Yes, completely agree. We need to accept lockdowns are over. One scientist on Sky News earlier said that everyone needs to "calm down" and stop obsessing about every variant and whether it's "more infectious" than the previous one. Finish the vaccine roll out and we can move on.

It will only kick off with those who choose not to take the vaccine. Their choice. A small surge in cases will play out in the background while things return to normal and business starts to boom again

Was great to see the people of Glasgow standing up to the ridiculous decision of the UK home office. Make no mistake this was a calculated decision by Patel to try and humiliate the FM and enrage the Muslim community on Eid Al Fitr. Thankfully it is Patel that is left totally humiliated. And an added bonus is to see the rage of our resident SG haters on here, hilarious.

Thanks 👍👍 will have a deeper read of that now. Sorry for being lazy, I didn't search for it in fairness, I'd only scrolled the home pages.

 

Must say I'm totally in support of that, good on them in Glasgow, it's great to see. And well done police Scotland for getting involved as well.

Good on you, piss on some poor *****, just so you can get it up NS. What a right good sort you are.

Hopefully nothing surprisingly pops up in your family history, that may make you or your wife and kids an illegal immigrant. Or an environmental accident happens in Scotland and the EU don't tell us all to go **** ourselves. 

 

I've a lot I'd like to say about this subject and what I'd like to do to the people who enforce it and support it, but I'd be banned and jailed for that.

I got my second one yesterday at Ingliston and after telling the nurse I had no reaction to the first one she said I might well have have some symptoms this time although nothing so far.

It was the Pfizer one again.

A fair amount of people from Portobello there yesterday.

 

I had both the Pfizer jags a while back both gave me a slight pain in the arm for about 12 hours , which appears to be a very common complaint , but absolutely no other symptoms . 

[Dazo]

My 17 year old daughter is due to get her first on Saturday. I’m assuming it’s Pfizer and under 18’s are approved. I say due as I’m not sure how I feel about it yet. She is keen.

Over 18’s to be offered vaccine now, in spiking COVID areas of Glasgow to try and control outbreak 

 

Concerns around Midlothian as they are showing a upward trajectory, 

 

Also whilst the situation has improved in Moray, they are still having. Issues with outbreaks occurring in areas in Lossiemouth, Keith and Aberlour. 
 

Still hoped all areas move to tier 2 on Monday planned. 

There was no way Moray was moving to tier 2 until this spike happened in Glasgow so now she has no choice and has to move Moray into tier 2 

Well that’s what I’m hoping cause I’d be shocked if she kept Glasgow in tier 3

Wouldn’t put it passed them 

I think there is a sense of anger about today’s events in regards to a gathering of people in an area which apparently has had a spike of cases anyway . Irrespective of why those people where there , their race or religion is irrelevant . It was irresponsible . I completely understand the anger about today considering how football fans have been treated in the last year ? I deplore dawn raids , but that is the current policy set by West minster . Sturgeon was clearly stirring the pot today with classic deflection . She’s a past master or mistress at that I feel. 

 

The only people who are angry are racist unionists. It was a great turn out and a fantastic result.

Portugal about to pull the rug out on the masses of Brits who have booked holidays there?  An example of why international travel will never return to stability until vaccination levels reach a better co-protective,  co-beneficial state.

The 'offer' of another vaccine isn't quite an 'offer'.

 

It's will be 'given' Pfeizer or Moderna.

 

When the news broke that AZ wasn't to be offered to under 30s, pretty much the 'shutters' went down on getting past the registration stage of the process and the U30s were asked to go to a centre which was holding Pfeizer on that day.

Scientific chat about how any possible variant of higher transmissibility coming along now is a bit of a concern compared to coming along in the autumn when vaccination levels will be at such a high level that the virus would be unable to achieve any spread.  This is the race between virus and vaccine that was theorised weeks ago.  At the moment there's still a sufficiently large population without vaccine protection who are potentially susceptible to severe disease.  Restrictions virtually ending is a new phase in the game.  We've never yet seen a period when suppression has been removed from the equation whilst infection rates are moderate and rising in areas.  

 

Some scientists aren't even sure that the India variant is more transmissible.  They're saying there are indications that it isn't out-competing the dominant variant and it's rise is due to accelerating importation.  If true then that's a giant **** up by the UK gvt for being too ****ing stupid and slow to get on top of travel in from India,  etc.

 

The race is definitely on now.  At the moment it looks like there will be some subsequent damage but it should be short lived.  The vaccine will eventually win.

How would you feel about her going on the pill?  Roughly 1 in 3000 chance of a blood clot compared to 1 in 200k after a vaccine.

 

[Shanks said no]

Wife got her 2nd jag letter yesterday for the 18th, I didn’t despite us both getting 1st at same time and both 56. Her’s are 6 weeks 6 days apart, I called them and mine is 31st May, exactly 2 months. Pretty good turnaround.

Incredible to read or indeed not read on this zero condemnation about an illegal gathering of people yesterday in a densely populated area of a major Scottish city . Usually when this occurs they are All over it like a rash . But then again that tends to be when it’s a group of people they have little or no support or interest in ( football teams , young people , etc ) Even worse they view this illegal gathering as some kind of victory for their cheerleader when in fact it evidences her hypocrisy . Let’s hope there is suitable silence if Rangers fans are out en masse at the weekend to celebrate their teams recent league victory .

What hypocrisy? Sturgeon condemned the Home Office for causing those scenes.

 

In a twitter thread posted in response to that police statement, Sturgeon went on: “I disagree fundamentally with @ukhomeoffice immigration policy but even putting that aside, this action was unacceptable.

“To act in this way, in the heart of a Muslim community as they celebrated Eid, and in an area experiencing a Covid outbreak was a health and safety risk.”

 

Nicola Sturgeon called on the UK Government to ensure that a situation like the one in Glasgow today will “never again” be created by their actions.

 

She tweeted: “Both as MSP and as FM, I will be demanding assurances from the UK Government that they will never again create, through their actions, such a dangerous situation.

“No assurances were given - and frankly no empathy shown - when I managed to speak to a junior minister earlier.”

She didn’t say a single word about the number of people gathering though did she? Not one.  
 

You watch how quick she will be to condemn the Rangers fans on the weekend though.  
 

it doesn’t matter what the reason either large gatherings should be discouraged or they shouldn’t, you can’t let the cause determine the safety advice.
