Erih Shtrep Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Is there an address where I can write to Prof Jason Andrew Leitch to thank him for all his hard work keeping us all safe? Maybe pop him a wee £10 gift card. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Back Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 If we go back to what has been touted as the underlying reason for all restrictions it becomes a fairly simple question for me. Can the NHS offer a full range of all pre-pandemic services and cope with any Coronavirus cases? If no then some level of restrictions will be required but I would doubt as excessive as we have today. If the vaccination programme is proven to be having an impact then it isn't justifiable to have all current restrictions in place. If yes then there's no justification for any restrictions. Case numbers themselves should not (and never should have been) a determining factor. They're an indicator, nothing more. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're arguing that religious intolerance isn't a major reason for wars happening then I would have to disagree. Better.

Billy Jean King Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I'd suggest we are not far away from case numbers being irrelevant tbhThat should become the case once hospital admissions and deaths fall to last summer's levels and the over 50 group have all had their two doses. We are months away from that point given May is the target for the single dose in over 50s and hospital numbers are still above the initial peak never mind anywhere near last summer's levels. Your a long way from being able to declare this over as a public health issue....for the second time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently they can fairly accurately predict hospitalisation and deaths 2 or 3 weeks in advance based on case numbers. Once the population is vaccinated then this modelling has to change significantly you would hope? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true regardless of doses of who has been dosed. Any retention and use of emergency powers beyond then is a disgrace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A huge percentage of the most vulnerable people have now been vaccinated so the case number indicator (assuming vaccines are effective and at this point there is no evidence to suggest otherwise) should already reflect a different percentage of hospital admissions for the vaccinated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but vaccine levels won't get to that level much before May although at current speed that could become an April date that sounds pretty realistic to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
