Our prevalence and death rates are significantly better than our nearest neighbours, and on that chart, cases per 100,000 are amongst the best in Europe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean this in a critical way, but we were near the top of the list in the Spring, which could also have a major impact. Data like this strengthens the view that the virus will run it's course regardless of what restrictions are in place, and that the tighter those restrictions are, the longer it will take do so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipperyP Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Just read this and was a little shocked. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-55079030 I can't get my head round it, people/patients emergency and admissions have been freely placed in hospital and they have no test? Can someone please explain this to me. This should have been getting done as soon as the pandemic started. It did here. Also, can anyone provide stats for flu cases this year? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Questions are being raised just now by scientists towards SAGE and what makes them think that there will be a reduced risk during this time. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/nov/25/scientists-ask-to-see-evidence-behind-relaxing-uks-christmas-covid-rules Is this a cease fire and will there be a football match played in no mans land and if so will there be any fans to watch it? I suspect there is no scientific evidence to support it. Purely a political decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
