I’ve read a few articles regarding the Rangers v Leverkusen game being the last sports event in Scotland held with fans. The Sunday of that week (15th) I went to the Emirates in Glasgow for the basketball final, nobody mentions that one

Probably because basketball is complete shite.

JL saying that if case numbers continue to rise we may need to re-think things.

Thats scary to be honest - with that mindset re cases, how will we ever get out of this?

People in high places obsession with case numbers needs to be binned. A year ago we were told lockdown/restrictions were so the NHS wasn’t “overwhelmed”. All that should matter now is death rates and ICU numbers. Not if a dozen clatty schoolkids and their maws have a wee cough

Case numbers may well need to be binned. However there is no doubt ours are rising now while the other nations are still falling.  Even Norden Oirlan has now overtaken us.

JL very hopefuly things will look better in the Autumn. I remember hearing things like that about Spring.

Just in time for respiratory virus season, fantastic!

Sarwar "testing and a robust isolation policy will be vital going forward if we want to return to any sort of reality"

If we keep isolation even after vaccination there will never be any sort of "normality"

People are not going to comply post-vaccination. There is clear evidence that this is already happening among auld biddies.

We could be about to enter a wash, rinse, repeat cycle. The more folk get vaccinated the more people start to bend the rules thus numbers of cases stop falling or even rise slightly. As number stop falling, the measures stay in place longer and the more people become disenfranchised and hence the more they bend the rules but all the time becoming more and more frustrated as measures can't / won't be lifted. That will be a nightmare scenario.

There's a direct correlation between case numbers and hospital numbers 2/3 weeks later. One goes up, so does the other. Early warning etc.

However, that was pre-vaccine. We're seeing hospital numbers drop at a rapid rate, ICU numbers also dropping, whilst the daily numbers show a slight rise for a few days. They'll settle back down again.

Nothing to see here really, positivity percentage remains low and we're about to ramp upto warp speed again on jagging.

Carry on.

If it plays out like this absolutely. I suppose a rise in cases is a good test for the prevention of hospitalization. Should prove to the powers that be that it's all a bit irrelevant.

There ye go, p and b masses. Your question about cases mattering has been asked and answered.

Quite amazing that a journalist didn't ask something that is blatantly obvious. The one who asked about whether they were making sure there were vaccines being kept back for second doses:blink:

Off to get my injection in a couple of hours. Spain not using the AstraZeneca on over 55s now means they are firing it into all of us who work in schools. 

Life has a certain normality about it here - still have to wear masks and no large gatherings but can go for pints, meals, etc until 11pm and schools have been in full time since September. 

Grim reading seeing some people using job titles as an insult, btw.
