Frankie S Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Gutted for colleagues in the hospitality trade in Glasgow that they're going to be kept in Tier 3, given only a couple of days notice before reopening on Monday, after ordering stock, recruiting staff and taking existing staff off furlough, taking bookings, investing (once again) in Covid mitigations, and gearing up for the long-awaited re-opening of indoor hospitality. Given all vulnerable cohorts 1-9 have had their first dose, a large proportion of whom have now had their second, and 2/3 of the adult population have now had a Covid jag, and that severe disease, hospitalisations and deaths have been practically eliminated by the vaccines, it's disappointing but not entirely surprising to see that case incidence is clearly going to continue to determine tiering levels in Scotland rather than hospitalisation / mortality stats, and that we're not actually all coming out of this together. Oh, that and the never-ending "new variants" scaremongering. I assume the Scottish government are going to bring back Strategic Framework support grants for businesses that are ordered to close (or have had their trade significantly impaired by) government restrictions, and not just lob a token derisory amount of money to Creative Scotland to dish out to the usual suspects in a "highly competitive" application process as they've done with the arts sector. So much for the recklessly optimistic thought that this will be the last lockdown.... 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 Charts from Whitty showing that the increases in cases in Bolton and Blackburn are being driven by under 60s, who are less vaccinated. Government to respond by upping vaccine centre opening hours and speeding up vaccines in those areas. Given the high level of vaccine coverage I’d guess this sort of measure can be taken without endangering the rest of the rollout. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF the variant is SIGNIFICANTLY more transmissible.... It wont be. He is a politician buying wiggle room which is as surprising as the tide or the sunset. It wont be more transmissible, hospitals numbers wont rise. He will change nothing. They have been briefing to journalists this week that June 21st is in danger. It's not hard to tell what way the wind is blowing. Edited May 14, 2021 by Detournement -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monthelie' Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 1 hour ago, superbigal said: Highly predictable. Watch East Renfrew join the party if their numbers continue to rise over the weekend. That's just fucking typical. Case numbers low for weeks, then increase as soon as we're due to drop to level 2. Numbers will definitely go up on Monday when people in Glasgow walk the 2 minutes to east ren for a pint indoors. All this with despite the low hospital numbers. Are the euros cancelled in Glasgow too? Might be now the elections won. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Ferrino Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Has Bozo referred to the new variant as "Turban wearing" or "Curry stained" yet? He must have asked himself what would Winston have said. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No delay to the rest of the rollout according to Whitty. it was alleged there is a stockpile of 10m doses in the UK. Get them into arms FFS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

effeffsee_the2nd Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) proper heads gone from detournement now like Never the less I think sturgeon has proper shat the bed here. she really needed to asses things and say level 2 will go ahead as planned. the rules regarding personal behaviour won't be adhered to by the majority and businesses will suffer needlessly .

Bairnardo Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I said before, I hoped this press conference was to set the shreiking media straight. Thats what it was.

Billy Jean King Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I see doubt being cast on COP26 in NOVEMBER now.

flyingscot Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Surely the priority has to be vaccinations in Glasgow and then going by other high areas of cases given priority 1-9 have been done.

sparky88 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I'd be pretty angry if I had stumped up 2 grand to stay in one of those quarantine hotel rooms for 2 weeks when the Indian Variant is running amok. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too simple a solution for the numbskulls organising things. 20 mins travel for both sets of fans. Free bridies.
