Nowhere to make your point that gets noticed, without you being branded uncaring for those affected by covid. Nowhere to protest. No-one, and I mean no-one I know, is anything other than scunnered, totally scunnered, with Sturgeon, Johnson & Co. I would happily attend a protest against restrictions now but the issue is they’re all dominated by anti vax weirdos. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawson Park Boy Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 26 minutes ago, Jambomo said: The problem is that having a massive wave of people who are sick at one time is as bad for the economy as lockdown is. Yesterday i was on the way to a dentist appointment and there were a number of announcements about train cancellations because of staff sickness. The appointment I had was rearranged because the first one the dentist was off sick. I know my brother had so many staff off sick (he’s down south) that his cafe was shut and not making any money for nearly 2 weeks. Sick people aren’t going out and spending money, then shops, cafes, pubs etc aren’t making enough. Limiting the spread is still important, perhaps not to the extent of saving lives but to try and prevent mass illness at one time. At least lockdown normally brings furlough money with it but if everyone is still getting sick, then there is still a problem. But are those people actually sick rather than having been in contact with someone with Covid? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 If we're screwed just now from an infection perspective and jags (including boosters) don't seem to have any effect, then why does the SG or anyone else suddenly think that everything will be "ok" after this 3 week shut down ? It looks like another write off of normal life until about May again !! (Better get that haircut in before it's too late). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Cant wait to spent the next few saturdays watching EPL games at Spurs, West Ham, Arsenal, Chelsea etc with full houses in the Omicron epicentre, because im not allowed to sit in a half empty, 3 sided TFS in Falkirk (not the omicron epicentre) f**k knows what will happen there. They might carry on with fans until 2022 but I'd still guess they'll end up with capacity restrictions before our three-week* period is done. What's the deal with pubs and restaurants btw? Capacity limits and table service, or anything else?*Yes it'll obvs be more 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I’m the case of my brothers cafe, yes they all were. Obviously I don’t know in other cases but given the latest Gov figures, with a rise of 63% positive test results, there is a good chance they are. https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/easy_read 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only made this decision about three weeks ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) It would be nice if rather than labelling football and hospitality as potential super spreaders, if they could actually produce any data to show that they are already places were there is a high incidence of people transmitting Covid. I'm going to the panto on Christmas Eve, Kings Theatre in Glasgow which holds 1785 people, and is typically sold out for just about every performance at this time. It will not be under any new restrictions from Sunday. "Following the science"? f**k off. Edited December 21, 2021 by peasy23 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this was me, I'd cancel the visit too or re-schedule. Absolutely no way would I allow any OCD-freak to tell me how to live my life for the dubious honour of getting to visit them. Your choice bud but this woman is going to be wrappiong you round her finger for years and years if you don't take a stand. I actually take your point and if it was my own mother I’d be taking your stance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. I actually spoke at a Freedom Rally held locally last Spring but was disappointed to find that most of the folks there (not many) were anti Vaxers and anarchist types. Never again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
