That's Switzerland already joining Norway in announcing quarantine and test-free travel even for the unvaxxed, with no pointless contact tracing forms either. The first Med country to do this will lead to the rest following suit quicker than a tramp on chips. Sky News were also saying the UK passenger locator form could be in the bin following Johnson's speech on Monday. Obviously we'll probably get our own new Scottish version from Queen Nicola, but still. Belgium too. They've been pretty heavy handed with the testing and quarantine rules for 2 years now. As of tomorrow, any testing and quarantine completely gone for vaccinated travellers...can see the rules for unvaccinated binned by Spring 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edinburgh to Brussels was a mega busy route before both Brexit and Covid killed it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I wonder how long they're going to keep playing those utterly shan covid guideline ads on the radio for. Very strong 'This one simple trick and you'll save lives!' vibes about them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard Graft Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 According to the Financial Times in late January Scotland's death rate from the virus was 45 per 100000 compared to England which was 30 per 100000. Information was taken from Death certificates. Guess who makes no apology for imposing restrictions and keeping us safe. The bald, speccy twat stated that he didn't think Scotland had more curbs than other countries but warned the bug is still a risk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginaro Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Hospital numbers have increased from a low of 868 on Sunday, up to 944 - but ICU numbers down to 11, the lowest since mid-June. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Dearie me. One of the most interesting things to watch recently has been the way Devi's former acolytes have fallen out with her over her changing her stance. They'd only be happy if she went down the Deepti line of locking down now and forever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line that Yousaf is spouting is that over the whole period of Covid, Scotland had a lower death rate than England. Just shows what you can do with statistics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A colossal 11 punters in intensive care in the whole country, yet we still have to 'mask up', sign into restaurants, and flash our QR codes to get into the fitba.
