Coronavirus (COVID-19)


Recommended Posts

This nonsense is starting to get really, really demoralising. There's only so many times I can e-mail my MSP complaining about this before I concede to the futility of it all. Pretty much ignoring a lot of the restrictions at this point anyway but christ I am done with this.

Glasgow must remain in Level 3 but East Ren remains in level 2. Bit stupid. Cases are the important measure unless they’re not. 

It's an acknowledgement finally that smaller authorities are far more easily skewed against by relatively small numbers cases wise using the per 100k measure.

The entire point of a per 100k measure is to normalise case loads against population.

If there’s now an acknowledgment that the per 100,000 measure doesn’t work in certain areas, surely it should be binned in favour of, well, whatever system is being used to keep East Renfrewshire in level 2?

Chucking darts at a board?

Any idea what this username pish is when you attempt to register. My envelope is well binned. Is it something you can work out like your name ?

You dont need it there is a recover username button that let's you retrieve it after answering some questions

Many thanks. It worked and Vaccine 2 is still 50 yards from the house on a Friday afternoon a fortnight the day.

Couldn't have written the appointment any better.

The gap BTW is 10 weeks on the nose.

I’m genuinely surprised at both the Scottish Government finally ditching their Hokey Cokey with levels, and also the reaction on here.

This is good news. It is inconsistent with previous steps, but previous steps were shite (and everyone on here complained). This kind of negative reaction, both amongst the media and the general public, is exactly why governments across the UK keep getting bounced into idiotic measures.

The general tone of Sturgeon’s speech was good too. Indian variant probably not much more transmissible than Kent, vaccines still work, we’re moving forward.

It was but it looks like they are finally realising that at the low levels we are at now they don't really suit.

Would you rather they put ER to L3 based on 17 new cases just because their population means that's higher per 100k than Glasgow. In theory an outbreak like the ER one "should" be much easier to contain than one involving 100+ cases.
