Media dressing up the 'FORTY SIX!!' mutations like more mutations = more deadly. Might come to something, might come to f**k all. But a good excuse for Sturgeon et al to be more cautious and to "wait two weeks" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor has asked for his bloods to be tested before they make a decision about hospital. They are hoping to find out tonight but it might be middle of night before results come through. If he is hospitalised my Mum has been told that she will not get into see him. Sorry to hear that mate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is hospitalised my Mum has been told that she will not get into see him. Hope that everything OK for you and your family. My dad tested positive yesterday. His Care Home had zero cases until very recently. Cases now likely tell us something about transmissability and having had a number of cases the level of testing has been ramped up. My dad is 92, frail and has dementia. Thus far he's showing no symptoms of Covid. Hopefully that remains the case but should he deteriorate we won't want escalation of care. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 2 hours ago, Honest_Man#1 said: Genuinely the fact that England have less restrictions is already well and truly being used as the excuse up here for our cases. It should be the best evidence yet of the futility of restrictions to show a direct comparison between them and us, and how little difference the outcomes are, but instead the high rates in Scotland and Wales will be blamed on people travelling to/from England. Bookmark it. I've already read some folk on Twitter claiming that cases in Scotland are being driven by cases imported from England. Also read the ridiculous claim you can't compare Scotland and England in terms of restrictions and their effectiveness cause we have lots of hills. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything can out compete Omicron then the whole world will have it in the space of a week. Hasn't shown up in UK surveillance data either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anotherchance Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Denmark, the country which Nicola Sturgeon headlined as having worrying data a couple of weeks back, also has less than 5 in ICU with this korma variant. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 To be fair, if I have a bad cold I usually stay off work and take a break from my usual routine of kissing numerous buxom wenches. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA - and it’s absolutely shit To be honest it passed a few hours It’s portrayal of many things like tabloid culture , modern apps , social media and extremely polarised political views was pretty spot on and was not far off the reality of what we have seen the last two years. A few years ago a film like that would have been pure science fiction fantasy . Unfortunately the only bit that was really far fetched was the asteroid part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
