8MileBU Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 2 minutes ago, Aladdin said: The Covid One Year Ago account is all the evidence you need to support setting up a public inquiry. Both health experts and politicians got it badly, badly wrong and their failings should be laid bare for everyone to see and so lessons can be learned. I would support two inquiries north and south of the border to avoid accusations of partisanship. No reason why the Scottish government shouldn't face scrutiny of how they have acted. And continue to act. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NRS metric is a little better but they have loosened the definition so much it isn't really clear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - and remember that the 5 year average is going to see a bump for the next 2 months as we factor in the 2020 excess deaths, so we could soon be well below the average. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbigal Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) Regarding Five a Sides. they are certainly currently running in Dundee at Soccerworld. No tackling and social distancing must be stretching the bounds of reality. As the Polis are always playing it must be fine. I assume other outdoor 5s have not reopened as non contact sport ? Following the latest Government Restrictions, SoccerWorld will be open for limited outdoor bookings under strict guidelines. All bookings must adhere to Non-Contact Rules (No tackling, no handshakes, respect social distancing) Outdoor pitches only Maximum 14 players per pitch No entry to the building including toilet facilities. Payments to be made in full by one nominated player at the main entrance. Please turn up no more than 5 minutes before your booking is due to start and wait in your car until your pitch time.

Also, we have to bear in mind that many people take longer than 28 days to die. The only person I 'know' that died (friend of a friend) was on a ventilator at Xmas and only passed last week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only person I 'know' that died (friend of a friend) was on a ventilator at Xmas and only passed last week. That's the point I'm making - the "within 28 days of a positive test" can count people who shouldn't be there as per my example, and also miss people as some folk can be in hospital with Covid for weeks before dying. The NRS metric is more accurate, but still not 100% accurate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charger29 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Thanks. Clear as mud! So using 17th May as an example when "adult contract sport can resume" eg fitba below SPFL, I read that as perhaps it can in say Fife and Edinburgh, but it wouldn't in the Lothians as things stand as they wouldn't fall into the Level 2 limits, they'd still be at Level 3.Yeah, that's how I'd read it currently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnieman Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Last 24 hours625 new cases - 3% positivity 422 in hospital - down 1838 in ICU - down 412 have died We really have stalled re new infections and are now well above the UK figures. Vaccinations numbers seem slow to get upto speed, if we're to hit the 15th April target for all 1-9 groups we need to be doing 45k first jags a day, every day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Bully Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Travelling Tabby is a fantastic resource. Looking at the deaths normally reported by day (as there is a clear pattern of how they are spread over the week), they are plummeting just now.

Elixir Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Gregor Smith saying this: Quote He says that continuing vaccination of the population will let them judge what normality will look like for society in the summer. Err, I think the public will be the ones to judge that once the vaccine has been made available to everyone, champ. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbigal Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 22 hours ago, Sherrif John Bunnell said: That's some effort from the Czech Republic recently. They must be pumping COVID into the water supply or something. The amount of deaths in the Czech republic at the moment is staggering. Been averaging 200 a day now for a while. Population a little over 10 million. Now the most deadly country in the world at 2,200 deaths per million population. That is 14% worse than 2nd place Belgium (Who have been too honest) and 16% worse than the UK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) Brussels' ongoing losing of the plot continuing. Potentially problematic as Pfizer is made in Belgium. Maybe the rollout in the EU would be higher were the EU or its Member States not continually picking fights with and trashing the reputation of one of the procured vaccines.
