You see, logic left your brain at some point. When you live in a country where you see a few cases and can understand transmission and its intervals, may you might accept scientific evidence at some point.

Unless you want to include family pets too?? Just for the record, England has a higher percentage of fully vaccinated adults.👍 What manipulation? Those are the stats. I haven't tampered with them.

redjambo Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Scottish numbers: 28 July 2021 Summary 1,179* new cases of COVID-19 reported [+135; down from 1,686 a week ago] 28,268* new tests for COVID-19 that reported results [+7,674] 4.8% of these were positive [-0.8%] 9 new reported death(s) of people who have tested positive [+2] 63 people were in intensive care yesterday with recently confirmed COVID-19 [=] 474 people were in hospital yesterday with recently confirmed COVID-19 [+2] 4,002,903 people have received the first dose of the Covid vaccination and 3,125,690 have received their second dose [+2,245; +16,762] * Public Health Scotland (PHS) has undertaken work to improve their COVID-19 reporting process to ensure they continue to provide the most accurate and timely information. As a result of this, today’s testing figures covering the latest 24 hours will include a small number of tests notified between 12:00am and 5:15am on 27 July that would have been reported in yesterday’s daily figures. This is due to the transition to a new reporting schedule including cases up to 12am on day of reporting; there is no double counting in the cumulative totals reported today.

Similar story elsewhere. The obvious is answer to that is that we are testing significantly more people now than we were last summer and that as a result the cases quoted last summer were extremely under reported. Last June around 6 people per 1000 were being tested in a 7 day period. By the end of July 2020 that had risen to around 14 per 1000. End of July 2021 and that is 30 people per 1000 after reaching an all time high of 45 on the 2nd July 2021. You test more, you find more. It's pretty simple.

If that increase in testing and positive results was coupled with the same rate of positivity then your argument would be valid. If, however, the positivity rate doubled along with the increased testing regime, then you have uncovered a growing problem. That is what Scotland experienced in late June and early July. Testing went up but the positivity rate more than doubled from under 5% to over 10%, so we had a worse problem than would have been the case had the positivity rate remained unchanged.

I suggest you go back and peruse the chain of events that preceded my reply. In response to Sturgeon being criticised for her Trump-like rant about the vaccine roll out in the 40-49 cohort, a table of vaccination rates among the home stations was posted, to which I responded. Here in the UK, we talk, on a daily basis about the percentage of adults being vaccinated, regardless of what is done in other countries. If you want to remove your head from the sand, you will be able to appreciate that said poster chose to use a figure that shone Scotland in a better light than the gold standard figures would have done, purely for political reasons. It's not a race or a competition and Scotland, along with all the other constituent parts, has benefited greatly from the world leading UK vaccine procurement programme.

Footballfirst Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 5 minutes ago, Enzo Chiefo said: I'm not dancing on the head of any pin. I suggest you go back and peruse the chain of events that preceded my reply. In response to Sturgeon being criticised for her Trump-like rant about the vaccine roll out in the 40-49 cohort, a table of vaccination rates among the home stations was posted, to which I responded. Here in the UK, we talk, on a daily basis about the percentage of adults being vaccinated, regardless of what is done in other countries. If you want to remove your head from the sand, you will be able to appreciate that said poster chose to use a figure that shone Scotland in a better light than the gold standard figures would have done, purely for political reasons. It's not a race or a competition and Scotland, along with all the other constituent parts, has benefited greatly from the world leading UK vaccine procurement programme. So you didn't say "Just for the record, England has a higher percentage of fully vaccinated adults.👍". Seems like you wish to portray England "in a better light than the gold standard figures". BTW, the EU will probably overtake "the world leading UK vaccine procurement programme" next month as the take up rate across the UK stalls.

I did say that; but this is a conversation that you should be having with another poster. I'm sure that the EU will catch up with the UK eventually. I hope they, and all nations for that matter, do. I also hope they can also experience their Freedom Days too. Incidentally, everybody used to "catch up" with Sir Mo Farah in their own time.

He's also been fudging the numbers ever since Scotland caught up and surged ahead. Hope that helps. 👍 "Surged ahead"🤣🤣🤣 When England, with a higher percentage of fully vaccinated adults , finish their programme, Scotland will still be vaccinating the eligible cohorts.👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of its programme Scotland will have double dosed a higher percentage of their "eligible cohorts". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No evidence whatsoever that Scotland will have more "double dosed" individuals by the end of their respective programmes. We'll have to disagree. I just hope we can follow England's lead on removing restrictions tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have to disagree. I just hope we can follow England's lead on removing restrictions tbh. Just check the latest vaccination take up rates for each age group when PHE issues their next weekly update up to 29 July (the "NHS Region" tab will give you the rates for each age group), then compare it to the take up for each age group in Scotland, as published daily in the PHS Dashboard. https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/covid-19-vaccinations/ The double dose "programme" is effectively complete for everyone over 50's, both in England and Scotland, so the data is already there for those age groups. I'll create a table for your benefit once the PHE data is updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
