Just because it doesn't tie in with the consistently deliberate mixed messages from London doesn't mean to say its pessimistic. 😊 Here WO, NS and Scottish government are so despicable and psychotic they set someone up, why would they care what happens to everyone else. Or they didn't and they have everyone's best interests at heart. They should just sell everything to their friends without going thru the proper procedures, like Hancock and Cummings and no one would give a feck.

The fact they are talking about going back to their tier system reinforces doubt in their intentions. As long as they get schools open to hell with everyone else.

Cashing in on a pandemic whilst sending out deliberate mixed messages to a country with the highest death rate just about anywhere is nothing compared to Nicola Sturgeon has yet to be directly accused of, whatever indeed that it.

I'm just back from a jaunt down the A1, and I passed three fully loaded campers with bikes and families. Lockdown's over. The only thing they are restricting now is face to face economic activity. I was in my local Tesco yesterday and a number of people inside the store had their facemasks down around their necks. It doesn't look like people give a shit any more. Lockdown fatigue has set in.

It doesn't look like people give a shit any more. Lockdown fatigue has set in. I was in local Morrison's this morning and every single person, staff and customers had mask on properly. Looked as if people did give a shit as far as I could see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Dan Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 The announcement follows more good news as new findings reveal just one vaccine shot reduces the risk of being hospitalised by Covid-19 by more than 90 per cent. Public health officials have told Ministers that the remarkable results apply for both the Pfizer and Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine, with the British jab proving slightly more effective.

Victorian Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I don't think anyone should be hindsighted about not realising the gravity of the situation at the very start. Nobody really knew what would happen. I remember suspecting it was going to be really bad whilst hoping it would somehow be sorted out quickly. On a related note... I think if I had known 12 months ago that we would have today's state of play I would have been very disappointed. 6 months ago and today's state of play, probably quite pleased. I wonder what the state of play in 6 or 12 months time projected back to today's date will feel like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a year old post flung back in my face as well, a post I wrote before Covid-19 was.......well Covid-19, it hadn't been named yet. Like you say, most people didn't know feck all about this thing a year ago, and that'll also include a lot of scientists & medic's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo Chiefo Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 1 hour ago, jonesy said: Well, that's what you get if you shop with the lower classes, Frank. But yes, even previously cautious people have had enough. Kids have been mucked about and don't know what's going on. Teenagers have had their school and sporting efforts shrugged at. And working age adults have had their livelihoods threatened or destroyed. As I've said before, anyone now continuing to follow all CV19 rules are the ones doing the harm unto themselves and their loved ones. Sure, keep a bit of space from folk and I wouldn't be organising any house parties any time soon. But not leaving your council area? Not meeting up in groups to go into the great outdoors? Not having a cup of tea or a beer in your neighbours' or pals' garden in the early Spring sunshine? Aye, right! Get out into the beautiful country that we are fortunate to live in, and make the most of it. As has become evident, there are those only too eager to restrict our right to do so. Yes, I agree with a lot of what you say, Jonesy. I fully understand people being fed up and fatigued with lockdown. It's good to see everyone out and about, in parks, queuing for takeaway coffee, walking, running, cycling etc. ..all within the rules. I just hope everyone keeps following most of the rules for another few weeks through March and possibly early April. Wearing masks, washing hands etc. We really are nearly done with this and from May onwards, I think we are more or less back to normal. No more tier systems, 6.30 close for hospitality, no alcohol, substantial meals etc. Despite lockdown and huge restrictions on people's liberties, we are still the worst country in the world for deaths. The messaging has been far too negative and the policies focussed on removing all risks instead of adopting sensible measures that reduce most risk while respecting the common sense that most people possess. The data is all very encouraging and the cases/hospitalisations/deaths are all plummeting. If everyone can just keep taking sensible precautions for a few more weeks, we're outta this imo.

Apologies for any errors - my head isn't quite in it at the moment. To the person yesterday who said that they preferred to see the least infected council areas at the top, I suggest you turn your screen upside down for complete satisfaction. The numbers are good - a good fall in the 7-day cases stat, another drop in the positivity rate, non-ICU hospitalisations carrying on downwards (now lower than it was before the festive surge), some good reductions in several council areas, and no significant local outbreaks visible.

JudyJudyJudy Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 This came up on my Facebook memories from one year ago. Im surprised that I was even thinking about it then. It hit me more on weekend of Friday March 13th appropriate date when things really started to go pear shaped. We were out at " The Rat Pack" and it was packed out. That weekend was the last one before I went into hibernation almost for a few months and bulk bought bleach. I wonder how many infections occurred that weekend and the next as this period of time was definately the epi centre of it I think. Oh well a year on and things are hopefully moving the right way.

I read today that the UK had the worst death rate in Europe and 5th worst in the World. There will be a few countries under reporting deaths, Spain and Italy are 2 in Europe that are being accused. Allegedly Spain's care home deaths were much higher than reported. It will all come out to light when this is over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
