Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Genuine question, before this, did you test asymptomatic patients for flu?

We did test most folk coming in with respiratory type symptoms during flu season. There was a wee machine they basically spat into a wee sample tube and it told you whether they had Flu A, Flu B or something else like RSV. 
 

We didn’t routinely test for asymptomatic flu patients, I don’t think, (I know some places do as its a fairly quick, simple and accurate test) however:

A. Being asymptomatic with flu is rarer than being asymptomatic with Covid, probably due to lower uptake on flu vaccines. 

B. Asymptomatic folk with Covid are almost as infectious if not as infectious as symptomatic punters. Asymptomatic folk with Flu are significantly less infectious.

Looks like shutting down large parts of the NHS for months is starting to bite. Who could have saw this coming...

This man is perhaps the thickest journalist alive, so I'd be waiting on literally anyone else to confirm this. He's the one that claimed that keeping football stadiums open in March 2020 was responsible for high covid rates in the surrounding areas in December 2020.

Just plucked 3 fixtures from Boxing Day, at Aberdeen, Hearts and Rangers. There will be no more than 500 folk attending these events, yet 1.5 miles from Pittodrie is Union Square shopping centre, South Gyle is 4 miles from Tynecastle and Ibrox is 3 miles from both Silverburn and Braehead centres. 

Thousands of shoppers congregating, travelling from all over Scotland, multi generational and there’ll be more than 500 folk maskless eating burgers in the food courts at 3pm on Sunday in these shopping areas. 

it is not a public health matter now and the clubs ought to challenge this restriction. This is a virtual lockdown by stealth and cessation of business for specific industries; hospitality and outdoor/ sports events and the lunatics in Government need their wings clipped.

No surprise 

But apparently vast majority of people in hospital are unvaccinated 

We have fucked this again by not mandating vaccinations

You can't drag people kicking and screaming but if you made it law and handed out fines the take up would be more

Someone send this to the First Minister, she'll be getting one installed at Bute House by the end of the week.

In fact, she'll probably mandate this for entry to nightclubs.

That’s nightclubs now closed from Boxing Day. 

Pubs to close from 8, inevitably, will be the next step.  
 

You just can’t make these moves without furlough.  All faith I had in Sturgeon has gone.

Gyms.  Can't have people panting over each other.

Aye gyms will definitely be next.

This would genuinely be the most unacceptable decision yet. We have mountains of evidence that obesity is a major factor in how severe Covid can be, so if they actively stop people keeping fit it is beyond disgraceful.

She is now hated by nearly everyone, did that even happen to Thatcher. 

A year ago she was talked about as the best politician in the UK and Boris was a laughing stock but now people are leaving the SNP in their droves. Some are talking about voting for Boris. It's unbelievable. What a turnaround. Nobody would have predicted this. It's crazy.

I would agree, That IS unbelievable.

Whatever people may feel about Sturgeon, the SG and the restrictions, it would take a rather warped individual who had any sort of socialist leanings or indeed common decency to suddenly vote for a raving lunatic populist and his party of corrupt, self serving elitist scum.......

You would think somebody in the SNP would have some balls and have a quiet word in Sturgeon’s ear, to remind her she serves the people and is now acting unbalanced and is in serious overreach of power.  Her cuckold fanboys and fa girls wouldn’t dare utter a word but I’ve always had some respect for Angus Robertson. Seems a very level headed and experienced politician, who would look at the bigger picture, rather than the insular core of the leadership.

I’ve been saying this for ages. Many, many times, I have talked about the crowds in Braehead, Silverburn, etc. Braehead is a regular haunt of mine. It’s absolutely fcuking mental now. Public health my arse. Even up in the Antonine Centre in Cumbernauld, it’ll be busy. Livingston Outlets anyone? Folk out there spending Christmas money or looking for stuff in the sales? Rammed.

These fcukers in Holyrood need their fcuking ashets slapped.

She and her gang will throw any politician right under the bus publicly if anyone had the sheer audacity to question NS.
