I'm at the lower end of the 30-39 age group, but our GP practice has been on the ball with reserve lists in order to minimise vaccine wastage. If appointment slots aren't booked, they'll open them up to younger age groups. You don't need to be a patient at the surgery either for the reserve list. I wasn't expecting to get vaccinated until June, but absolutely delighted. Took 2mins in and out. Exceptionally efficient. Mon the vaccines.

Other than that weirdo though loads of people chatting in the streets, no masks, no social distancing and quite rightly so. Rational people have had enough. Those who want to live in perpetual fear can do so let the rest of us get on with life. Couple days ago I noticed a guy cycling wearing a mask but not wearing a helmet. Felt like stopping to tell him that he would be far safer ditching the mask for a helmet. I wear a mask while cycling. Its nothing to do with covid, it keeps insects out my mouth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like Rangers fans demanding to know exactly what they can and can't sing because they can't fathom it out for themselves. Remember that from a few years ago? Aye I've no clue about what you're on about or the relevancy of it to my post. Love it when people equate supporting a political party to supporting football teams though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe nothing to do with covid - I wear a face covering when cycling sometimes, even running (especially in trails or along the canal) as it stops me swallowing bugs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Jesus wept.I really can't get my head round why you would go for a test with no symptoms. My missus had it in November, and the only way I was going for a test was if I had developed symptoms. I had to go for one last week as I was going in for surgery, I can think of a lot more pleasant ways to pass a few minutes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably hoping they get loads of asymptomatic cases to keep numbers high and use as reasoning for not easing restrictions. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 You definitely need to take a test if someone in your household tests positive. Seeing the Free Palestine protest in London and the Rangers celebrations in Glasgow demonstrates that people aren't interested in restrictions any more. Yet we have the UK and Scottish government giving advice on hugging with completely straight faces. At this point all the talk of restrictions in the UK is political theater by cynical governments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife had symptoms, tested positive, then lived in the spare room for 10 days. My daughter and I isolated as instructed and neither of us had symptoms.

There is a difference between lab based antibodies and real world data for starters. This same nonsense came out for the 'South Africa' variant, yet a huge real world study in Qatar showed despite 'considerable' reduction in 'protection', the protection that remained err... was still overwhelming in terms of being able to stub out the shan variant. The 'South African' variant also has greater partial immune evasion than the 'Indian' variant, so this mewling can be directed into the nearest bin. This breakdown in messaging is simply yet another failure of 'the science'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbigal Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) Daily Cases Update: Another poor day with cases up 5.28% Glasgow continues to surge but it is now very much in Cowboy & Indian territory in the Wild South side. 1 in 60 now have the Rona confirmed.
