craigkillie Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 50 deaths fuck me.In terms of the deaths number, we do have to once more be aware of the definition of covid deaths here.Even if covid had completely stopped killing anyone (which I'm aware isn't the case), with the sheer volume of cases in the last 28 days, surely by far the biggest of any 28 day period in the entire pandemic, there are bound to be some deaths in that group for other reasons.The total number of cases in that period must be over 100,000 people unless I've fucked my calculations. That's 2% of Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take Florida because that’s where I do most of my travel, on average (and yes there are exceptions), im about £150-250 pp cheaper. Its less hassle now, but the damage has kinda already been done in terms of Scottish airports. They provide a decent service, not sure how much of that they’ve absorbed from the hotel owners? Ive looked at the flight price aspect of their packages etc and they remain the best value for money in european travel terms. First time booked a package in 20+ years but I was impressed with the service provided, just maybe not at next year's price which was not being shared with the owners of the apartments much to his displeasure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A plus, however, is that you no longer need a visa to holiday in Turkey. I think it was around £20 in 2019. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbigal Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Home Nations Daily Cases per 100K update : UK Average 302.0 to 312.6 up 3.51%, England 264.8 to 277.1 up 4.65%, Wales 567.1 to 589.3 up 3.91%, Northern Ireland 431.2 to 432.0 up 0.19% Scotland 440.0 Down 3.87% Cases high at 35,623 England clearly now in wave 4 Wales number 2 in the world and knocking close at top spot. Deaths: 180 England 120, Scotland 50, Wales 2, Northern Ireland 8 Our proportion being far higher than it should clearly shows we are I would say 4 weeks ahead of the rest of the UK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Does anyone know if the UKG have confirmed a date for the change in day 2 test from PCR to LFT. Looks like the fit to fly LFT goes from 4 October but can't see any date for the end of day 2 PCRs ? The SG statement today suggests it's yet to be confirmed but given the furore when it was "announced" I assumed it had a definitive date. I can't see one anywhere and with school holidays imminent for many it will be important. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see one anywhere and with school holidays imminent for many it will be important. London say they want it ready for the English October break, whenever that is. No set date yet, though it won't make a whole lot of difference unless they get the price of LFTs right down. You can get a PCR test for £40-50 and LFTs are usually around £30, and it's exactly the same procedure. Don't know why, because in Portugal they only swab the nostrils but here it's the full tonsil gagging experience like PCRs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I don't check every non-controversial tweet that appears on my Twitter feed. Especially because it has also been liked by someone like Alasdair Munro, one of the best and most rational voices on Covid in the UK. Clearly he also has no idea who 'Peter Sweden' is/was. Guess that will be him labelled a far-right sympathiser now! Jason Leitch better unfollow him and tell Sturgeon not to cite his research anymore! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereisalight.. Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Dont know if anyone has been following the hysteria over the 3 unvaccinated Strictly come dancing professionals (and to a lesser extent the 2/3 of EFL players unvaccinated). Some of the takes from the public are wild to say the least. It's disgusting how covid has made everyone need/want to know about others vaccine status. Personally I couldnt care less who's been dunted or not. It certainly wouldnt change my opinion of someone. If you're double vaccinated then you shouldn't be worried about who's standing beside you sans vaccine. Just my opinion but I hate the way the public have acted over a fcking vaccine and the superiority some feel over being double dosed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
