Perhaps they should feel like putting down the gallon tub of ice cream for the day and going for a fucking jog. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The group I work with are all wheelchair users suffering from pretty substantial, life altering injuries.

Arabdownunder Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 It only it linking 2 grounds to deaths, it's almost certainly bullshit but maybe Ibrox and Celtic Park burnt to the ground just to be in the safe side?FTFY 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I was on holiday in Great Yarmouth (at the same time The Queen was there) with my pals. We really knew how to live back then. I was moaning to a guy in a pub about my job and assured me he could get me a start as a janitor. I regret not taking that offer to this day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Just got this sent over to the work inbox. Who'd have thunk it, eh? Quote 12 Mar 2021 Covid-19 vaccine linked to a reduction in transmission Vaccination of Scotland’s healthcare workers offers some protection against transmission of Covid-19 to their household contacts. A study of all healthcare workers employed by the NHS in Scotland and their households, shows that the rate of infection with Covid-19 for people that live with healthcare workers is at least 30% lower when the worker has been vaccinated mostly with a single dose. Since household members of healthcare workers can also be infected via other people (not just via the healthcare worker they live with), this 30% relative risk reduction is an underestimate of the ‘true’ effect of vaccination on transmission. Research led by Public Health Scotland and the University of Glasgow (with contributions from researchers at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Glasgow Caledonian University, the University of Edinburgh, and the University of Strathclyde) involved over 300,000 people in total and ran between 8 December 2020 and 3 March 2021. The study, using record linkage, compared cases of Covid-19 and hospitalisations due to Covid-19 in household members of both vaccinated, and unvaccinated health care workers. Where healthcare workers had received a second dose of the vaccine at least 14 days before, their household members had a rate of Covid-19 which was at least 54% lower than household members where healthcare workers had not been vaccinated. While the study was not designed to examine the uptake of vaccination among healthcare workers, current work does suggest that at least some patient facing healthcare workers, particularly younger staff and those not in high exposure roles, may not have been vaccinated yet. We hope that these findings would give them extra encouragement to be vaccinated, as it suggests that the vaccine offers protection not only to themselves but also to their close contacts. Any patient-facing healthcare worker who has not yet been vaccinated should contact their local health board. Public Health Scotland will be publishing more definitive results on vaccination uptake in patient-facing healthcare workers on our daily dashboard later today (Friday 12 March). Dr Diane Stockton, PHS Lead for COVID-19 Vaccination Surveillance Programme, said: “The results from this study as part of our vaccine effectiveness work, are very encouraging because it suggests that the vaccine helps prevent people from passing on the virus to others - something that has been suspected but hasn't previously been shown. “Despite this good news, it is important to remember that infection prevention and control practices in healthcare settings remain of paramount importance, as do the mitigations to prevent spread in our daily lives. The risk of transmission did not go down to zero after the healthcare worker was vaccinated. “As Scotland continues to deliver its national Covid-19 vaccination programme, this study does give one more reason why everyone invited to have a vaccine should take up the offer, as not only will it help protect them from COVID-19, but it will help protect the people close to them.” Dr David McAllister, University of Glasgow said: “Our study has important implications for informing vaccination strategies. The JCVI in the United Kingdom recently commented on the lack of real-world evidence evaluating the role of vaccination programmes on transmission. “We provide the first direct evidence that vaccinating individuals working in high-exposure settings reduces the risk to their close contacts – members of their households. Our work will also be of interest to modellers, as it can be used to inform their predictions about future rates of COVID-19 in the community.” 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildrover Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I wonder what questions we will get today from the journalists, will any of them care to ask why 50 folk indoors is ok for churches but we can only meet 4 folk outdoors (where it is much much safer), I'm not a fan of the tier system to me the only figure that matters is hospital admissions, if the NHS is not "overwhelmed" and over 50's and vulnerable are vaccinated at least with one dose that should be that, I fear that the SG will have us in restrictions from area to area until August, there has to be some perspective and positivity that the vaccine is the silver bullet and kicking arse, worrying about what might happen, variants is pure pants wetting stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Bully Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 One the one hand, slagging someone for being a janitor is shite behaviour. On the other hand, white knighting virginton is shite behaviour. Can we not all just get along? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's play bingo: How worried are you about the Antigua variant. Might this delay the exit from lockdown? How satisfied are you with Rangers response? Are you concerned about cases increasing with schools going back? Might this push back the plan for more pupils to return? Welsh barbers are opening on Monday. Why aren't ours? No real investigative questions will be asked. Edited March 12, 2021 by Todd_is_God 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise you had to be a good guy to be a socialist, in my UOL experience there are knobs of all hues and persuasions, it's just that those of a wimpier nature seem to have found their voice amongst the anonymity of social media. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
