I see the toilet roll, shelf strippers are out in force again.

Do they think that we import all our toilet roll from Europe 

 

Would anyone on here call them out, if they saw them with a trolley full in a supermarket?

 

I think many do think that, they probably also think that we import the trees to turn into paper.

If there is any justice, Asda should charge him £20 a slot, non-transferable and non-refundable.

Thanks for proving my point about those with alternative viewpoints.

 

But, since you're the humourless sort, do you really believe that folk who believe lockdowns do more damage than they prevent are part of the Global Flat Earth Society and went to school in Alabama? Or are you just giving the fire a wee poke? 

If you think I’m ‘humourless’ for not splitting my sides at your ‘jokes’ then I suppose you’re right.  We do all have different opinions.

I’m basing mine on what I’ve heard from doctors and nurses that I know that work in hospitals.

Noticed you getting a fair dooin on this today.    Ignore them mate. I find your posts intelligent , informative and interesting.  You have been truthful about your change of views about wee Sturgeon and her management of this pandemic. sorry mismanagement.  I do find your posts can be a bit " out there" , " off kilter" and " whacky" but thats what makes you interesting. Considering most of your critics  repeat the same " Lockdowns work" drone every day ad nausea  without considering any alternatives I would say you and a few others are spot on.  Hope you have a good Xmas.

 I'll cope with the joke jibe.

 

FWIW, some of what has fuelled my disillusion with the approach(es) since March has been fed by what I've been told by frontline healthcare pros, too. I'd argue that my own views on lockdowns and the handling of this pandemic (and the best way forwards) is as evidence-based as yours or anyone else's. 

 

Anyway, a' the best. 

 

Probably a good time to agree on a Christmas truce on this thread.

Thing is i think a lot of the more sensible posters , while disagreeing on the nature of restrictions get info from people involved in the response. For instance two of us up here have heard similar about a red alert situation for the hospital for 12weeks. To me thats them pre-empting any issues to keep it under control. Others will say its the apocalypse , some will say thats them planning for worst case , likewise you’ll get “****ing arseholes , i need an op etc” its peoples perceptions of info or of things we are told that alter , not really the info

Brilliantly worded wee snydey post instead of sticking to actual points. Thats why people end up turning on folk (on either side) thats not debate thats just a childish dig at some posters.

 

ok so what alternatives? Thats something that is usually herd immunity or let old folk die off as its nature sorting us out. Theres no solution that will keep everyone happy. We live in a social media driven paranoid society

I've got no issues with your journey through this mate, we're all doing the same. But your tone and words to folk that still feel more anxious now you do can be very dismissive and condescending, and I'd have expected you to be a bit more understanding considering. Just my opinion on your posts though, nothing more than that.

It depends on your definition of "holding firm". The 7-day case rate over Scotland has increased 40% in 4 days. We're on a bit of an upsurge at the moment.

They do say Scots find German easier than the English do. And, although the Dutch will deny it, there are clearly similarities so I'd expect the same with their language. That's a really good one for messages though.

I'd imagine none, I'm sure I read on here that schools aren't contributing to the spread.

 

It's becoming a bit of a nightmare, pubs and hospitality were the main spreaders, but they are now mainly closed and it's still rising uncontrollably. Schools aren't aren't a risk but will be closing anyway, there's not much left to close. Unless we close supermarkets...which I think has also been said not to be a major risk. Tough one.

But the case rate is based on numbers not percentages no??? More testing will inevitably lead to more cases. Surely the %age figure is more important for comparison purposes?? We seem to be hovering around the magic 5% figure.

For me the big problem is that they’ve lost the fear that existed in the first lockdown. 
 

People overwhelmingly adhered to the restrictions because no one knew what the virus was about. 
 

Now, for better or worse, people have a better understanding of the virus. If you’re not old, and don’t come in contact with older family (or don’t care) then your risk profile is very low. 
 

Shutting schools, stricter lockdown measures, less open shops - I just don’t see how it gets everything under control. Those who are going to abide by the rules are doing so and will continue to do so. Those who are breaking the rules will continue to do so. I think the proportion of the population falling into the latter group is substantially increased from the first lockdown. 
 

As an aside, James is taking some fairly well deserved flak. Doling out the advise and ripping into people who think exactly as he previously (very vocally) did. I don’t think people are digging him out about the stance so much as the condescending, arrogant attitude he displays.

