Elixir Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 2 hours ago, Steven W said: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-57246914 I distinctly remember Sridhar tweeting a picture of a baseball match from Taiwan, with a full crowd, holding them up as the Covid Poster Boys and how we all should be following their example A bit like Thailand, Australia, etc, etc. It was always pure fantasy to think this could be kept out forever, and now these places will be in a considerably worse position than we are if they have to go through lockdowns for the next three or four months of southern hemisphere winter. This while struggling to get vaccines rolled out to populations which, until now at least, haven't felt any urgency to get vaccinated - and next to no immunity whatsoever in the general population. Mitigation, rather than supression, is the only realistic and pragmatic solution to dealing with an epidemic like this. Oh, and of course all of the above is why Sridhar has pivoted away from her original nonsense position. I wonder how long it will take others to follow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a route I’d want Scotland to go down tbh Shit like this will be binned off like in Israel and Denmark when it's clear the virus has faded into the background for good. For the time being, it's another nice wee earner for a few more of the Government's mates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnieman Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Not looking good, although the hospital numbers are holding which is the main thing. Put the cigars away for the time being. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a route I’d want Scotland to go down tbh You keep banging on about this but given normality with a proof of vaccination or continuing restrictions I suspect you will be pretty much out on a limb ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbigal Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Todays number is equivalent of Scotland nearly having well over 20% of UKs infections.

Have some faith in Magic Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) Jason you are talking absolute pish about variants We were locked down way before the Kent mutant Edited May 28, 2021 by Have some faith in Magic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 The Indian variant is apparently bow the dominant strain. Its not going anywhere. So with that in mind.... If not now, why not and when?Would be the only questions I would need an answer to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 From a "cases" point of view that's a big number but it can only be a good thing if it doesn't translate into hospitilations or deaths.Out of interest, why is the number so big? Are they doing a lot of targeted testing and just finding loads of cases? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Leitch saying 1st dose only gives 33% protection against Indian variant ???Is that right seems pretty poor given all the media talk has been vaccines work against all variants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 They've made a complete arse of this for Glasgow by using case numbers as their metric to keep it in tier 2. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
