However this appeared to me to be based solely on them saying she "had recalled parliament to give an update" which wasn't true. Yes, this is what threw me. I’m expecting a fairly mundane update with her doubling down on current rules and urging caution, stay at home as much as possible and we can’t rule anything out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to find it because obviously the increased cases of Omicron will mean the hospital number will rise whether or not they are actually being treated for covid. Coronavirus (COVID-19): additional data and information - gov.scot (www.gov.scot) I don't know if they are published for NHS Scotland (I presume they are but I can't find them). However, for NHS England there is a Primary Diagnosis Supplement (latest is 23 Dec) in here: https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/covid-19-hospital-activity/ Direct link: https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/12/Primary-Diagnosis-Supplement-20211223.xlsx It's a spreadsheet with 2 sheets - first sheet is beds occupied with patients with covid & second sheet beds occupied with patients treated primarily for covid. For 23rd December Primarily treated for covid is 4,432 With covid is 6,245 Hence those who are being primarily treated for something else is 1,813 (or 29%). It would be interesting to see the Scottish equivalent. Edited December 29, 2021 by Trogdor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course we can all joke about the SNP simps in this thread but the majority opinion (again, anecdotal) seems to be changing now that the vaccines/shan variant have converted this pandemic to a high stakes, highly tracked cold. Coming back to Ayr for Christmas has opened my eyes again to a little bit of the other side of this. In Edinburgh all of the people I know, of all ages, have lost the plot with the SNP and die hard voters like myself have changed their view on them. But came back to Ayr and whilst some have changed, others are still completely on board with everything they do. Unfortunately they are so pro-SNP that it doesn’t actually matter what they do and what UKG do, SNP will be right and UKG will be wrong. After Boris did nothing, my in-laws were coming out with “Boris hasn’t added any new restrictions, so that means thousands will die now” based on absolutely nothing. If Nicola had removed all restrictions the same day and Boris had put some in, they’d just have said “Nicola listening to the science and Boris going over the top” or something instead. It’s basically a cult now for some, but there’s more of them than you think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Have some faith in Magic Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Surely today the only announcement should be reducing the COVID jail sentence. Eases pressure on essential services due to pointless sick days off work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was wondering - going to 7 days isolation if you have negative LFTs on days 6 & 7. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 You only need to look at the comments section of any covid related article by The National to see how many of these oddballs there are. It’s utterly depressing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd_is_God Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 An incredible insight into mentally broken people. "Appealing for official symptoms to be updated" "People won't know they have it" "Until it's too late" Why are these people terrified by colds, and what do they think the reasonable govt response to people "walking about with cold like symptoms" is? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clown Job Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I’m having a bit of déjà vu here with these types of stories Realistically very few people are travelling across the border for a night out, but it feels like younger people are being set up as a scapegoat if case numbers rise in the New Year 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best bit of that it the until its too late part? Too late for what Fiona? I'd genuinely like to know. What a state the government and public health advisers have gotten people into over Omicron. It's not proportionate at all, people living in fear is not good. However, misjudged or misguided the people concerned are. It's not really funny at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Litt Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I tested positive on an LFT last night with absolutely no symptoms, just took it after our work strong advised them after going back after Christmas. It probably does go a decent enough way to explaining why cases are through the roof. I was out and about with my girlfriend in a couple of bars on Monday none the wiser and had absolutely no idea, testing negative on Friday for the family's sake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