Very true, sadj.

 

I agree that planners should be pre-empting things to an extent, but when that becomes the default response, rather than dealing with tangible issues and guaranteed future implications of things like lockdowns and prioritising CV19, then folk are well within their rights to feel a bit miffed that 'protecting the NHS' means throwing many others under the bus.

 

Indeed , where do you go with things though. If this had happened twenty / thirty years ago when society wasn’t run by lunatics on social media platforms and lawyers suing you because you took an extra breath of fresh air that denied their client theirs I think we would have seen a very different response. 
 

Its so easy to build a hate and mob mentality over anything now and some people live for it. As soon as they see an opportunity its about disharmony and about being a big fish in a world of little warped fishessss. The real problems and issues in any important matter seem to get lost between that , image and profit margins for companies. I hoped lockdown would let people reconnect with themselves in a world that had to slow down. Instead many people have just gone straight back to “im a ***** and tough luck if it means i shit on everyone else” 

 

As for ops and the like , again twenty thirty years ago the caution would have been less but the possibility of repercussions would also have been. You would prob see hospitals still doing ops at a good level having extra staff (this may not be true) , less fear of the repercussions from an outbreak. All my opinion of course.

There is no real consequence for breakinh rules. People get fined , lawyers tell you to let them fight it as its unjust. 🤷🏻‍♂️Akin to private parking , get a ticket , toss it away as its almost impossible to enforce. The outbreak up here was stupidity from a guy getting tested then instead of waiting for a reault going out on the piss. What happened to him...not a thing. Outbreak up here in a care home - staff member came in to work knowing his family were showing symptoms and had been tested but didn’t tell the parent company/agency. Next thing several families have lost loved ones. Any action against him- No.

 

So do as you like as don’t fear the consequences.

Don't agree with that. He's been pretty supportive and respectful on this thread to people who are wary about it. Where he's been sniffy is in regards to people who won't accept another viewpoint and continually champion the government advice and pro-lockdown stuff whilst trying to ridicule others who think lockdowns do more harm than good. His responses about hiding behind sofa's and stuff are churlish but his frustration (imo) is at the condescending judgement from those who support maximum intrusion into liberty to combat the virus, not at people who are afraid of it.

 

Do I agree with him? In parts, yes. Is that easy to say when not at risk from the virus really? Also yes.

 

Whether people like it or not, a point in time will either come when we have this under control or we have to accept the death toll. I hope more than anything it's the first one, but time is running out before the second one starts to feel like the less destructive one on a global scale.

Don't agree with that. He's been pretty supportive and respectful on this thread to people who are wary about it. Where he's been sniffy is in regards to people who won't accept another viewpoint and continually champion the government advice and pro-lockdown stuff whilst trying to ridicule others who think lockdowns do more harm than good. His responses about hiding behind sofa's and stuff are churlish but his frustration (imo) is at the condescending judgement from those who support maximum intrusion into liberty to combat the virus, not at people who are afraid of it.

 

Do I agree with him? In parts, yes. Is that easy to say when not at risk from the virus really? Also yes.

 

Whether people like it or not, a point in time will either come when we have this under control or we have to accept the death toll. I hope more than anything it's the first one, but time is running out before the second one starts to feel like the less destructive one on a global scale.

 

Fairly put...

 

I guess my response was (whatever the opposite of tempered is) by being accused of being part of a pile on, James is, I assume big enough and ugly enough to call out bullying, if/when it happens on here without handers.

Yip and the numbers on the right are getting smaller. Tho, ours got bigger for once.

@redjambo

Do you have Scottish death figures also.

 

I mean compared with UK per population. Or better the rest of Europe.

I may be in the wrong/minority, but personally I think the should vaccinate the people of the UK from the youngest up. Maybe shield the old and vulnerable for a month or 2. Just a suggestion to maybe getting us up and running again, quicker.

Absolutely, also not saying you shouldn't feel the way you do about by the way, and also didn't feel it was a particularly harsh pile on or the like.

 

Just that I don't see his responses in the same way , that could well be shaped from positive discussions I've had with him over the course of this thread.

From https://www.travellingtabby.com/uk-coronavirus-tracker/, our 7-day death rate compared to the other UK countries below. If you go to that web page then you can add some other countries to the chart, including the UK as whole (but the UK is effectively England figures-wise due to the relative populations).
