This was another example of how the Tories, their scientific advisors and think tanks are so detached from reality.

A Scots mum has been warned she is on the Police's Covid "alert list' after a neighbour reported her for having family 'nipping in' to her house to deliver birthday gifts for her daughter. Ayrshire mum Leanne Macdonald, 36, celebrated her 10-year-old daughter, Myla's birthday yesterday, but due to coronavirus restrictions decided to just stay at home in Irvine with partner Gary, 37 and the couple's youngest daughter Rylee, two. Leanne says her parents, grandparents and aunt and uncle 'popped over' separately just to briefly hand in gifts for Myla. But the mum-of-two says the birthday celebrations were ruined when two uniformed police officers turned up saying she had been reported by an anonymous neighbour for breaking Nicola Sturgeon 's strict Covid-19 rules.

This is the example graph from Vallance and Whitty's briefing with the actual numbers since then overlaid. Obviously there could be reporting lags and a million other things. But potentially encouraging news. The 'example graph' was a simple extrapolation of the trend at that time: even a chief clownshoe like Whitty specifically said that it wasn't to be interpreted as an actual projection of future cases. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest_Fifer Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Despite not locking down, Sweden is currently on track to finish 2020 with ZERO excess deaths. We messed up by locking down. Let’s stop doubling down on it and remove all restrictions immediately Just on the 1% chance that you're not fucking at it again...Citation. Fucking.

Forest_Fifer Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 My missus and me were out at the pub on Saturday night with another couple. We went out an hour earlier than usual, gave false names and phone numbers for track and trace and then we all came back to our for a few more drinks. Had the pubs shut at the usual time we’d have just gone back to our own houses. My daughter and 4 pals all went round to a friend’s house rather than going out to pub specifically because of the 10pm closing time. There is no doubt that the 10pm curfew is ludicrous.

New law to fine pubs £1,000 for 'allowing dancing' or playing music at 86 decibels That headline reminded me of an old joke: Why are Wee Frees against sex?

ICTChris Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 There is now growing talk, hinted at by the FM last week, that there will be a one or two week lockdown at some point in October to try and stem the cases. Details obviously aren’t decided but it would involve all pubs, restaurants and non-essential shops closing, working from non enforced, strict social distancing enforcement etc.In the article I read, schools would stay open. While this may be questionable from a public health standpoint, in terms of terms of the development and progress of this thread and the heads gone, I’m all for it. Priorities. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
