Billy Jean King Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Should spice this thead up a bit againYou know the script already. Folk in here screaming for details of relaxation of measures in Feb. SG announces 1st relaxation on 2 Feb ie phased school return and same people will scream that it's not their preferred relaxation despite it being crystal clear from the get go that schools returning would be the first easing. They can't win in the eyes of a good few in here now. It's got stupidly entrenched. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 The only time i've seen it used was to say that everyone in care homes in England had been offered one.Hancock used it to describe the running grand total last night. We will see how it's phrased today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Nederlander Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Interesting comments regarding it not being a race when it was fairly clear early on that that's precisely what the Scottish Tories were trying to turn it into. There's obviously lots of hard work going on out there, everyone I know above 70 will have had the jag by the end of the week, including my parents - so thank f'ck for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I mean, it basically should be treated as a race though, we want to get as many jags in as many arms as quickly as possible. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the SG came out and said that they knew schools being open had a negative impact on the R rate, but it was a risk they feel is acceptable then it wouldn't be an issue. They never will, though.

Was stuck in A&E for most of Saturday, lots of signs in the hospital saying visitors were only permitted in cases of end of life care so have to assume he is about to shuffle off this mortal coil. Yet another one I didn't pick in the Deadpool. Edited February 2, 2021 by Perkin Flump 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, they have said that. Nicola Sturgeon stood up at one of the briefings and specifically said it was a balance of risks. Swinney has also said the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a race. The more we vaccinate and the faster we vaccinate the fewer people die. People who say it isn't a race or the nasty Tories are making it a race or the Tories are making it all up are just trying to deal with the fact that at this point it looks like their team aren't winning the race. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Bully Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Fair enough i missed that thenFair enough. It’s just been a trope on here since August, and quite a few people saying “ I just wish they’d be honest” when they have been saying since at least October (if not before) that it was a balance of risks and harms. If the SG really thought schools were completely safe, they wouldn’t be closed right now. The fact they are indicates an acceptance of that. The real question is over the effectiveness of distance learning and the impact on the most disadvantaged in society. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise the people saying we shouldn’t be comparing ourselves with the rest of the U.K. Why on earth shouldn’t we be comparing ourselves to neighbouring countries that have access to the same supply per head of population as we do?

The answer is in the post you quoted. You can bet your mortgage that were the roles reversed, it would be getting sung from the rooftops and infinite amounts of smoke blown up certain arses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
