Positivity is remaining fairly steady and hospital numbers when you consider these are across the whole of Scotland, are absolutely fine, imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen various figures of between 13000 and 20000 but yes, thousands.

scottsdad Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I really pay no more attention now to "cases". Hospitalisations, ICU and deaths are what matters. These have seen a small uptick in recent days - this isn't great. But we're vaccinating like hell now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 So we're at about 0.6% hospital capacity on people "with" covid, and about 1% of ICU capacity. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Another day of no deaths is the big one. I think there’s only about three so far this month on the daily measure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 It is a concern but not a surprise that hospital numbers are back up a bit. There is nothing as yet to suggest we’ll get back to a situation where Covid will put hospitals under significant stress again. Vaccination remains key to this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiGi Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 East Renfrewshire sitting about treble the rate of Moray really makes a mockery of the last minute decision to leave Moray in level 3. They'll be shuffling council areas all over the place on a weekly basis if the government continue with this reactionary shite. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 The Scottish Government have backed themselves into a corner with their ridiculous 'case number thresholds'.Its alarming that they think going up and down levels at the drop of a hat is a fitting way to progress. There shouldn't be even a hint of a backward step now, but they seem oblivious to the effects of this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
