Coronavirus (COVID-19)

[mizfit]

I see the "Covid Enforcers" announced by the Clown at WM yesterday have to be funded by local authorities and will have no power of enforcement. He really is an utter charlatan. Terrible idea in the first place but you have to fear for the safety of anyone mad enough to contemplate doing that job.

It’ll be all the jumped up little c***s who failed to get into the police.

In order to stop all community transmission you would need to stop any gatherings outwith your household, and stop travel to and from different parts of the country, as well as in and out.
That's not happening, so it's not even close to an elimination strategy.

That’s my point. The SG may say they’re pursuing elimination, but that’s not the case in practice.

I believe they prefer to be called Traffic Wardens

Let's say you are right. Why not just be honest? Adult conversation etc.

Without powers they will be on a hiding to nothing, probably literally.

Switched on the TV to see Janey Godley screeching and ranting on STV about having to cancel her upcoming gigs.

This Covid isn't all bad.

This is now a pro-Covid account.

Where in the lancet quote does it say elimination means to stop all community transmission?

My bad. Elimination definitely allows for some community transmission, just as long as it occurs in acceptable settings.

Which is pretty much what the current strategy is trying to achieve. It’s been about elimination up here for quite a while. Not eradication.

A lot of people seem to be jumping on the moaning and complaining about Covid bandwagon. Maybe we should give it a chance.

Except elimination doesn't allow for some community transmission to be maintained in any setting.

It quite literally means getting to zero community transmission.

Nothing the SG have announced today is in any way surprising or outrageous, it is in fact exactly what any rational person would have expected, given the current situation with the virus here and how it's behaving throughout Europe.

Irrespective of what owners of soft play businesses or failed comedians with Unionist views think, it's all sensible decisions which are being made and exactly in line with the strategies being employed by virtually every Government throughout the World.

In a nutshell, if mistakes are being made then every nation across the globe and all their scientific and medical advisers are making the same mistakes but again I'd be more inclined to trust their insight as opposed to some internet no marks with a political agenda.

So we should all stop discussing/having views on the biggest crisis of our lifetimes? (Except Sergeant Wilson, auld c**t was at the Somme)

Just so we're all talking the same language.

Quote

• Control: The reduction of disease incidence, prevalence, morbidity or mortality to a locally acceptable level as a result of deliberate efforts; continued intervention measures are required to maintain the reduction. Example: diarrhoeal diseases.
• Elimination of disease: Reduction to zero of the incidence of a specified disease in a defined geographical area as a result of deliberate efforts; continued intervention measures are required. Example: neonatal tetanus.
• Elimination of infections: Reduction to zero of the incidence of infection caused by a specific agent in a defined geographical area as a result of deliberate efforts; continued measures to prevent re-establishment of transmission are required. Example: measles, poliomyelitis.
• Eradication: Permanent reduction to zero of the worldwide incidence of infection caused by a specific agent as a result of deliberate efforts; intervention measures are no longer needed. Example: smallpox.
• Extinction: The specific infectious agent no longer exists in nature or in the laboratory. Example: none.

If the failed comedian is Janey Godley then she's a rabid nat. She's out there doing unpaid cheerleading for Sturgeon every day.

Half a million downloads of the protect Scotland app. Cracking effort hopefully once it's working it will let things get back to some kind of normality by identifying clusters early and breaking chains of infection
