Saw a clip of some women who'd travelled from somewhere like Devon and were asked why they wanted to take part in it.

"To be around other sane people that know mask are just bollocks, and this is genocide and you can't stay quiet about that so you have to join with other people that know what the hell's going on." 

"It just to stand up for the children." 

Whit?

Q-Anon shit merging with the anti-lockdown protestors explains the last quote there (in as much as anything can explain these people).

Given maybe a decent chunk of folks in the test figures are from track and trace fair enough, but 1.3% of people testing positive? Are these just really concerned people jumping round for a test? Ive learned having several members of family and friends in the NHS that we have quite a hypochondriac society but for the non test and trace folks in these figures im wondering if people are going for a test or something to get out the house? I get that people who go into hospitals are tested and track and trace, but where do the others come from? Does it include the lateral flow tests for nhs staff etc? 
Either way 1.3% positivity shows we are on the way. 

The regular testing using lateral flow tests are not included in the figures in Scotland. At least some are logged on NHS testing site, but it'd only be follow up PCR tests that are included in the figures. I'm not even sure that the regular staff testing using PCR tests (like in hospitals, care homes etc) are included in the daily figures, anyone know for definite?

Does that mean you're not really JacksGranda or am I missing something?

Not only am I Jack's granda, but I'm also granda to his 4 sisters and 11 cousins. And great granda to his cousin's wee boy.

Ah.  So Jacksgranda is just an abbreviation to your real official title.  Fair enough.

Aye, well offer it to me, then, and I'll get it! 

Not sure if maybe I'm delusional or sheltered, but I don't know anyone in my age group vehemently opposed to vaccination or that has indicated they won't be getting vaccinated.

I came back to the house today to see one of the neighbours on our street having a 21st birthday party which involved dozens of folk, a DJ and fireworks. And fair play to them.

In Glasgow do you not get a telegram from the Queen on your 21st birthday?

I know one idiot who’s under 30 refusing it as she doesn’t know what’s in it.

She’s no problem selling juice plus though to everyone who she can have a conversation with.

Bill Gates now declaring that countries vaccinating under 50’s are basically c***s and should be sending all vaccines to India.  He never specifically mentioned Israel though.  Not the done thing to criticise Israel in the US.  Maybe he could have helped the situation more by not fighting to keep IP rights for big pharma and allowing billions more doses to be produced if he’s so concerned about the pandemic.

Devi also on the news implying we’re wasting loads of doses and we should be getting those to India instead.  How many does she think we’re wasting?

Another misleading fact trotted out that we have enough doses to vaccinate the country 4 times over.  Big difference between ordered and have but don’t let that get in the way of an agenda.

I know a few.    They have been badly failed by the education system and conspiracy Facebook posts have filled the gap.  This advert won’t fix that.    I don’t even really know how to argue against them.   Explaining the science doesn’t do it as their base knowledge is so low.  Explaining statistics does nothing as they think 30 is a significant number.   They completely fail to understand basic concepts that everyone should have comfortably understood before leaving high school.
