I was referring to the Covid vaccines but you bash on.

[manaliveits105]

judging by Chief Mammies health secretary Yusuf's interview with Martin Guisler this morning looks like we are going to be controlled for a lot longer than our neighbours - brings up there might be another variant  ffs ! - of course there might but are we going to hide just in case - snp absolutely inept worst administration in living memory .

[Captain Sausage]

Case count a complete waste of time now. 
 

Anecdotally, my wife caught covid and is isolating at home until we get the 2 negative tests. But we haven’t informed anyone in government about it - no idea how we’d even go about doing so. 
 

i imagine this is going on across the country now.

You inform the NHS by scanning the qr code on the test kit.

This is probably quite common.  But anyone with health vulnerabilities or of older age would still be advised to immediately register their positive tests.  A lot of people are eligible to get the various at-home anti-viral drugs.  These need to be taken in the first few days after a test to be effective.  So registering results is essential in order to get access to these drugs.

I think you are right, as it seems that a lot of people are not reporting positive LFTs, although they may still be isolating.

 

The more accurate picture of case rates probably comes from the weekly ONS infection survey which is published weekly on a Wednesday.  The latest report shows that infection rates remain pretty high, N Ireland 1 in 13, England 1 in 19 and Scotland and Wales both 1 in 25, while the daily numbers appear to be falling steadily, particularly in England.

[Victorian]

Daily cases are starting to fall again but so is the daily count of registered tests.  The daily count is still a reasonable indicator but the surveillance figures are much more reliable.

To be honest everything is really back to normal and no one caring what sturgeon ect say anymore. 
Mask wearing is getting less by the day and if they don’t drop it in next few weeks then come the summer I can’t see many people wearing masks anymore

We will wait and see. This might be the usual tactic of saying what the Scottish Government wants to do and then a short while after doing exactly the same as the UK Government on the basis that to do otherwise would be detrimental to the Scottish economy as people in Scotland will simply travel to England for leisure, shopping etc to avoid restrictions.

 

Personally, we have had this for 2 years now and I know the risks and while covid rates are so high I will take precautions, including wearing a masks indoors where appropriate, regardless of what any Government says. I am an adult and I can make adult choices, and if there is one thing that has really got on my goat throughout this whole pandemic is the way that the public in Scotland has been patronised and talked down to.

You must be awful sensitive 

[ri Alban]

As soon as some says"I'm an adult" they should be assigned a carer.

When I have to say 'I'm an adult', it usually means that I am being patronised or told what to do by someone that I have no respect or trust in whatsoever. But anyway, it would be great to get a carer on the basis of your assessment. That would absolve me from having do do all the adult things that I don't want to do and allow me to do all the adult things I want to do with the freedom of diminished responsibility.   

[Ray Gin]

I'm an adult, why should I have to pass a driving test? You can't tell me how to drive, I'll decide for myself!

It strikes me as a bit strange that England, Wales and now Northern Ireland are all easing restrictions and the SG seem to be thinking along the lines of keeping them.

It strikes me as a bit strange that England are planning on scrapping all of their restrictions but we haven't heard from any health advisers to explain the science supporting this decision.

Where are Whitty and Valance?

Would it be too much to ask them to test the kids for natural immunity before they take the jabs. Would be my preferred approach. 

 

I will read further into this, but right now my very healthy and active primary school kids won't be having one.

We all know how the SNP work. It will be offer initially, then overtime kids who do not take it will become pariahs from society as the SNP machine cranks up to exclude them from doing certain things.

Kids have the strongest immunity hence hardly any deaths of children from it . It’s complete nonsense to roll this out but it keeps the covid band wagon on the road for her and the SG and deflects from that other  “ burning “ issue (Indy2)

It is not your decision if they get vaccinated or not, you aren't the one telling people if they should or shouldn't vaccinate their children are you? I thought that was "chief mammy".

And now they are going to be given that choice, previously there was no option to get vaccinated, unless clinically advised to do so in a small number of cases.
