I appreciate that the newspaper will have to edit quotes down etc, but I am gone at this part: Quote “I don’t know if it’s the social distancing or the mask wearing that’s done it [in reducing flu rates], but I think we should at least be having those conversations,” Prof Pagel added. We'll just ignore the government shutting down the fucking economy and banning people from visiting their family and friends then, shall we?

She is a fake SAGE lunatic. Funny as f**k. Edit: the lack of influenza observed over the past year is actually quite concerning for a lot scientists regarding a future resurgence. The same people who are terrified of Covid and make flu seem largely insignificant might get a bit if a shock.

That should be known already from the autumn opening which had strict rules in place Churches followed the track and trace procedures , at Kinnoull in Perth not only was it a requirement to book in no later than 6pm the day before any service up to Christmas Eve, but then a track and trace register had to be kept for 14 days after the service . People obviously had to sit socially distant in an allocated space and for some reason the Church of Scotland instead that all seat covers be removed, there was no singing and at the end of the service it followed the same rule as the football grounds with the test events in that people had to leave row by row from the back with an interval between each row to ensure no one could meet outside the church building for a chat. I imagine on return its going to be exactly the same, the building limited to 50 people in total possibly less and all procedures followed. I however fully agree that this return should have been scheduled at same time as other indoor pursuits of a similar setting such as the cinema. I assume they have just looked at Easter Sunday and decided to start then and I fully get the backlash by most on here to that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realmadrid Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 7 hours ago, Jambomo said: I wonder if the early-ish church reopening has anything to do with getting some religious groups vaccinated? I remember at one of the briefings Johnson held, they said that they were working with religious leaders and other groups to get people in their communities vaccinated where there was some vaccine hesitancy. I think part of the plan was vaccinating at the place of worship. I would think that might be the case in some of the other faith groups in Scotland But its clear they have picked Easter Sunday as the opening date , which will not be the group they are trying to target with that reasoning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point about the date being 3 days after the Scotland game may be valid. Its been pointed out that some of the restrictions at Easter in England with regard to holidays have been timed to be lifted the day the schools return so it looks like an early date but its actually a date no one can then use. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Quote Posted at 14:03 Vaccine 'likely' to protect against all variants - Pfizer boss The chief scientific officer of viral vaccines at Pfizer says it is likely the company's vaccine protects against all variants of Covid-19 seen to date. Dr Philip Dormitzer tells the science and technology committee that in real world data from the UK and Israel "we are seeing protection against the UK variant that is equivalent to the protection we saw in controlled trials before that variant was circulating". He says there is some "reduction in the level of neutralisation" for the South African variant in laboratory tests but says it is not as low as the level at which people were protected under lab conditions and says the data is "quite reassuring". On the UK's decision to leave a gap between the first and second dose of the jab he says the data is only just starting to come in so there is not a robust picture. As the manufacturer, Dormitzer says, Pfizer can only recommend using the vaccine as it is authorised but he says other groups have more latitude to make their own recommendations.

Boris Johnson - a man with a track record of lying to everyone, including the electorate, throughout his entire political career, has told folk this is what to expect. Or rather - sorry - has carefully cherry-picked his words to allow people to believe this is what to expect. There's absolutely no way the reaction to Sturgeon was going to be even slightly positive unless she'd come out and announced the pubs and clubs were open this coming weekend and everyone had VIP passes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
