Bairnardo Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Is no one who is predicting the impending implosion of England taking into account that the third wave in Scotland peaked all by itself having happened pretty much through a period of loosening? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Is no one who is predicting the impending implosion of England taking into account that the third wave in Scotland peaked all by itself having happened pretty much through a period of loosening?It’s going to be interesting to see what happens. We’ve had a steady decline in cases leading up to tomorrow’s level 0 whereas England seem to be going a bit wild. I can’t see it being too bad down south, but I think their peak is a few weeks off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean you have to imagine, other than bigger numbers for headlines, its all going to be roughly proportional to whats happening up here. Potentially it could be better down there, given allegedly higher immunity levels and a long spell of good weather getting folk outdoors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steady, I'm expecting another spike any day now. 3 times the ball entered the stands at EEP on Saturday and it was given straight back to the goalkeeper without going via the Covid neutralising ball boys, as laid out in the SPFL rules. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An extra three weeks of school for starters coupled with the Euros run has undoubtedly increased the cases in the meantime. Whether "Freedom Day" leads to the cases not declining like they did in Scotland awaits to be seen. At any rate, the peak for cases in England is at least 10-14 days away and then more of the same for hospitalisations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SANTAN Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 1 hour ago, WhiteLight said: I still find it amazing that many are taking the government bait and getting at one another’s throats. Boris does yet another u turn on his own isolation in just over two hours after he tries to dodge doing so. He has become the knee jerker in chief. Not a good trait for a leader. Westminster do appear to fly in the face of science if you believe these so called experts, with freedom day under heavy public pressure for it not to happen. Whilst in Scotland Sturgeon gets flack for being cautious. There are no winners in this and only the general public will pay the price as ever. Stats are now telling us that the over 80s now only account for 40% of deaths, down two thirds from the worst of it. The masking debate continues with both sides wanting to kill each other. What we do know from masks that those in the east where it is a cultural norm have far less mortality rates and fir me the result is the result despite the speculation to the contrary. From the the red tops I do not read one bit of good news with the virus. All gloom and doom. What we cant argue with is that cases are going up in England with forecasts of worse to come. The right and wrong in any of it and to what the future holds remains speculative as the debate has just become a nonsense between the hypocrisy, double standards and u turns and sides defended with illogical reasoning. One could say unity of purpose has left the building, if it were ever in the building in the first place. It is clear the pandemic has been weaponised politically and clear division within the political and scientific communities . This in turn has polarised public opinion and a populous divided and split right down the middle. Reasonable people have become unreasonable in defending their corner with little foundation. Whataboutery and pissing contests become the norm. In the lifecycle of this novel virus we remain very much at the beginning with more twists and turns along the way. What will be will be, just worse in being led by idiots. Better we prepare fir a marathon and not a sprint and not put all the eggs in one basket. Let the leaders take the strain whilst we all get on living without all the distractions from the political circus.. Lmao. "Being cautious" is one way of putting it, if you're part of a cult that is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may well be correct, as I said I wasn’t sure what to make of the article, but was it not the case that CC lost the case against Aaron Banks and may well have to pay compo. She repeatedly asserted that his money came from Russia which was proved wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see the gibbering idiot had time to red dot the post, but not enough time to answer it. I think we all know the poor girl he was defending to the hilt had made an utter arse of it, and he can’t bring himself to acknowledge it. Poor lad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there evidence to show that having had Covid gives complete immunity? We know people who are fully vaccinated are not 100% immune. Surely it’s in everyone’s best interest to get vaccinated even if they’ve had Covid. There’s complete agreement on this thread that we want things back to normal ASAP, getting every adult vaccinated is a huge step towards that. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to want an argument. I think every adult should get vaccinated unless they have genuine cause not to. I’m assuming you agree with that. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they should - not every adult will get vaccinated though and those not wishing to should not be a contributory factor to reopening. Go back and read what I have said vs what you have implied I have said and you'll maybe understand why I am disagreeing with you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
