Shocking* that the only snippet you caught was the one bit that would show him and the SG in a positive light. *not at all shocking. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroMoutinho Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I really don’t see what relevance care homes have here. The U.K. government are proposing to keep testing in hospitals and care homes, so no one will be testing positive and then visiting cafe homes as Yousaf claimed. Seems like just another ‘reckless tories’ angle that he has jumped on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two (obvious) issues with this line of thought. Firstly, as has been clear for some time now, the science is absolute junk. Secondly, even if you ignore the large caveat that the WHO are advising on a pandemic that spans countries in polar opposite positions due to vaccines / population immunity levels, not giving advice on a country by country basis, we are under no obligation to do what the WHO say. They are there to advise on a single health matter - it's for political leaders to do what they see fit with that advice as they juggle everything else running a country involves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like just another ‘reckless tories’ angle that he has jumped on.Agree with this, there seems to be some conflict with what the likes of Humza are saying publicly and the information trickling down from the SG to local govt level. As an example a couple of weeks ago when the WFH directive was lifted two of the LAs I work with immediately said that a negative LFT was required by all hybrid workers entering their premises. This was questioned on the grounds of sustainability given at that time the UKG had intimated an end to free testing by the end of March. The response (from an LA Chief Exec) was her understanding was that the SG were "stockpiling" supplies and had enough to sustain a new testing regime that would include hybrid workers testing freely until September ie 6 months. Now the UKG timescale has moved forward a month so taking the CE at face value free testing for hybrid workers should continue to at least August. Fast forward to Humza today and all the talk of funding and procurement models suggests either they don't have the stockpile or they do but intend to keep free testing for even longer than the 6 months previously initiated to LAs. Alternatively they might have a sizeable stash but as you say are simply looking to make an anti UKG statement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he talks about "following the science", what he's actually doing is abdicating responsibility for his decisions and hiding behind whichever scientist is saying what he wants to hear to allow the SNP to continue Boris Bashing. There is no "science" as such. Credible scientists across the world are split on everything from masks to lockdowns. It's the nature of the beast. Scientists rarely agree on anything. These restrictions are political decisions and he should be an adult and own them as his own. That phrase really is a pet hate of mine. It’s as if there’s a book just sitting on a shelf full called ‘the science’ giving exact solutions. In reality there’s no such thing as ‘the science’. Science covers a whole range of disciplines, and there is huge disagreement even within these about what the right answers are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you read on you realise that pasta has gone up by about 15p and tinned tomatoes 10p. The basics range for both products are unchanged and basic potatoes are lower in price but the headline is what grabs the attention. And they consider this garbage news worthy? Honestly there can't be many professions more useless than modern journalism. That's foolish. A basket of basic food items is used as a measure of inflation and has been for a long time. It's perfectly legitimate to report on it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever someone like Carl Heneghan says something they people don't like, they trash him as a right wing nutter. Yes, you're right in that there is no such thing as "the science". The practice of choosing who to dismiss, however, is not confined to the left. That is self evident on here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, it’s far too easy to say for example a loaf of bread costs £4, cause that’s how much the artisan baker charges at the farmers market.
