This is those people she is talking about, they have been told to expect a call, they have been sent messages to explain how to prove it is legitimate. How can you possibly defend people who are knowingly putting others at risk. The track and trace system does need enforcement powers, to deal with those who block them or don't answer the calls, and check that these people are isolating. That needs to happen at a local level where the Track and Trace people stick people onto the naughty list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taffin Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I don't speak to people much on the phone so when my personal phone rings and it's not a number I recognise I don't answer. Not sure if that kind of thing causes an issue with track and trace or not, but I imagine I'm not alone in taking that approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JyTees Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Was Chief Mammy asked about why she ignored public health officials advice on Edinburgh? Or were the journos more interested in Glasgow's shops being open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the problems with the daily Nicola show is that the journalists don't get a follow up, so she can waffle on relatively unchallenged.

The equivalent case rate yesterday (I haven't seen today's figure yet): 102. There *has* been a rise in cases in Edinburgh that means that it no longer merits a drop into Tier 2.

Yes, we can see that the numbers have risen within the last week or so but there must be an explanation for that somewhere as they were pretty steady, in fact reducing for a while. Is this in relation to the outbreak at HW? If so, then again, the whole of the City of Edinburgh is being punished unfairly. If it isn't, then surely there must be information available as to what is exactly causing the numbers to rise, and if so, why is NS not sharing this information with us? One thing that is for sure, it's nothing to do with hospitality so still no reason why bars/restaurants in Edinburgh are unable to open.

The link that Brian had posted was about people who had already tested positive and couldn't be reached to give details about their close contacts, or were contacted but they were out mixing with people.

One thing that is for sure, it's nothing to do with hospitality so still no reason why bars/restaurants in Edinburgh are unable to open. Edinburgh's numbers warranted a drop in tiers weeks ago, well before 6th December. Chief mammy didn't want to upset Glasgow. Edinburgh's businesses and citizens suffered as a result. If Red is intimating that chief mammy was able to forecast a rise in the infection rates for Edinburgh all those weeks ago, then he's a lost cause, like many of the indoctrinated. Like you say, if the infection rates have increased regardless of Edinburgh's hospitality sector being restricted from trading for over 2 months, what was the point? Clearly it can't be hospitality causing the problem 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have expanded the testing capacity so they will find more positive cases. I think it has a lot to do with the mass testing of students going home for Christmas. The positivity rate in Edinburgh is still about 5%. The SG has form for twisting the figures to suit, we were the only country to take the percentage of newly tested people instead of the percentage of all tests carried out. Thankfully a lot of people are starting to see through the Murrell mafia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they investigated thus reason and still recommended a move to tier 2, there's a hell of a lot more explaining to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Maroonblood Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 1 hour ago, redjambo said: The City of Edinburgh per-100,000 7-day case rate on 6 Dec: 70. The equivalent case rate yesterday (I haven't seen today's figure yet): 102. There *has* been a rise in cases in Edinburgh that means that it no longer merits a drop into Tier 2. The start of the rise was visible, just, last Monday/Tuesday when the tier-related decisions were being made. However, don't let that stop you trying to jump on the issue and politicise it in line with your own political beliefs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westbow Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Tbh, as much as I want it to be true, I cannot see the logic of the FM keeping us in tier 3 out of malice, prejudice or pacifying the great west coast unwashed. It must be the threat of yuletide boozing not to mention a certain game kicking off 2:15 on a Sunday before Christmas. Large groups of blokes nursing a scotch egg and singing, shouting and dancing about in celebration after every goal, etc. Pains me to say, but I think they called it right.

westbow Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) 6 minutes ago, Lord BJ said: Agree with this. The SG have always said they will apply some form of judgement. In this case the judgement applied looks the correct call; as disappointing as that is. Tier 4 after Christmas now seems more likely than tier 3. Aye, for a lot of businesses the first two, three months of the year are the slowest anyway. Might be better to get shit under control then reopen back of March.

How have the hospitalisations and deaths been over the same period ? If they haven’t risen then I’m not sure we can say it was the correct call. Positive cases we were always told wasn’t the only indicator used especially when Edinburgh’s positive case numbers were low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
