I know 2 or 3 folk who regularly blast a few lines at the weekend who are big on the experimental vaccine propaganda.

 

Happy to fire plant food, rat poison and god knows what else up their beak at any given opportunity but shout from the rooftops about a vaccine designed to save their lives 😂

 

 

Yes but least you can have a good time on them !

6 days now of the total daily infections being very similar.  Rate has crept up a bit but not by much.  The next week will be interesting.

Suppressed for now.

This virus isnt done by a long shot.

Not suggesting all doom but it has a mutation rate that's impressive.

And no I'm not hiding in the house .

Sister drove to Dalkeith at 11am this morning from Musselburgh as that was the closest pcr testing site, she arrived to be told they had run out of test kits 😂😂 

Well they did have a few left but had to keep them for people would had already booked an appointment today but if you just turned up they had no tests left and were turned away

We booked ours with Boots. First slots were mid October for our nearest Boots which is in Stirling.

 

Ah, think I'm with you now, I'm assuming that's not through the NHS, hence why you need to book the jab.

I see Australia has turned its back on it's covid zero approach.

 

Seems an odd choice given I read on here it was such an excellent strategy.

It was, that's why they were the last developed nation to reach a thousand deaths, last week. All those lives saved, brilliant.

 

Their plan is to start easing restrictions in a couple of months once they get to 70% vaccination coverage, open borders at 80%

It was a reasonable strategy based on the belief that the vaccines would,  not only protect people,  but also have a much better sterilising performance.  Newer variants have knocked that for six.

What's their plan to suddenly make people want the vaccine they've been refusing for months?

 

Their initial approach was great. We should have done it. They also should have then dropped it and went with vaccines months and months ago.

They're vaccinating faster than we did at our peak just now BTW

I was reading this earlier.

The first time I'd looked at how their vax rollout was going, and the last I'd heard it was very slow, but they are indeed going very fast now.

their rollout started slow as lots of them were refusing the AZ vaccine and waiting for the pfizer one but at that point they had none or very little of the pfizer vaccine. that most likely has now changed

How many of the "saved" lives have or had sadly passed away from other causes?  

The entire population have lost nearly 2 years of their lives due to a flawed strategy that now sees them painted into a corner.

Got Covid despite being double vaccinated. Would like to take a break in the sun to aid recovery but hearing that people can still test positive weeks/months after recovering from Covid even though they’re no longer infectious. So how do our travel rules take account of this?
 

Take care of yourself.

Always wondered how many positive tests are picking up non infectious "cases".

Lateral flow far more accurate for capturing those who are infectious.

The oversensitive PCR was never intended for the purpose for which it is being used.

Great for boosting daily "case" numbers though.

Here we go again. Getting on for double the cases we had a week ago, and a big increase in ICU/hospitalisations.

 

Scottish numbers: 6 September 2021

Summary

• 7,065 new cases of COVID-19 reported [+697; up from 3,893 a week ago]
• 52,193 new tests for COVID-19 that reported results [+4,160]
  • 14.5% of these were positive [+0.3%]
• 0 new reported death(s) of people who have tested positive (noting that Register Offices are generally closed at weekends) [=]
• 71 people were in intensive care yesterday with recently confirmed COVID-19 [+10]
• 771 people were in hospital yesterday with recently confirmed COVID-19 [+52]
• 4,126,263 people have received the first dose of the Covid vaccination and 3,736,762 have received their second dose [+4,301; +9,993]

[Victorian]

Cases a bit up on the last few days.  Rate the same as yesterday.  Just need to see the next few days I suppose.

That is a serious jump in hospitalisations.  

 

Rapidly heading towards 1000

The cases are fairly cyclical during the week. Monday's figures are usually a good bit lower due to it essentially being the reporting of the Sunday stats.

Yeah.  It jumped on Tuesday last week.  We'll see tomorrow and Wedn. 

[Victorian]

There's been about 40,000 cases in the last week.  It stands to reason a couple of hundred would end up in hospital.

Rural places like argyl & bute and highlands have the same amount of cases as Dundee etc.  

That wasn't the case a few months ago.  

[Victorian]

Maybe most of those hospital presentations are them non-infectious,  over-sensitive PCR test positive returns...

 

Oh no,  hang on...

Question re hospitalisation figures.  A mate of mine was admitted on Friday with blood clots on lungs but treated and let out on Saturday evening.  They've been struggling since getting Covid about 3 weeks ago.

 

Are those overnight stays included in the figures or is it the number of people who are currently occupying a bed?

Doesn’t matter how people view this epidemic and how we are dealing with it, bottom line is, the consequences of rising numbers will affect everyone, not only people who are concerned by them.

It’s how far they go before the powers that be react.

A bit of that and I forget that helensburgh and Dunoon have relatively big populations.  With them being close to Glasgow, that might be having an impact as well.  

It would be good to see more of a breakdown of these figures within a region.   I suppose not that easy giving us that type if data.

That's what was suspected to have happened back last December when the Borders and D & G went down to tier 1 whilst the central belt stayed at tier 3, there was a huge influx of people coming down here for the pubs etc.

And two to three weeks later the Borders and D & G seen a huge increase of cases, so much so that within a month or so we were at the top the infection case table.

 

So yes I'd say tourists have probably played a part.

They are. That's why hospitalisations didn't rocket well over 1000 weeks ago and we're not in lockdown.

Watching the debate from the house of commons, nobody on the Tory benches are wearing masks and the labour benches are al masked up.

Who said this isn't political

And that's what many just don't get, that without the vaccines we'd be completely up shit creek with this Delta variant.

You just need to look at countries with low vaccination rates and see how this Delta variant is running rampant through them.

Cheers. First person I've known of to go in to hospital for such a short length of time (Covid related, others have been in for weeks) and wondered if there was a limit such as had to have been in for 48 hours or something to be counted in the figures.
