Pretty revealing figures today.  Especially the fact that average covid death age is older than the average death death

 

Scary stuff. 

 

Probably is quite scary if you are in your 80s then?

You SNP lot are really that stupid ae? Its no about 'the pub being shut' and 'canny get a drink' its about peoples livelihoods at severe risk after an already worrying 7 months for that particular sector especially when they have done everything they can to be Covid secure.

 

But you SNP lot bash on and defend the leader.

Don't know how she leads a country during these times & spends every afternoon on the telly.

Face shields do not give any protection.

The consensus is they are less effective than face masks but far better than someone coughing or sneezing with no mask.

Sneezing in a mask is fairly unpleasant. I took a sneezing fit in the supermarket a few years ago. Not nice.

Yes they woukd say that wouldn’t they ! I’m medical terms a “ case “ is when someone is being treated for an illness . Most if those new infections probably are not Receiving  any  treatment .

Pretty sure the last paragraph is a request / recommendation.  As far as I’m aware there have not been any outright travel bans in the country.

Been advised against and should be adhered to to be honest

My gran is in her 80s and she’s less scared than a lot of people on this thread.  When you hit 80 there is a 10% chance you will die on any given year.

 

 

I think most people at that age realise that they are going to die from something at some point - covid or a multitude of other things.

IF I was the type to let a joint come near me I'd probably take great solace in knowing how swab tests work, that they only detect the traces of THC left on the surfaces of the mouth after smoking, and that a good rinse with Listerine before leaving the house sorts you out.

You would, if the swabs were testing for traces of the drug in your mouth,

they don’t 

they test your saliva 

listerine does not remove drugs from your system

you can still rest +ve days after a joint regardless of dental hygiene

Plenty jobs in other sectors??

 

You are aware theres thousands of unemployed people across the country applying for any job they can get only to not even hear back sometimes because of the sheer volume in the 400/500 range of applicants.

 

You talk some utter shite.

Should have got a skill then eh! Folk are crying out for building trade jobs. Fud!

A quick look at today's per-Health Board case stats shows that Greater Glasgow and Lanarkshire are much greater than other areas:

 

(number of positive cases today per 100,000 pop)

 

Lanarkshire 35

Greater Glasgow 34

Ayrshire & Arran 20

Lothian 17

Forth Valley 11

Borders 10

Tayside 10

Everywhere else <10

I have tried so hard to not comment on this thread again but this post is just one too far for me.  
 

She has not done it better, she has been wrong and spectacularly so.

 

- She clearly advocated an elimination strategy and made pointed political barbs about how Tories should do the same.  And here we are with the highest estimated R rate in the UK

- we suffered a longer, harder, more painful lockdown than RUK on the assurance we would feel the benefit longer term.  That has proved completely wrong as despite the extra pain we are no better off for it.

- People keep praising her for her clarity of message but from what I can see the much vaunted route map is long since abandoned and we are no clearer here than anywhere else in UK.  

 

Boris and the Tories have been shambolic but Nicola Sturgeon has done no better and given we had a longer harder lockdown with no benefit arguably has done worse.  
 

Her being on TV every day in no way makes up for her and her government utter failings.  She has not done a good job, end of.  

 

Could this possibly because she does not have the power to take the measures she wants too. When we were lockdown people could cross the border, borders should have been closed and international travel limited to essential travel.

You could not leave the house except for essential journeys, of for 1 hr exercise per day within 5 miles of your house if I recall correctly .

No.  Stop looking for excuses.

 

When it’s going well it’s all her doing, when it’s going badly it’s because she doesn’t have the tools she needs to do the job and only independence could make it better.

 

It’s shameless, transparent and total nonsense.

As i quoted you earlier, they have to find a common ground between living with the virus and saving the economy/jobs. You can't do one and not the other as it leads to severe problems and right now thats what they are doing trying to suppress a virus that has no known date for a vaccine yet. Simply makes no sense and trying to justify it makes you look rather foolish when all you can say is 'whats yer plan' then.

Think you’ve proved your own point is shite.

 

its about balancing lives and jobs so the government decided that the right thing to do was close down pubs for a while they have kept other industry going. That’s a balance, the setting presenting most risk have been asked to close. Are you stupid? 
 

And asking what other people have in mind as a plan makes the point that any plan is open to criticism!
