The higher rates in the SE of the city appear to correlate pretty well with some of the most deprived areas of the city. The other area around Stenhouse, Chesser is less deprived, but may be connected to any outbreak at HMP Saughton. 'Suppressed' round my manor.

CJGJ Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) Boris proposals...fans from 17/5/2021..up to 10,000 in the stadiums then The fourth step from 21 June will potentially see all legal limits on social contact removed, with the final closed sectors of the economy reopened - such as nightclubs. The government hopes that - from this date - restrictions on weddings and funerals will also be abolished. The four conditions that must be met at each phase of lockdown easing are: The coronavirus vaccine programme continues to go to plan Evidence shows vaccines are sufficiently reducing the number of people dying with the virus or needing hospital treatment Infection rates do not risk a surge in hospital admissions New variants of the virus do not fundamentally change the risk of lifting restrictions Edited February 22, 2021 by CJGJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo Chiefo Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 1 hour ago, Nucky Thompson said: Surely Sturgeon isn't going back to the failed tier system "Case" levels shouldn't inform decisions. In England, it's hospitalisations, deaths and vaccines that will be the important measures. Hopefully the daily case numbers do not need to be reported and we juat accept that there always be community transmission. Soon, the podium can be safely put back into cold storage 😎The tier system needs ditched too, especially when it was underpinned by fear about neighbouring tiers travelling.

Shooter McGavin Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 So Boris is announcing the possibility of being back to normal by 21st June. That means we’ll probably be in a much better position than them by that time and we’ll be looking to be back to normal by, I don’t know, August or September?

Costanza Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 4 hours ago, Enzo Chiefo said: Doesn't matter if it's contagious. It is far more serious, for most, than Covid and early diagnosis is important. The vast majority of Covid "cases" experience no or mild symptoms. The vaccine will protect the most vulnerable. Unfortunately we don't have those options for those with cancer. The ONS stats suggest from ages 2 onward, 13% and rising experience symptoms for over 5 weeks i.e. Long covid. That still leaves a vast majority with mild symptoms but 13% minimum is still a potentially huge amount of people. I hope I'm wrong and can be seen to be overly cautious but I am still of the mind that we accelerate vaccines to as many as people as possible and transmission rates are negligible before we fully open up. It's just a hunch but I think by allowing covid to spread significantly through the population we are going to suffer significant public health impacts for years to come. That doesn't make me a lockdown zealot (I hate lockdown) but the announcement today from Johnson seemed more political than science led, which I think is mistake but guess we'll see.
