Guest Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 That guy has also posted that he wants restrictions for several more years and that society will just have to find other ways of making money which don't require people to work in close proximity to each other. Broken! Absolutely broken. [emoji849]You can safely assume it doesn't affect his livelihood then like everyone else desperate for restrictions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUMBER 7 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Surely when Sturgeon gets on her soap box tomorrow, someone has to rip her to shreds. The excuses and blame will be fired in every direction bar her own, then she’ll bleat about not being given enough money from Westminster. Empty the Indy Ref 2 war chest you’ve siphoned off, as that is now pointless given the number of own goals . Back to the subject matter. These last two years have given an open licence to classify umpteen deaths as Covid, when that has not always been the case. A relative lost her husband last December, reason for death Covid - Rubbish it was vascular issues. In January 2020 I lost my father, reason for death Sepsis / Cancer, i’d bet if he’d lived till April, he’d have gone down as Covid too. It’s become all too convenient to report everything as Covid. Hospital admissions get announced as people entering hospital with Covid, they test positive on entry, but that’s not the reason they have gone in, it’s usually a Heart Attack, Stroke or the likes, but on testing show positive for Covid, because there not vaccinated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 The rules were the same for everyone regardless of whether you like the person that ran the business or not. Whether support ought to have been made available to those that could clearly afford to take the hit themselves is a different matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 52 minutes ago, Snafu said: Leitch is saying Omicron will peak mid-late January with the possibility of higher case numbers in February. Also asking not to cross the border to avoid tighter restrictions protections punishments during the Hogmany celebrations' In an interview with BBC radio programme Good Morning Scotland on Tuesday, Professor Leitch said these cases were “depressingly predictable" as cases quadrupled in the past three weeks. Professor Leitch said: “Case numbers going down is a very difficult piece of information to give. "The modelling suggests that the peak of the Omicron wave in the United Kingdom will be somewhere between mid to late January, maybe even pushing into February. "But that will depend quite a lot on human behaviour and what we do now. "We may not want the peak early because if this is an enormous wave we may want to draw it out over a longer period because you might then get more people vaccinated." On potential further restrictions in Scotland, Professor Leitch said he hoped we could ‘get away without anything too dramatic.’ Anyone on here really wanting this to go on through February? No, no, God no. However, the way they are talking that’s what’s happening. Also, why all the stuff about getting people vaccinated? Anyone who was even slightly interested in getting vaccinated will at least have had their first two doses. Everyone who was advised to get the booster as they were seen as being in an ‘at risk’ group will have had their booster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His business was entitled to this support in the same way other busineses were. There are a number of businesses that didn't need it but were nevertheless entitled to claim it. Some paid it back. I don't disagree that many of the restrictions have generally been there to be disregarded by the "elite" but this has nothing to do with furlough or financial support offered for business. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Going by Leitch's statement Sturgeon is going to double down in the hope she can achieve less deaths than Boris by the end of winter and discredit him. Horrific for the Scottish public. Suicidal for the SNP and independence. For her personally it will be hugely beneficial to her future career and earnings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 9 hours ago, welshbairn said: Just dropping in to ask if anyone has mentioned the possible effect on the Covid stats by voluntary and mandatory mitigation efforts like social distancing, face coverings and WFH which may have reduced the numbers of cases, hospitalisations and deaths a tad? No flu for 2 seasons, how on earth could that have happened? It has to be possible that that's why the worst case scenarios invented by the lying modellers haven't come about? If the bedwetters want to do this while normal people continue to pile into stadia, pubs, clubs and restaurants, as continues down south, then they're free to do so. They probably see themselves as some sort of hospital protecting saviours anyway. It's a shame the Scottish Government don't actually trust the people of Scotland to make their own decisions. Working from home is the only credible measure that you could argue is cutting contacts. Would hospitals be overrun if this and the other discredited theatre were scrapped? I think the most likely scenario would be 'no'. Influenza has been disrupted globally, for rather obvious reasons, but also likely due somewhat to viral interference. 2 hours ago, Binos said: Not just Nicola Sturgeon being cautious https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-59805829 France tightening covid restrictions It's happening everywhere regardless of news from South Africa Good to see France's checkpoint society being shown up for the pointless, ludicrous mess that it is.

According to the wee pamphlet that comes with the LFTs you are supposed to report all tests, negative or positive. As a good citizen. I have been doing so. When I remember. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
