Maybe one of the posse could explain sensibly? She and the SNP in general have always had a philosophical issue with alcohol and it’s perceived evils. For example see the push for minimum alcohol pricing in Scotland or going further back the attempts to raise the age to buy from shops to 21. I do think that overall their intent is fair, trying to prevent alcohol related deaths but their approach of treating people like children and having all these rules around drink up to 8pm but no later etc are patronising, ill thought through and undermine the wider COVID response as people just switch off.

niblick1874 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 As I have been saying. The slight of hand by snake oil salesmen put forward to lie to you by psychopaths. 009 Leading medical journal the BMJ published a peer-reviewed article last week by John Appleby, Director of Research at the Nuffield Trust, that draws on ONS data to look at the 2020 England and Wales death toll in a historical context. In terms of absolute number of deaths, 2020 was the worst year since 1838 except for the Spanish Flu year of 1918 (note that overseas deaths including war casualties are not included). Total deaths in England and Wales, 1838-2020 However, as a proportion of population, it was only the worst year since 2003. Deaths per 100,000 population in England and Wales, 1838-2020 Furthermore, once you take into account the fact that the population is getting older and standardise the figures by age, 2020 was less deadly than 2008 and every year prior to it. Age standardised mortality rates per 100,000 in England and Wales, 1942-2020 Appleby for his part makes no attempt to downplay the pandemic death toll, pointing out that only in four previous years had there been a sharper increase in percentage terms on the previous year and they were all prior to 1941. It was definitely counter to the decreasing trend. A point he doesn’t make, however, is that the historically low levels of the previous 11 years would have left an unusually large amount of ‘dry tinder’ for any novel virus to burn through. Plus, 2019 had the lowest age-standardised mortality ever, to the extent that if you took an average of 2019 and 2020 then that average was lower than 2015, 2013, 2012 and every year prior to 2011. While it’s fair to note (as Appleby does) that the coronavirus epidemic continued into 2021, with high excess deaths in January and February, it is hard to regard this as an earth-shattering death toll. It also includes lockdown deaths from lack of access to medical care and other support and the psychological impact of isolation and loss of livelihood, estimated by the ONS to be up two fifths of the overall death toll. The graphs also make clear that previous similar pandemics, such as in 1957 and 1968, made only a modest impact on mortality and only for a year or two, notwithstanding the lack of vaccines or social interventions. There is nothing about this disease to think the long-term pattern should be any different that would justify some kind of radical, permanent change to the way we interact or organise our lives. It’s important to remember that our immune systems develop and maintain resistance to a host of pathogens through being frequently exposed to them and that social isolation, where it is not merely ineffective, can deprive us of the opportunity to keep our immunity topped up. The BMJ article is worth reading in full. By Will Jones / 19 April 2021 • 00.42 Deaths ONS Pandemics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why go down the route of material social distance changes that we are categorically told haven't been introduced when their challenges should either be with the guidelines as they are considering the level of vaccinations, decrease in figures or non compliance by others within the industry and more case by case 'warnings' or whatever need to be levied. Also imo what is worrying in that if the only key change is all adult contact details taken is how BBC Scotland pretty much took 24 hours to check with SG and counter act the claims.

Footballfirst Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) The vaccine supplies have been updated today. Cumulative supplies of 4,429,780 (up 302,240 since last week) have been allocated for Scotland's use, although it has only taken delivery of 3,935,850 (up 215,680 since last week). That creates a reserve of 493,930, available at relatively short notice. In terms of 2nd doses, today's cumulative total of just under 800,000 matches the the total of first doses administered by 6th February., which was 10 weeks and 3 days ago, so still comfortably within the 12 week target. However, those due to receive 2nd doses are the same people who had their 1st doses on the peak days in the 2nd week of February which topped out at over 60,000 a day. I expect that the gap between doses will get closer to the 12 week target over the next couple of weeks, but I think that there are sufficient supplies to get past the peak. After that it should be possible to resume more first doses for the U50s, probably from the 2nd week in May onwards.

The 6 people from 3 different households with distancing made it pointless as they couldn't hold a conversation across the size of the tables. Yet, 50 people from all corners of the UK can travel here and congregate for a wedding. It's a pile of nonsense. The hypocrisy of some of the rules is completely baffling.

The 6 people from 3 different households with distancing made it pointless as they couldn't hold a conversation across the size of the tables. Yet, 50 people from all corners of the UK can travel here and congregate for a wedding. It's a pile of nonsense. The hypocrisy of some of the rules is completely baffling. It's utterly mad. In England, all restrictions will be gone by June 21st so, presumably, social distancing, wearing masks etc. Not sure whether that is the intention in Scotland or not but businesses are not viable while these draconian rules regarding closing times, alcohol sales, 1m distancing etc. 2 households at a table, track & trace, table service etc is more than sufficient just now until we reach herd immunity in a few short months. Businesses will at least have a chance. The hospitality industry should agree en masse, not to open up until the nonsensical rules are removed.

Because it was batshit mental. People recognise when they are being shat on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
