Billy Jean King Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Except they don't usually enforce themDon't know about Glasgow but it's pretty rigorous down here. Police patrol the beaches every good day, they even have a quad type buggy now. Booze routinely seized and emptied. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is claiming that Covid "only bothers individuals consuming alcohol". I know ffs, I’m not very keen on so many of the rules but people who argue the toss about them with smart arsed remarks ie oh the virus can’t get you at a wedding or if you’re with 6or less , are missing the point None of the rules will prevent someone catching covid, what they do is mitigate how much it can spread by putting limitations in placePished people get louder the more drunk they get, spit when they talk, lean into peoples personal space when they’re talking to them and don’t like taking a telling from othersYou can see why the government are reluctant to allow folk just to go and get steamin right away 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is claiming that Covid "only bothers individuals consuming alcohol". I didn't say that. Context is key. We are dealing with people who may not have seen friends or family face to face for about 5 months, who can now (legally) travel to meet friends outdoors. They perhaps don't have gardens so decide to go to a big wide open outdoor space for a few cans, as they have literally no other option. What do the police or SG think is going to happen if they turn a small group of people away? That they say "aww ok, cheerio guys" and go home individually? No one is saying advertise "bring yer carryout to the park" but a few cans in the park is better than a few cans in a house. A bit of common sense policing wouldn't go amiss. Are they turning people away who turn up, or subsequently gather, in groups of more than 6? Or is it just alcohol that is being targetted as usual?

pandarilla Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Scottish numbers: 23 April 2021 Summary 255 new cases of COVID-19 reported 19,771 new tests for COVID-19 that reported results 1.5% of these were positive 1 new reported death(s) of people who have tested positive 12 people were in intensive care yesterday with recently confirmed COVID-19 93 people were in hospital yesterday with recently confirmed COVID-19 Can only assume no change. Other than another death reported it is really positive viewing. Am i right in saying the 93 figure is anyone in a hospital who has tested positive with covid or is it patients who have been brought into hospital because of covid?There's a massive difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a massive difference. The former. The number of people who are currently in hospital who have tested positive for Covid in the last 28 (or it might be 21) days, no matter what they are currently being treated for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingscot Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 They've been cracking down on Kelvingrove for a while, even pre-covid. There's been stabbings and trouble in the past, whatever reason loads of teenagers seem to travel from all over to that park. It's the same on sunny days when there is a police presence for the trains to Ayr as part of 'safer shores' after teenagers used to go mental on the trains. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit disingenuous presenting the data in a way like this tbh - it seems the purpose is more to minimise its effects than to draw any genuine conclusions. Fact is 150k+ people in the UK alone died because of Covid. That's a lot of people, no matter what age they were or which proportion of the population we're talking about. Yes, a lot of money has been wasted and a lot of decisions would probably have been taken differently had we the knowledge we have now, I totally agree, but we didn't have that knowledge, we didn't know that vaccines would save the day so quickly, and had we banked on them being so effective so quickly, most people would have been fucking raging at taking that gamble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont know if he wants us to maintain SD and masks etc. In terms of this prediction its positive but he hardly has a track record of being right. Was it not him who predicted 30,000 deaths a day or something ridiculous. I just find him odious and have done for years 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
