviour of the Trumpian right wing. Strange stuff. Edited February 2, 2021 by GiGi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) I'm currently watching a Prison Planet man video about what a Simp is, it seems like he's maybe the best person to explain it. I'm not sure how long I can last, his voice is so annoying. Two minutes, I get it now. My Youtube recommendations are going to be hellish Edited February 2, 2021 by ICTChris 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 They probably think if they publicise refusals then the numbers will increase. The same reason you never see much in the media about suicides. Again a valid point but you don't include them in the total jagged. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 The Edinburgh Evening News has compiled a comments section of opinions on the mass vaccination centre at EICC - it’s mostly just people whining about the location (central, right next to tram stops, bus stops and a train station with several car parks within a five minute walk). https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion/letters/it-was-nice-speak-people-again-your-views-edinburghs-mass-vaccination-centre-3120013What chance have you got? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
