At that point we need to ditch all the panic about 'infection rates' and concentrate on hospitalisation rates and deaths which will surely be tiny by then. We can't allow lockdown to continue to weeks and months more just because younger healthy (often asymptomatic) age groups are catching Covid. We've been saying that all along on this thread, but with Leitch and Sridhar advising the SG, i doubt it'll go that way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, because this Government absolutely have a track record on doing what they've said. They also said it was safe for schools to go back in January. Not sure how that turned out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBC News - Covid in Scotland: Tighter rules will be used to decide on levels https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-56237471 Maybe if the powers that be read it often enough the lightbulb will go off that the WHO advice is out of date and therefore irrelevant as it doesn't take any vaccines into account. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 In this particular lockdown tennis, golf, fishing and horse riding have been allowed AFAIK What confuses me is, I can't see what today's looseining of restrictions (specfically u18s allowed to do non-contact outdoor sports) actually changes. Yes it'll allow non-contact football / rugby training, but as far as i know, both of these are contact sports.Cricket maybe? Not sure if it's currently allowed?On that, I saw what looked like a full on cricket match going on in Glasgow the other day. It's the sort of thing the government should have been encouraging to keep people fit and active, rather than outlawing outdoor sports with minimal risk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The government have missed a massive opportunity to push an exercise agenda during this. Leaving fives pitches/gyms unopen until late August last summer was a disgrace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(That I may never again go to Hampden to watch QP v Anybody is something I don't want to entertain yet.) In that scenario, rather than giving up my slime, I'm pouring the entire bottle onto my paws. I'll have the most slippy hands that Hampden ever did see. (Other than Ray Clemence 1976.) Rock steady? Did you wake up from a 15 year coma?

If so, how did it go? I received my first dose last Monday (the AZ one) and had a hellish reaction to it. I had the virus at the back end of January (three-four days of mild fever/headache/cough) and felt like I was running at around 40% for the next few weeks. Got my first Jag (AZ)* twenty-nine days after initial infection, and had a sore arm for a couple of days. Overall, I felt (and am feeling) much more chipper though - whether that is down to the vaccine or a psychological feeling that I'm protected, I don't know. * No queue jumping - when the goalposts got moved, my stroke history got me bumped up a couple of groups.

Jan Vojáček Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 That's a really notable drop in hospital cases and, especially, ICU patients. Good to see positivity down at 3.3 percent too after yesterday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
