pub car king Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Interesting to see what the return of schools do to the numbers if anything. Johnson is going toet this run and the data supports that. Sturgeon and Drakeford have painted themselves into a corner. To retain credibility and because its the right thing to do she needs to hold her hands up and scrap this shite next week if not sooner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, they are trundling towards using effectively "fake news" to hold their line purely to save face. They KNOW that the isolation rules should be changed, and they KNOW businesses should be operating freely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I predicted yesterday Sturgeon looked at the numbers and realised she was going to look bad at the briefing and sent Swinney out to make an arse of himself. To use such an astonishingly easily debunked lie as your defence shows how little data they have to back their stance up. Honestly, just acknowledged you jumped the gun and roll the restrictions back... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereisalight.. Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Johnson is really making NS and weirdo Drakeford look like absolute mugs/dictators. Never thought I'd see the day. Surely NS has no reason to carry on with the 500 spectators/nightclubs shut, nonsense after the 17th 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorongil Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) According to the current numbers, the likelihood of being hospitalised due to COVID of any stripe is 0.005%. And that’s being incredibly generous to the COVID Fetishists. Because as they are always telling us, positive test numbers represents a fraction of those actually infected. And the hospital numbers we do see are include those in hospital who happen to have COVID, not the numbers being hospitalised due to COVID. It is over.

UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Seeing as Boris let it rip through everyone over the school holidays then there probably won't be a big jump in numbers of people getting cold like symptoms in England.Expecting that there could be a big jump up here though which will give Cares More some ammo to carry on with restrictions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, with BJ extending the time Plan B is in place, it is perfect for her usual "we think we need to go further" spiel. I just can't put it past them to do something completely stupid as they have had a collective heads gone over the last week or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's "ripped" through Scotland at exactly the same rate as England so it will be similar in the coming weeks unless you are actually saying the restrictions in Scotland have made a difference (stats say they haven't) so not sure why you think we will not have acquired the same level of immunity. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do they then spin increasing case numbers with increased restrictions whilst other places have plateaued or reducing case numbers with less restictions and no crowd bans in place? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don’t they will be much worse backlash than it was 2 weeks ago. Every day that they remain in place with a wall of increasing evidence showing that the restrictions are making no difference and an increasing number of medical professionals and scientists coming out and saying that there's no need for restrictions, the more and more they are going to be questioned and pushed back on. They've lost the room here, the only thing they can salvage is a diminishing amount of damage control with every passing day. The only people who are still fully on the 'it's still very dangerous so restrictions are needed' bandwagon are the lunatic fringe/grifters like Deepti and the 'SNP can do no wrong no matter what' mob. Most people are either already off the wagon or are becoming increasingly sceptical as to the rationale behind the decisions.

Great advice It's unreal how people can't grasp the financial implications staying at home with a cold could have. So many people in poorer areas, on low incomes etc just can't afford to take a few days off without pay or with SSP (which is a joke anyway)...its not that easy, and tbh, staying at home with a cold is just a ridiculous suggestion 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
