75 plus skews heavily towards women, is it because they spend so much time yapping in the supermarket or because most of the men don't live to be that auld?

Women do have a longer life expectancy - explained by my Grandpa as "married men die earlier because they want to."

Have they ever mentioned what’s going to happen regarding testing once everyone has been offered the vaccine? Will folk still have to self isolate if they test positive/are a close contact? Surely testing (outwith lateral flow) and test and protect/track and trace should be binned come June or July 
Self isolation was listed as a possible winter measure ongoing so that suggests symptomatic testing would continue.

There would need to be some changes to the system, though, otherwise you're going to end up (particularly with increased mixing) with large numbers of people isolating / off work until test results come back each time they get a wee cough or cold.

That's not really sustainable.

Would be intrigued to know the age groups of these 769 (or more to the point have any of them been vaccinated - suspect not). Although case numbers are remaining at the same kind of level (maybe even dipping a bit, albeit very slowly), it would seem that cases aren't translating into hospitalisations. 

I can picture the move to the tier system being advanced at this rate (although I'm happy to stick with it through to end of Apr)

I could have sworn they weren't expecting the threat of the NHS to drop for a while yet (middle of March maybe?)

It's still busy but there is no longer a material threat that it will be overwhelmed in the next two weeks, hence the downgrade

Level 1 has always been impossible, so Level 2 will obviously still mean being back to normal with no social distancing or other NPI restrictions...

Yeah you’re certainly not wrong or without foundation in that first bit I’ve made bold. Usually you see the analogy  used for football fans, but on the whole, people are fickle. 

Like you say, don’t blame them and easy to understand why.

I'm not any better, I've literally called a player pish then cheered their goal a minute later.

:lol:

We're still recovering from the fucking minter of electing Kirstene Hair, but this is highly pleasing. 

She had fantastic credentials though

Wonder if she has made up her mind about Brexit yet?

Unfortunately, the batton for electing dumb Tory MPs has been passed to my constituency - Jeeso - Andrew Bowie

Tory MP Kirstene Hair ridiculed as Glasgow Question Time audience laugh when she says Boris Johnson cares about Scotland – The Scottish Sun

Can I get some clarity on who The Main Players are?

Was thinking this the other day. You would have to split them into vaguely defined camps first. Am confident of saying that @Todd_is_God is comfortably the Hollywood Hogan of the thread though.

Get yourself over to the Deadpool thread, you will love it there.

P.s what account do you want to keep this one or the Frank Reynolds one?

You’ll have to show your working for that one I’m afraid. I have no affiliation with Frank Reynolds. I only have 1 account I’m not sad like a few folk on here

Sorry if I offended you when I mentioned people having more than 1 account

I find it absolutely mental and baffling to say the least that people are dying every single day (yes even those in their 20s and 30s more so) and there people on here playing the comedian trying to make jokes for a couple of “greenies.” 
It’s utterly barbaric and shameful
