DeeTillEhDeh Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 The Scottish Government being slated for doing too many jags is a new low for this thread. That's the type of drivel I'd expect from Willie Rennie when he is given his daily whinging slot on BBC One.It's Todd - you would not expect anything else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to learn to live with it and adapt Vaccines, boosters, hygiene, common sense. Otherwise we just repeat the cycle of mistakes time after time for eternity. You can't keep borders closed forever, you can't keep locking down. Enough is enough and decisions need to be made that accept that zero covid ain't going too happen. Meanwhile, in the fantasy land of 'zero' Covid: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-56035668 What a fucking joke. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting as that is a tiny % compared to the UK. Need to see how that goes. What I've found quite interesting is that this "2nd wave" (or is it the 3rd we're on to now ?) appears to be following the same curve (give or take), throughout the whole of Europe irrespective of the levels of lockdown or how draconian / lax each country has been. Funnily enough, the point about the most populated areas not being the worst hit has yet to be addressed as surely if it was just on "close contact" then the most densely populated areas would be the worst hit by an absolute country mile but this just doesn't seem to be the case at all. I really don't know, but the longer this goes on the more I'm inclined to believe that there's something more at play, however I can't answer what or why as countries actively destroying their own economies and alienating their own electorates just makes no sense at all, although having said that, not much does in this whole debacle.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simplifying it down to "all fat people are like that because they feel no shame" is utterly moronic. Come on. The overwhelming majority of people are fat because they eat too much and do too little. Most people will see themselves getting a wee bit chunky and do something about it. But the others, fuelled by messages like "Big IS Beautiful" and that loving your body is more important than looking after it, don't have an incentive to change, and continue to shovel food into their gubs at an ever increasing rate. How we effectively tackle it is an entirely different question, but the overriding point is that most fat people are not fat because they can't help it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well after that you have to vaccinate an extraordinary amount of people to make a difference, it will be slow progress from there. I hope there is a plan to keep some of the extra capacity in ICU as if the study bore out to be true it would mean your ICU is also about a third full just from Covid folk.

DeeTillEhDeh Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Was in the news today that obesity now is the largest cause of deaths in Scotland, 23.1%. That’s a shocking reflection on our society. We need a massive programme of legislation and intervention to tackle it. The response to COVID has shown that it’s possible to take such actions (and let’s face it, tackling obesity wouldn’t require anything as draconian). It needs to start at an early age and we need to change Scotland’s attitude to diet and exercise; I see more and more kids who can’t run the length of the playground without stopping and wheezing and it’s quite worrying, really. But what was our government’s idea last year? Close the gyms and five a sides for longest but reopen takeaways first. The problem with that argument is that fatties were not going to the gym and playing 5-a-sides before all this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a scotch egg on every table how much did we increase ICU capacity by? I think it was way more than a third but of course that is at the expense of providing other NHS services. Do the NHS have the staff to cope with that kind of uptick in admissions to hospital and ICU as well as providing all pre-pandemic services? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
