No one said that should have been held online. Summit should have happened. Restrictions shouldn’t be being considered now. Life should be normal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is less severe, then we can almost ignore cases. We could be looking at, essentially, a bad cold. Will be interesting to see what the reaction is if it really is highly transmissible, but mild. A real crossroads for our politicians this, tbh. They would do well to remember this isn't March 2020 IMO. If it turns out to be less severe than Delta we should be offering Joburgers discounted holidays in Scotland. In the meantime I don't see the problem with mild precautions in case it isn't, to give more time to adjust the vaccines.

If it turns out to be heehaw, then they look ridiculous, and have limited credibility should an actual issue crop up down the road. I don't think the current media frenzy, caveated with "we don't actually know yet tbh" or not, is helpful to anyone. The media is a shambles today, I mean we already knew that but fucking hell man..... Reading papers talking about "vaccine dodging varient" etc. How can they be allowed to print that shit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I holidayed in SA, everyone we met from Joburg was a Grade A c**t.

Yeah: we can safely conclude that covering our beaks in cloth rags until the end of time is not normal human behaviour. You could almost say expecting people to comply with such a thing is 'selfish'. You utter bell-end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the incubation period, you’d need to look at who tests positive after the event to get an accurate picture of transmission, something they’ve so far not given us much info on. Also look im not mad keen on all the restrictions, but from observation at cop there wasn’t much adherence to the restrictions which were in place, all for the cameras, which angers me because its a bit do as i say and two tier. Wanting to restrict travel after all her pals got to Scotland and she got her pictures (and achieved nothing). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pharma companies need to look after their shareholders and max out profits every year. Aye, pharma companies are the bad guys in all this. Those nasty companies, creating medicines and preventative medicines. Just doing it for the money when they should be doing it and paying for it with the currency of positive vibes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be being too nice to them, but I'd have thought that sequencing the samples would be obvious given the event was higher risk given delegates attended from all over the world. Saying that, I don't believe I've seen anything indicating how many positive tests were identified at COP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming we are actually allowed back I am looking forward to returning to Scotland next week to prime Pantomime season. Enjoy yourself! Freddy’s at the I drive south outlets does some fantastic burgers. Meant to be going in January but dont think theres much chance now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturgeon is hitting the panic button basically wanting to kill the travel industry (again). Full on wfh again which will hit loads of service businesses and she wants the treasury to get the cheque book out again. Thats hardly mild. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
