Bairnardo Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Given what's contained in that tweet, one would imagine that the previously discussed Falkirk council insistence on splitting ASN school weeks up with a Wednesday "deep clean" is absolutely pissing in the wind? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might as well proclaim they are putting the leaves back on the trees.

You can see it's going down in places with very few restrictions such as Florida and Sweden. Cases are dropping in Madrid despite schools and universities being open all through winter and bars being allowed to use inside spaces. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the end of the second wave. I agree there's a seasonal aspect to it but it's far more complicated than that. Too many places where it peaked in spring, autumn or even summer. Defo true about Spain. They've far fewer restrictions than us and cases are dropping like a stone. I'm coming to believe there's little point comparing restrictions across countries as there seems to be far more factors at play than the standard lockdown stuff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Elderly friend of the family in Moray at a complete loss as to how she, her daughter and her two sons have managed to catch Covid, with nobody else they know showing any symptoms. Must have all caught it at the shop as they have kept to social distancing, supposedly. I for one am somewhat skeptical of these claims. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effeffsee_the2nd Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I always thought the same until... My kid was sat beside me at the table the other day and said, absolutely out of nowhere having never mentioned anything like it before or having ever - as far as I’m aware - having heard anything like it from me or my wife, that he’d like to buy a pottery wheel and some clay and make something. Wife picked up her phone five minutes later - guess what she got ads for on Facebook? Creepy as f**k.Had he been watching ghostbusters ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they weren't so devastating, it would be utterly hilarious to see Governments repeatedly using them to "control" the virus, without ever seemingly asking themselves just how effective they really are. They weren't, remember, part of any previous pandemic strategy, and are only being done because China did it.

I get the feeling the Main Players on here have either avoided the lurgy, or have been fortunate enough,being young and fit, to have had a mild dose. I'm fifty seven, with a few recent health issues. You'll forgive me if I don't fall into the "it's just like flu" camp. Anyhow, I should be getting those high grade drugs into my arm next week - unexpected upside of my stroke a couple of years ago! I can't understand why you haven't got it before now - I know you posted about you asking your doctor and him saying your conditions didn't justify it (you would have thought because you had more than one condition that would justify it) - but at least it looks like you are now being sorted. I know I'm a wee bit older than you are but I wouldn't have thought my conditions would have got me my jag before you got yours. Maybe the age of the person is more relevant? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total waste of money producing that, imo. It's only an injection, wearing masks and social distancing has been recommended/in force for months, what were people expecting - to be herded together like a cattle market and some flunkey lassoing the patients and dragging them out to be jagged? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
