Coronavirus (COVID-19)

[Thereisalight..]

Where did the 12k for Godley claim come from? Has it been been confirmed? Politicians keeping their pals right financially throughout this pandemic has certainly been a running theme

Where did the Godley 12k payment figure come from ?

The Scottish Government said Ms Godley was being paid £10,000 plus VAT for her work on a “multi-channel campaign” urging people to “stop the spike”.

Government should play it safe next time they need a comedian for campaign & hire Jerry Sadowitz.

It's always amazed me that he isn't more well known and famous. Genuinely hilarious.

I doubt that every Scottish hospital has an ICU though?

Anyway, Jane Godley was paid £12,000 for those adverts.

£12,000? f**k me the SNP descent into tory like nepotism has happened. This is an absolute disgrace. Why not get a nurse or staff member to do it for free?

So £10k not £12k.

The Tories have wasted billions and billions over Covid including making many friends/party supporters even richer and people are expressing faux outrage over£ 10k?  Fucking hell.

To be fair he’s pretty big in the right circles. Same as say Bill Hicks. Your average Janey Godley fan isn’t gonna have a fucking clue who they are, and that’s probably for the best.

Whatever way you want to spin this. £12K left an SG bank account for hers.

Whatabootery doesn't make it right you know.

Take it DRoss is the poster boy for WFH ?

[ICTChris]

It's astounding reading the pro-Godley accounts on Twitter.  People only dislike her because she is "pro LGBTQ" or because they are anti-vaxxers. 

What a country we have.

[UsedToGoToCentralPark]

I remember him saying that people always wrongly assumed he was Scottish when in fact he comes from a mixed background.
He said his mother was Scottish but his father was a one and a half litre bottle of diet coke.
I must admit to spraying my TV with juice when I heard that.

Good evening moose fuckers.

MUST........ DEFEND......SNP

[Billy Jean King]

That's because we locked down and restricted services way beyond the point where it was reasonable to do so and now the backlog has become a problem.
You want to be directing these sorts of questions at Nicola Sturgeon bud.

Exactly of course it is and hence it's all down to the Pandemic regardless of the numbers in hospital or how we got to this stage. To keep banging on that the NHS isn't under strain due to Covid and to try and back that up using the numbers in hospital is clearly nonsense as you have just confirmed.

Summary for @oaksoft  Yesterdays deaths 17,  ICU cases 82 (17 new),  In hospital with confirmed Covid 883 (125 new).   I will update these daily to report changes.  

Daily Cases Update: Up just over 1% as we crash through 800 cases per 100K.   Looks like we may start to fall tomorrow.  I even think we might be knocked of the top of the world by Mongolia tomorrow as they surge to 785 today up 54% on the week.  I think they do wear masks while ascending the Himalayas but may be all the discos at base camp.  On a serious note for a country of 3.34 million they have 19,400 people in hospital which is 40% of their current cases.  Must be in turmoil.

Balmalloch in North Lanarkshire is the place to dodge with a infectious rate of 2554 per 100K.  I suspect this translates as keep out of kilsyth.

Cases down again week on week. Test positivity down. It's over.

If you keep saying it you will eventually be right I suppose.

Cases and positivity down again. It's over, Simps, and it's almost like The Good Guys were telling you last week that cases were peaking.

There were less Covid deaths in August 2020 than August 2021.

Vaccines are definitely crushing it though and this is over....

This utter loonball still unable to comprehend that the virus is far more transmissable now compared to last year in a near fully open society. Or the fact that 'seasonality' isn't a factor when there is still a large, naive number of susceptible hosts.
