Distant Doonhamer Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 There’s been a whole load of awful decisions during this but folk criticising Scot Gov for blindly following case numbers in isolation but now criticising for the inconsistency of not following just the numbers in East Renfrewshire seems a tad unfair to me. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingscot Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 19 minutes ago, craigkillie said: This is true, but any measure which involves a division by a small denominator (in this case population) is susceptible to large fluctuations being driven by very small changes in the underlying numbers (or even random noise). The population of East Renfrewshire is under 100,000, so every single individual case leads to the rate increasing by more than 1. This means that a very small number of cases, localised to a single area (eg an outbreak of 20 cases in a school) can lead to a massive increase in the case rate. That isn't true of the larger areas. It's also the problem with using council areas like East Renfrewshire which is pretty much a gerrymandered area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be back slapping and sharing that around all day via zoom. Watching England open up but aye at least we call a variant something slightly more PC.

Thereisalight.. Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 So it's ok to call it the Kent variant but not the Indian variant? What a fcking country 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elric Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 It was like the Yer Having A Laugh Show with the Three Stooges today. Covid bingo very much to the forefront and the highlights included: Reason to belive To be a bit more confident the vaccine will prevail Hospital numbers down Travel restrictions hopefully temporary A much greater degree of normality We still have to protect the NHS We need greater confidence in the jag Watched up until the first couple of questions and then turned it off in disgust. Is she being Fucking serious here. This really and truly cannot continue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given Trump has recently been slapped over calling COVID-19 the Chinese virus there will be a lot of body swerving and avoidance of being labelled racist by the yellow and green haired middle class radical left. April 02 just doesn't have the menace and ring to it, it just sounds like a type of flower, maybe call it the Indomidous variant or Variantzilla or something. Probably quite upsetting for anyone called April. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiGi Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Why was it just the Kent variant and not the British variant or the English variant? None of the other ones were so localised. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
