There is element of luck in the Vaccine procurement though, did you back the right horse? Also Brexit and the whole process may have influenced who backed which ones. Would it have looked different if we were still in the EU?

 

I think we have definitely benefitted on being out of the EU for Vaccines, but it could easily have gone the other way.

 

The UK Government has also been lucky and benefited from tens of thousands of people who would have been in line for the vaccination dying each month due to its utter incompetence. 

 

Bonus 👍

Even if you attribute every UK Covid death to the Government(s) incompetence we are still streets ahead of the EU on the vaccination front.

Easy for you to say that when you're not the one that has to enforce it. All that does is put drivers in danger. 

But they are ok to enforce ticket paying?  I’ve seen drivers reuse people on the bus if their bus pass has expired

They probably aren't doing that either just now. They're at high risk in that drivers seat on the bus.

If it was me people could be walking on whether they paid a fare or not, and with or without a mask. A bus drivers are going to see a lot of people in a day and you can guarantee that all the radge's will be amongst those not wearing a mask. They'd only be confronting the confrontational. 

[Adam_the_legend]

The list of failings of the government during covid is extensive, ridiculous actually, but their vaccine procurement and distribution performance can’t really be criticised. They pre-ordered half a dozen vaccines to give the best chance of getting the first working vaccine. The brexit component is interesting as well but you can’t really argue (though I’m sure some will try) that not being part of the EU’s procurement framework has meant a quicker rollout in the U.K.

 

I’m just thankful there is someone somewhere in that government that’s not completely incompetent.

The only people I've seen without face masks in shops are young people, teens/20's, all of the older ones are wearing masks, although sometimes it's not covering their nose, but at least they've made the effort unlike some who don't give a feck about anybody else.

 

Yes, but Jambo 4 Ever is saying if you have an exemption you still shouldn't be allowed in, and should instead use the internet. I don't agree with him but not due to people not having internet access. What age group those people are in is neither here, nor there really.

 

Sorry, I assumed you'd read his posts when you picked him up about internet saturation levels.

 

Incidentally, I've seen people of all ages not wearing masks in the supermarket. Younger people either seem to do it, it not at all. Along with no masks, I've seen older people holding hankies and the like up to their face as if that's going to do anything but it is the right side of the rules I guess as it just stipulates a face covering not how it's attached or what material etc it's made out of.

Perhaps. Its early days. Let's hope they finally managed to get something done correctly.

I think it is reasonable to wonder why Scotland is lagging behind, we should be up at 25k a day by now if England are at 270k a day. There might be reasons for this, but it is not unreasonable to ask the question.

Totally agree. I should’ve been clearer - I was referring to the U.K. government, not the Scottish gov.

They seem to have their act in gear down south with the vaccine while the SG sits with its thumb up its ass.

Yes. Scotland is streets ahead of the EU on vaccination, even if lagging slightly behind other parts of the UK.

Assume we will soon hear from Nicola if Scotland is not being allocated its fair share of the UK vaccine purchases. Unless it is down to distribution within Scotland.

It gets a wee bit monotonous producing the stats so I decided a few posts ago to start introducing a funny name for one council each time just to break the monotony - we've had Fife and Drum, Moray Eel and Angus Og so far, and you're the first to notice. I suppose it's the equivalent of an office worker in a standard grey suit at a dreary job wearing a colourful tie. I may start running out of fun names soon though - what can you change East Renfrewshire to, for example?

Follow Authority Control The Spread.

 

After sifting through some general Scottish facts (such as Edinburgh was the first city in the world to have it's own Fire Brigade), I've since found what it stands for. It's not very memorable I must say, but the message is good.

I think i heard a gun going off for East Renfrewshire. if i remember correctly when Terry Butcher was co commentating on the Hearts 4-1 Rangers cup game at Tynie i think they mentioned that someone had a large bet due to come up until we got the fourth goal and his quote was 'i think i heard gunshot in Paisley' or something like that. thanks for the updates

I've since looked it up, I saw it on an advertising hoarding in a Hearts game too so at one point did know what it stood for I guess. 

 

It's more detailed than Hands, Face, Space but in terms of an easy to remember thing I think you're right, Hands, Face, Space is more effective...despite Bumbling Boris making a hash of it when they launched it 😂

Even in Scotland where a significant proportion of over 80s still haven't been contacted about getting their first jag?

 

They seem to have their act in gear down south with the vaccine while the SG sits with its thumb up its ass.

Is that accurate abiut over 80s iv not followed the vaccination programme structure here or in England. I do know that nonfrontline staff are being vaccinated this week. At least up here. The programme structure is different up here so figures arent very useful for comparison of whonis being targeted surely 🤷🏻‍♂️

WM (Tory) and SG (SNP) pretty much aligned.  Minor nuances wirh restriction type and a few days here or there when restrictions, circuit breakers, lockdowns take place

 

Labour have been calling for a full UK March type lockdown since last October, without managing any of the purse strings.

 

Lib Dems, irrelevant.

The internet was brought up in relation to shops.

 

The internet was brought up in as much that vulnernable people didn't need to go to the shops, all they had to do was go online or get someone else to do their shopping, however for some neither is an option, that's my point I was making.

With reference to your previous post, I've been impressed at how low the case rates in all the Lothians have been recently compared to the national situation. They must be doing something right. And it *is* going to be fun and games when we come out of lockdown and the SG has to decide which tiers the councils go into because we're looking at quite a changed picture in some areas compared to the one we had before we went into lockdown.

cheers i think iv'e asked this before but my in-laws who are in a nursing home had three tests each in the space of ten days all positive does each positive test get counted on a daily basis if so it kind of smudges the number of individual people testing positive. They are fine now think the vaccine helped just prior to xmas.

Yes, but Jambo 4 Ever is saying if you have an exemption you still shouldn't be allowed in, and should instead use the internet. I don't agree with him but not due to people not having internet access. What age group those people are in is neither here, nor there really.

 

Sorry, I assumed you'd read his posts when you picked him up about internet saturation levels.

 

Incidentally, I've seen people of all ages not wearing masks in the supermarket. Younger people either seem to do it, it not at all. Along with no masks, I've seen older people holding hankies and the like up to their face as if that's going to do anything but it is the right side of the rules I guess as it just stipulates a face covering not how it's attached or what material etc it's made out of. 

 

And neither do I agree with him because there are some people who will be genuinely exempt, and whilst it's easy to say well do online shopping or get someone else to do their shopping for them, that won't always be an option for some people, albeit a small minority but there will still be some people who don't have this choice.
