And they say its not political? It is. Poor pubs and other businesses maybe not going to open next week despite the stats in Edinburgh doing better. This will finish many off as the run up to Xmas is their busiest time. It would be difficult at any time if either city was in different tier, pubs especially would be heaving as it’s a short trip.

If we spent as much time and money to cure cancer instead of relying on charitable support, if we devoted all government resources that we have seen being used now to fight influenza or starvation or heart problems, then just perhaps we would have been able to cure them. What about spending same amount on testicular cancer or breast cancer? What about hereditary diseases, as it meets your criteria of being caught from other people? Really no point in arguing/discussing these things with you as you don't seem to comprehend anything other than Covid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't looked at the local council figures yet (I'll wait for the Travelling Tabby site to calculate them at 3pm), but you may well find that the City of Edinburgh is even lower than that due to the increased infection stats at the moment in West Lothian. Also, the usual proviso about weekend stats applies. The 7-day rolling averages are Greater Glasgow 41, Lothian 19.

redjambo Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Just now, Brian Dundas said: Was it daily numbers of over 20 that triggered restrictions in some council areas a few weeks ago? Was that the extension of restrictions to East Dunbartonshire, Renfrewshire and, a few days later, Lanarkshire? If so, I have no idea. I'm not sure we were ever told. Infections as a whole were much less then though. Lanarkshire, for example, has a population of 660,000 but only had new infections of an average of 26 a day over the whole area for the 7 days before lockdown was imposed. That's over the whole population, not per-100,000. We're living in different times, even though that was only a month and a half ago. Everything has been upscaled and we can't really compare trigger points from now with those back then, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redjambo Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 3 minutes ago, Lord BJ said: West Lothian is pretty high and suspect it’s defo increasing overall Lothian number. The West Lothian cases are linked to a couple of care homes, I think. It’s infection rate is higher than Dundee. Even thinking about West Lothian it’s a series of small towns over a pretty large geographical area. The rates probably vary massively within West Lothian itself. I do wonder how successful the tier approach would be when people will travel into other areas. It’s a tough one and not convinced it’s a straight forward as tiering an area by council or health board arbitrarly, as you need to look at chance of occurring. It will be a tough one for SG as they will want to have clear parameters for invoking lockdown. Albeit we see the SG seems to take a more nuanced approach see treatment of Glasgow and Aberdeen. The central belt by its nature and connectivity is going to be a challenging problem to solve. What adds even more to the mix is the question as to how long an area should remain in a certain tier. The last thing the hospitality trade want, for example, is for the area they're in to be moving up or down a tier on a weekly basis. There might be an unofficial minimum time period applied to being in a tier, e.g. a month, with the idea that there needs to be a significant and sustained rise in the rate of infections to trigger a movement to a greater tier, but perhaps an even more sustained fall before an area is allowed to drop back down again.

Fxxx the SPFL Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 2 hours ago, Lord BJ said: Got the distinct impression we ain’t seeing any loosening here. I still think they will treat the central belt as a larger area to prevent people travelling at least until the levels are down that can get them under a similar tier ie. tier 2 or better. She has just said central belt is likely to stay where it is in questioning, I can’t see them creating a situation where potentially large numbers are travelling from the west for socialising purposes. Not initially anyway. Beginning to think we will stay where we are, until Chrimbo time. We will then drop down a tier or so to enable a limited Christmas, then shortly into New Year we will go back up the tiers with the blame being Christmas. Students have been screwed over. Rushed and told to get back to education. Then told not to go to pubs and then a large chunk locked up in halls. Now potentially being told not allowed home at Christmas. All whilst by demonised by many. totally agree with that i think students were lambs to the slaughter governments knew fine well they would socialise together and no doubt catch covid a deliberate ploy by our so called politicians.
