Because fomite transmission not being a thing has had absolutely no coverage whatsoever. Again, perhaps it's to try and retain good practices, but it shouldn't be driving policy, and to some extent, it must be. There must surely come a time, though, where the obsession with the need to disinfect multi person touch points almost after each use needs to end? There is a difference between good hygiene practices and Sheldon Cooper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be pretty irresponsible to base that decision on other countries imo anyway. And whether imo or not, I don't think there's (m)any(?) govts who would make that decision based on what's happening elsewhere. Why would it be 'irresponsible' to base the end of a lockdown that is being driven by vaccination on the already established facts about how vaccination is smashing the epidemic? What other basis should the government use for its roadmap and to allow businesses time to prepare and adjust? If your answer involves 'the models' that Neil Ferguson and the gang churn out and have been proven wrong every single time then please just auto-file it in the bin where it belongs. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not zero covid, just variants itself into irrelevance. "Experts confused by disappearance of Covid-19" headlines everywhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only flip side is another fall in positivity towards the magic 5% marker. Those at the top of the table do not hold that profile unfortunately. Inverclyde the most deprived area in Scotland showing up many more affluent council areas down at 55.3 cases per 100K with only 2.7% positivity. Falkirk (Excepting prison outbreaks) topping the charts with no excuses bar manky workforces. West Lothian & East Ayrshire may well leave Falkirk adrift when their grotty Screws and Lags fall of the charts. Looking at the large gap from Stirling you would expect the top 8 not to get any concessions bar Schools on Tuesday. In fact the next 5 councils are also all still over 100 cases per 100K. I wonder if they will use this as some sort of marker this time around. All areas under 100 are also well under the 5% marker. If the good people up the North East coast from Dundee northwards (All 52.5 or lower cases per 100K) do not get some outdoor concessions then who will ?

Todd_is_God Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) What is the point of a levels system, based primarily on cases, if cases nationally are rising whilst in lockdown? Either cases is the wrong metric, or lockdowns are completely ineffective. Ease lockdowns based on local area population vaccination percentages.

Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Hearing that the QEUH in Glasgow has closed one of the covid icu wards due to lack of demand, now down to 2.

You think we should end restrictions based on data from israel who are using different vaccines and a different dosing regimen? Fair enough, but I don't think you're going to get what you want. Best we're getting is to open up based on the data we gather from our vaccinations and what happens in our hospitals and icus over the next few months. Unsure what Ferguson has to do with any of this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not to say that our approach isn't sensible, but it's yet another variable that means our govt won't be happy using the Israeli data to manage our lockdown.
