Coronavirus (COVID-19)


Recommended Posts

Got my first AZ jag this morning. Place didnt seem too busy at all. Streets were busy though, probably why east ren is soaring to the top of the shame chart.
We're set up to have people in and out in 10 minutes now rather than the 25 minutes with Pfizer so provided people are turning up when they're advised to and there's no delays with booking in or people complaining about having to change their masks and sanitise on entry then it should never appear too busy.

30 odd students at Dundee uni have tested positive after a flat party last weekend. The state of my Facebook rn with folk commenting on one of the articles saying they should be getting chucked off their courses and calling them idiots, when, surprise surprisea bunch of the ones moaning are the same ones updating their stories with the gals round every Saturday for prosecco and Ant and Dec.

Some week. A very positive FM message, great weather and I had the AZ jag earlier with no side effects (yet). Do I risk breaking the feel good factor by paying to  watch the Forfar game or just sit outside with beer and pies? *

 

*Beer and pies, obv.

They arent taking it by choice but do you think it's ok for ethnic minorities to be shunned from football/events because of this? 

I don't think it's ok for those who simply there isn't even the option of taking the vaccine to be shunned from football/events.

It took 2 days for the sore arm to kick in for me, but that's all I've had.

You sure that wasn’t because you were tearing the heid aff it after you got your jag?

BBC News currently reporting about Europe facing a "third wave". Looks pretty grim for them at the moment.

The evidence of how well the vaccines are doing just keeps piling up. Despite making a c**t of it at almost every turn, the one thing they have got right might just save the government's arse.

You're playing us. The worst case scenario from a Loons point-of-view should be a 0-0.

Other studies have shown up to 60 pct efficacy.

One study I looked at showed that there was no hospitalisations  due to it.

Incidentally WHO are backing vaccine against strain.

I was driving so wasn't totally concentrating but he did state that the high efficacy studies were all done in labs rather than in the population.

Because they are actually trained experts in this field, and are very much of the opinion that Zero Covid is impossible.  Which it practically is.

Leitch is a dentist who doesn't know what he's talking about, wants some form of restrictions forever in the search for Zero Covid, which with Scotland having open borders with countries who are not seeking Zero Covid, is never going to happen.  He's enjoying being the face of Covid in Scotland, and know's he'll soon have to go back to his practice, fingering the mouths of people who haven't brushed their teeth in 20 years.

This is juvenile pish.

He probably is a bit overexposed these days and he's said some things that haven't stood up over a longer term.  However, he's eminently qualified in the realm of public health and he's capable of communicating clearly and with authority.  

His approach to any emergence from lockdown can be characterised as cautious, perhaps even excessively so, which means that some of the shoutier wee lads on here get terribly shrill in questioning his credentials and motives.

It's often a bit embarrassing watching them nicking each other's names for him.

He's a patronising twat and you seem to take great delight in being as snide and smug on here. Get over yourself.

There’s nothing juvenile or pish about it I’m afraid. It’s the popular consensus on here, whether you like it or not.

No he isn’t.  His job is in quality of clinical services.  That in no way qualifies him as an expert in public health.

One of his many qualifications is a degree which focusses on public health practice (Masters in Public Health from Harvard).

I think he's made some major mistakes in this and has infuriated me on many occasions but the notion he doesn't have training and qualification in public health just isn't true.
