super_carson Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 19 people? Hardly a scientific cross section of a population of nearly 5.5 million... Were they 19 people from Devi’s Twitter feed or Leitch’s church group? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all used to travel on the same Airdrie suppporters bus as Leitch, they have advised the Scots Govt to go for a zero covid approach, to bring back lynching and to invade Poland. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrmad Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Little surprise, I would think these groups will always attract more of your typical busy body types, they're the type that applaud the Philpy's of this world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unreal. At the school my kids go to the parents are truly the issue. No matter how many times they were asked to wear masks and stay apart at drop off (and also leave as soon as the kids were dropped off) the same parents would get into wee groups with no masks for a chat - the unbelievable (yet believable) thing is a good number of them are/were domestic and catering staff in care homes and home visit care workers.

Todd_is_God Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 1 hour ago, Have some faith in Magic said: A panel of 19 members of the public have decided that elimination of covid is the target as part of a covid holyrood panel. Advice by Jason and Devi to the panel and they concluded that elimination was the way forward after spending four Saturdays in January with them. All 19 were unanimous in their opinion, so that sounds like a balanced panel. Surely this is a joke? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 If this group has the slightest bit of influence, no matter how small, I think it is the single daftest thing that's been done over the last 12 months. I'm in awe of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I have this vision of Jason playing a trumpet Roy Castle style while his 19 disciples sing "Elimination" to the tune of "Dedication" in a gospel choir style. Life just gets more surreal by the day ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in awe of it.I doubt they have any influence at all, it's a public talking shop. The SG have umpteen of the public forums none if which have any influence. Full of your community councilor and retired head teacher types. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 If one good thing comes out of all this it's that we lob all these Citizens Assemblies and other related ideas directly in the fucking bin. Whatever you think about Covid, these ideas are just appallingly bad. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As part of a move towards elimination of the virus, we agreed that future increases in cases should lead to earlier, shorter, and localised lockdowns. We consider that the Scottish Government has previously gone into lockdown too late, which has led to more deaths and longer lockdown periods." Can't wait for Glasgow to shut down for a few days every couple of weeks as a few folk have a cold. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your point it should be representative. Possibly the panel was but Leitch and Devi presented such an overwhelming case for zero covid they were happy to vote that way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_is_God Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 f**k it i skimmed through the report. How can 4 people vote for a mitigation strategy, yet not vote against an elimination strategy? If you are going to ask 19 people what they feel the strategy should be then surely they should get one vote, not a vote on all five strategies? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
