Guest Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 6 minutes ago, GiGi said: Bunch of adults, at least one fully vaccinated, making their own risk assessment about masks on a near empty train carriage. Lock them up. The CDC put out a memo last week about masks being pointless for anyone vaccinated and their advice had changed to masks no longer being necessary. I'm sure someone would have posted it here but there was a piece in the FT about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you not phone the helpline. There is 100% an issue with blue envelopes in Ayrshire for 45-49. Been in the local media quite a bit but phone and they will give you an appointment straight away. As for location my wife is to go to a NA site rather than SA but probably equidistant to Ayr ones. Thanks again for the tip off, that's me sorted for the 27th May, I have to venture down to ARDRUSSAN but apart from that obvious downside I can't complain. I got through after about a 10 min wait and the guy on the helpline was really helpful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginaro Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 28 minutes ago, sparky88 said: Never mind the methodology. In march last year you had to be at deaths door with CoVID to get a COVID test. June onwards, you needed a cough. And now they are basically asking everyone to get a test twice a week. Without bearing this mind it's difficult to understand the chart of cases . Not sure what that's got to do with my post or the post I was reply to which was about comparing current hospital numbers to July...? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 2 hours ago, Detournement said: The Minister in charge of Vaccine Passport's wife using her billionaire owned newspaper column to promote the idea that restrictions are to be blamed on members of the public rather than the politicians who impose them is worthy of note. There has been a marked increase in hostile media towards people who choose not to be vaccinated in the past week. I'll be delighted if Denmark do stop using the Digital Passport but announcements have been continually made harsher throughout the crisis eg Two Week Circuit Breaker, vaccines originally only necessary for the vulnerable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 First time on a train in months, maybe for the whole of the pandemic. Wearing a mask on a train is vile. Its so hot. Also, just hear a lassie use the word literally about 7 times. Literally. No need for a single one of them. You get used to it when you travel regularly but yes can be unpleasant in non AC carriages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorge Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 First shot of Pfizer in the arm yesterday through work, hence didn't have to get the AZ. Sore arm aside, feel f**k all. Even though the end of the road isn't quite here, the sheer number of khunts now paying no attention to social distancing anywhere at all is deeply annoying. I fucking hate people. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Reports emerging that indian variant may look about 20% more transmissible and if the case then not expecting lockdown easing to be delayed I dont have a phd in statistics (but im sure theres a few here) but reading tweets linked into/out of this thread including Chris Smyth from the times suggesting that the 50% was their worst case scenario type thing and the media was running with it, typical? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 2 hours ago, Billy Jean King said: 2 hours ago, WATTOO said: Increased hospital numbers aren't necessarily a bad thing (so long as the people recover of course) if it transpires that the majority are unvaccinated and of the younger population then that would confirm that the vaccinations worked and that the risk to the general population and indeed the NHS is manageable. At that point we would have the required evidence that Covid could be managed and that we could learn to live with it, with little to no restrictions remaining so long as booster jags kept it at bay. The alternative is that we can NEVER return to normal, foreign travel will be forever shelved and the associated Economic fallout is unfathomable as is the adverse effect on the mental health of the nation. We were told in 2020 that "2021 would be different" but so far the rhetoric hasn't improved and going by the powers that be, 2022 and onward isn't suddenly going to be any better so unless we adjust our outlook to what is "acceptable" then the future looks pretty dire to be honest, so as I say, let's hope that the vaccines provide indisputable evidence that they stop Death and serious illness and our Governments all wake up to the fact that it's potentially the best that they can realistically hope for..... It's a dunt to the "all younger cohorts will only get a sniffle" train of thought though. Clearly not the case if such a relatively small outbreak in a localised area has lead to 8 in one day being serious enough to need hospital admission especially given this is about as soon after this outbreak began that you would expect to see hospital admissions. That said we need to know if they were admitted with Covid or because of Covid. 2 hours ago, Todd_is_God said: Not if they are fatties 2 hours ago, PWL said: As long as Glasgow, in particular, is in level 3 for no more than a week or two I'd go as far as say it's a positive. Sounds harsh but it might focus the minds of those who'd avoided a jag (for whatever reason) or younger folk who might have thought the crisis was over and needn't bother with one. Jags are the only way out of this. Not sure if Glasgow is the same as Bolton but the vast majority of hospitalisations from the Bolton outbreak were among older folk who’d refused the vaccine. Vast majority of the population is at low risk now, either through being vaccinated or being in a healthy cohort. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Logged on to the new vaccine status NHS website and can see my 2nd dose scheduled for 13 June so exactly 10 weeks after my first. Better system than a blue envelope especially for the younger supposedly more tech savvy age groups. Full force field ahead of my mid July annual leave. The (green list) world will hopefully be my oyster. Hopefully no reaction before a day of beer and Hampden for the Czech game on the day after mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deegee Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 2nd dose of lovely AZ flowing through my veins this afternoon. As per 1st visit, very efficient at Forth Valley College in Stirling. A pint or two of vitamin T might be diluting these same veins later. I was in Ireland with work yesterday and Glasgow Airport totally deserted upon my return this afternoon. Nowhere open on site for food or drink and only a handful of domestic flights going out in a day (with maybe one to Amsterdam I think too). Regardless of the rights and wrongs of restricting foreign travel, whether for business or pleasure, we risk running this industry and associated businesses out of the game forever if we don’t get moving soon. Aer Lingus have announced they’re closing their strategically important Shannon base with 130 job losses and how can other jobs survive if we have a repeat of the “holiday hokey-kokey” we seen last year with countries moving to red or green overnight then back again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
