It could be that the numbers in Scotland at present are low enough to delay it. Doubt it. Looking increasingly likely that it may even have been speading in the UK before it was ever in South Africa: South Africa is well past its Delta variant wave so a new variant emerging with slow exponential growth is much easier to detect there than it would be in most other countries right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People calling for a lockdown, do these people not know the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results? Same with the face mask brigade, do they not know that most of the masks people wear say on the packaging that they’re basically ineffective in preventing the spread of covid we all know they’ll be a booster/jab in a couple of months for the moronic variant, where does the madness stop? The reddit scotland sub is always top banter. You are not aloud to criticize the SG on there.

Michael W Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) All over 18s should be offered boosters and the gap reduced to three months. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-59457268 I'm sure Stevie Wonder could see the increased roll out of boosters coming, but this is probably going to result in a lot of logistical issues given the large widening of catchment and the reduced duration between doses.

Herd immunity achieved quicker with less deaths. So if this one wipes out Delta so be it. Fire in the boosters and all is good. No bed wetting required.

She fully expected Boris Johnson to completely disregard it. Do you have any idea how politics works? 3 hours ago, CheeseBurger said: When you bluff, you don't go in at a level that you expect to be called. The whole point was to present something to Boris Johnson that had no chance of him ever taking seriously. His response was exactly what she was anticipating. 2 hours ago, CheeseBurger said: She's a politician. Name me one that isn't a disgrace and i'll kindly explain to you why you're wrong. I think everyone has a fair idea how it works. Unfortunately pre-Covid I had bought into Sturgeon being different from the rest of the odious group of people that call themselves politicians. I genuinely believed she was not only competent, but actually a decent person who was open, honest and had similar views on what is best for the country to myself. What this type of pathetic posture shows though (and she has shown over the entire Covid period) is that she is exactly the same as the rest of them. Putting herself, and ensuring that she covers her arse and looks better than the UK Government, ahead of the mental health of the population with shite like today. She’s not who I thought she was, and that’s really disappointing for me as I’d firmly hung my hat on her and independence before this. Now I’d be terrified of her/the SNP having full control. She’s forced me into actively hoping for Boris and the Tories to save us from them which if you told me I would be 18 months ago I’d have laughed in your face. Depressing times. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally refuses to wear a mask for all the reasons expounded by oaksoft but also, most importantly, in the interests of LIBERTY. He’s a bit of an odd ball but just wish we had some Scottish politicians of that ilk. On the left you’ve also got to hand it to Piers Corbyn and his mob. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
