Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Off the back of the 'leak' about removal of absolutely everything in April I get the impression that the UK Gov will want to get as many people as possible triple vaccinated by then to reduce the impacy as much as possible, and then switch to an annual vaccination scheme like they do with flu.

The risk of job losses and threat of extra restrictions are just to encourage uptake. No-one will actually lose their job, in April and there will be no restrictions.

Correct. I believe the tap booey Balloux recently done a piece on why, for naive populations, three or even four doses might be required to achieve optimal immune response/memory.

Shocked to see the recent 'spike' burning itself out naturally again.

How many times does this need to happen before goons (like the catastrophically bald Swinney) stop making statements suggesting that they can somehow influence the virus?

I wonder if there are some virologists looking at the data from the last 20 months and wondering just how much what we 'know' about viruses is wrong. For example, if we tested for flu in the same way we currently do for covid, would the numbers be consistently high too? Are there thousands of people each week who 'catch' flu, yet suffer little to no symptoms to the point they go completely unnoticed?

Perhaps our entire understanding respriratory viruses is wrong, and the numbers we are seeing now are (far from being concerning) what we should expect to see from any endemic virus.

Due to be going to Vienna next week for the Europa League but can see it getting knocked on the head. An utter pain in the arse. 
My wife went to Vienna yesterday, official verdict is that it's not too bad as long as you've got your vaccine passport (and your actual passport) sorted to get into pretty much everything.

Those 0-14 rates pointing to the only sector of society where any 'restrictions to save oor NHS/Christmas' should logically be directed.

AKA The Christmas Holidays.

Probably see vaccine passports extended to all hospitality settings over the Festive Period mind, to keep up the illusion that selfish adults (definitely not the kids) are driving the case numbers.

Update expected tomorrow from Sturgeon regarding the possible extension of the vaccine passport laws to cover other indoor areas such as pubs, cafes and cinemas.

Professor Linda Bauld also suggesting that there may be tougher advice to work from home or alternatively to wear a mask all day at work.

Bauld and Devi trying to stay relevant, :lol:

Just a conspiracy theory...

Unless it happens here, then your proclamations about what is definitely planned and/or going to happen here absolutely are just conspiracy theories.

Stating something is going to happen here, getting laughed at for it, then using an example from somewhere else as if to somehow suggest you were right is nonsense, yet you do this constantly.

You said vaccine passports would never be used here for pubs and restaurants. 

It looks highly likely that Crankie is going to announce that later today.

Then you can come back later and say told you so.

I also look forward to that being enforced in the majority of boozers / KFC / McDonald's etc...

I don’t see how they can enforce working from home without furlough as it means lots of roles are surplus to requirements.

I know in my office the cleaners, receptionists, facilities managers etc were all furloughed. The local sandwich shop has just taken on new members of staff- this time last year you were lucky if there were 2 customers in at lunchtime.

Even hospitality would be affected as a lot of pubs in business areas are not viable during the week without office workers.

Personally I’ve found being back in the office 3 days a week has been much better for my general well-being and I’m dreading the thought of being stuck in my bedroom again for months.

Ahead of NS's briefing later I'll leave these here.

Not only are cases no longer rising overall, they aren't rising in any age bracket.

If she says they are, and subsequently uses that as justification for extending the use of vaccine passports, then it would be nice if, just for once, journalists / opposition leaders would call her out for lying.

They won't, though.
