Victorian Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 The wee co-dependent triumvirate today. One with a thin veneer of joviality but a nasty streak boiling over under the surface. One just nasty 'cos he hasn't got the brains to be anything else and just clings to perceived allies. The last one off his chump. Others can choose which ones are which.

Think it’s a certainty that cases will rise but as long as hospitalisations isn’t getting out of control I can’t see any reason to justify level 3 across the board.

It's right next to Falkirk which has had an elevated case rate for quite a while now. It's probably just transmission between the two, imo. You're right though, Jonno, it has been creeping up for a while. Here's hoping they can put a lid on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo Chiefo Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 1 hour ago, Footballfirst said: Just as an addendum to the 55k deaths forecast we referenced earlier, prior to today's numbers, England had suffered 5,000 Covid deaths over the last two weeks since the paper was written. The message being that the deaths will be heavily front loaded over the next couple of months, unless there is some hugely unforeseen spike as things are opened up. Thanks for clarifying FF. That does make a difference. More good news about the vaccine efficacy today so hopefully deaths can be minimised as far as possible and, as you say, we can avoid any spikes.

Victorian Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 New variant concern seems to be becoming incrementally milder as further new variant news comes along. I think I saw a wee comment in that BBC Horizon programme to suggest that new variants threatening to become fully vaccine escaping ones are quite likely to be much less infectious. I hope that's true because it seems to guarantee either secure efficacy of vaccines or a much less concerning virus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Dan Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Listening to today’s briefing by Handcock and JVT and some other news stories I think the tide is turning. New variations of the virus can be combated by adjusting the vaccines as they do with flu. We may still see deaths from Covid19 in the future but it will no where near the scale of what we have seen over the past year. Vaccine passports will be needed for travel certainty in the near future. This is understandable as other countries will want to limit their exposure to it in the future.

The previous threshold for level four was 300 cases per 100,000. Cases will also need to drop to below 50 per 100,000 in a local authority before it will be considered for level two, much lower than the previous rate of 150 per 100,000. That is the level where non-essential journeys outside the authority boundary are allowed and pubs can serve alcohol. -------- So the best Edinburgh can hope for is level 2 but if its the whole of Lothian then not a chance on current figures.

Level 2 = meal required for a pint - unlike England. The changes to the levels for the 7-day case rate aren't quite as severe as they look because the previous levels were only indicative in any case since the requirement to take other indicators into consideration meant that in practice the effective case rates required were lower. Levels 3 and 4, for example, won't effectively change at all according to my observations (the effective cut-off was 150 in practice, not the nominal 300). The requirement to get into Level 2 is noticeably tighter though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redjambo Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 4 minutes ago, The Frenchman Returns said: Note that case rates have generally dropped in the last few days, so if the latest reported results were incorporated, a handful of council areas would be in a lower level than that represented in the above chart. However, I imagine that the SG will base the 7-day case rate on sample dates as in said chart and thus it will always be a few days behind. An offshoot of this is that it allows an additional small window of "look-ahead" conservatism - if a council is "over the bar" and doesn't qualify for a certain tier on the sample date value but looks as if it will do so on the latest reported date value, it will remain in the higher tier; on the other hand if it is under the bar but the latest reported data shows an upsurge, then it could be placed in the higher tier. I imagine, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
