No pissing about with a few hundred 'testing' anything either. Just 21 cases in the Highlands in the last 7 days - no justification at all for shelving the Dingwal one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/54016739 Sounds very much like it’ll just be the Rangers home match affected. One assumes Dumbarton, Partick and Queen’s Park also wouldn’t be allowed to host a match with crowds right now. Seems pretty reasonable. I don’t think England will be piling a few thousand into Preston’s stadium at the moment to check it’s safe, and to run with the German example it’s already been stated some teams will have no crowds this side of Christmas due to virus levels in the area. Carry on being outraged though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that is what Thereisalight meant when he said "test games" Paco's link suggests otherwise, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitting out with shite like “Let’s remember, the global pandemic is accelerating. It is getting bigger. Every weekend the WHO say we have broken a new record for the number of infections and the number of deaths. This is not something to be trifled with,” It's bound to be a new record if we keep adding on to the previous totals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, though, how can you take someome who gets that wrong seriously? On a seperate note, the average number of daily cases here is roughly 5 times higher than in was in June, where we were testing, on average, 1,500 new people per day. We're now testing over 5 times that many, including targetted testing. Is the virus becoming more prevelant in Scotland, or did it just appear to be lower because we weren't really testing anyone? That's important, because the SG won a lot of praise for how well they had managed to suppress it by locking down longer, and they weren't slow to mention it each day. If it is just as prevelant now as 3 months ago, then the only important stats are hospitalisations and deaths.

If it is just as prevelant now as 3 months ago, then the only important stats are hospitalisations and deaths.That's very simple to track as they announce the daily new cases as a % of those tested. That is rising slowly but is nowhere near Spring numbers. Incidentally it now appears that given the huge numbers comparatively then using the limited testing stick that the real number infected back in April and May must have been MASSIVE yet antibody studies dont really bare that out which is a concern. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally it now appears that given the huge numbers comparatively then using the limited testing stick that the real number infected back in April and May must have been MASSIVE yet antibody studies dont really bare that out which is a concern. It was averaging 0.7% in late June when they were starting to high five themselves, and averaging 0.8% as of yesterday. It's even dropped from 1.1% a few weeks ago, which makes the sudden announcement of panic all the more strange. I think it is accepted that cases in March and April were understated by at least 10-20x - it's why the constant comparisons by some goons on social media to "pre lockdown numbers " are laughed at. T cell response seems a bigger factor in preventing infection than antibodies, though, so I wouldn't be worried about that. I'm not particularly worried anyway. I'm sure in the extremely unlikely event I catch it and die there will be all the jokes on here, but I won't see them anyway Edited September 4, 2020 by Todd_is_God 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Allowing crowds of upto 1000 into the games here when the league restarts, then from the start of October they are lifting that limit. Will be 1/3rd of the seating capacity allowed in. For quite a few teams that pretty much means normal numbers allowed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough for 10 Woodbine, 3 pints, cinema ticket, bag of chips and the bus home? I think it was a scale starting at £10 upwards. One magazine offered £10 for a 10 line program. Some of these wee ones I posted are 10 lines. They would have a couple of pages with these. The program I got published commercially I received a couple of hundred pounds then I never heard from them again. This program/game I was paid £50 but it covered three pages 16 hours ago, Melanius Mullarkey said: Many a happy day spent going round the BBC Micros is the shops typing similar in.
