Yep, agree, but those people are most likely to be the ones spreading the virus and making life harder for everyone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that would require Clownshoes Leitch to avoid seizing a spotlight and trying to ingratiate himself to the guid fitba men (see also his toe-curling run on Off the Ball). He's an utter gobshite. I've thankful avoided the run of Off the Ball, I'm not sure Tam understands how cutlery works so trying to explain a global pandemic to him and presumably take questions off him requires a level of patience (and stupidity) that I don't have. 19 minutes ago, Marshmallo said: I meant "allowed to walk down the street without being questioned" but can see how my post could be misconstrued, so I'll edit it. I'm sure he would welcome that but all I can presume is elected officials have said no. Using the word "guys" did make it sound friendly and a done deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Breaking the law" Interesting Cant have phones in my work anyway so the app is irrelevant, but ever since test and protect became a thing, my work have made veiled comments about naming co workers as contacts. I imagine this sort of behaviour is absolutely widespread, just as arsehole employers will be a huge part of why people refuse to isolate or dont do so for the full 14 days. This is mental behaviour, can you imagine the financial and reputational hit a company would take if it came out that they had an outbreak because they told folk not to identify colleagues. The fines for doing so should be enormous unless National Security is involved then of course it's justified. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not this utter bullshit again. In reality the overwhelming majority of people in their 20s and 30s don't even know that they've got/had the virus: such is the complete non-event that it is to their health. That's one of the reasons why it is difficult to contain: if healthy people were getting floored with full Ebola symptoms then you'd know all about having the Covid. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwullie Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 8 minutes ago, Chairman Mao said: Below is a chart showing covid hospital admissions in Bradford. It’s typical of all hospitals in the U.K. so I’ll just put this one up. It highlights the vast majority of hospital admissions with covid are not actually admitted because of covid. They are admitted with something else and acquire covid once they are in hospital. The vast majority of people who died *with* covid acquired it in hospital or care homes. They didn’t acquire it in the community..... or in a pub. Its a nosocomial epidemic That's not what it shows. It shows that they had a positive test after being in hospital for x days. That's all. Not that they acquired it in hospital, but that their first positive test was recorded after being admitted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be demanding to go to work. And those low paid workers that *have* to go to work more than anything want more potential carriers around them to increase their risk of catching the disease. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 It is an odd statistic but the average age of a covid related death in Scotland is higher than the average life expectancy.It’s almost like some of us have been saying since the start that covid doesn’t really kill ordinary functioning members of society and only takes people who are basically on their death bed anyway and pushes them over the edge. That’s why it’s such a disgrace that society has been mothballed for such a relatively minor virus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you were trumpeting about false positives and negatives? I'm sure you grasp the concept of incubation. My M-i-L was admitted with suspected covid. Her positive test didn't come back till day 3 is your graph when the test came back positive or when the patient was swabbed?

D.A.F.C Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 And killing and destroying the health and livelihoods of millions of people around the world does nothing to help them. Living with long term problems caused by *any* respiratory disease is a thing. But destroying the world does not solve it. Millions of people destroy their health with fast food, drink and drugs every weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szamo's_Ammo Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Has it been decided if Covid is a 'seasonal infection'? The weather in Scotland was mild at the end of August and in September when cases began and continued to surge. Didn't Hippocrates say something about medicine and the seasons? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 There's also people who have had their lives turned upsides down by the loss of a loved one, this never or rarely appears to be taken into consideration. Bereavement happens to all of us, and it’s horrible. I lost my grandad because of the lockdown (Not covid, but he had Alzheimer’s and was in a home and faded quickly due to the isolation). It happens to all of us though. If you don’t lose a grandparent to covid, cancer gets them next year or heart failure the year after. It should not be used as a basis for policy decisions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
