There has been nearly 50,000 deaths and all some folk can think of is money. Maybe if we had the capability that Germany had for testing, then four fifths of those poor people would still be alive and we'd all be sunning ourselves in Majorca by now. As it is, ScotGov is taking it one step at a time and are doing the right thing under the circumstances. Btw, the RSPA suggest that 30-60 people are struck by lightning each year in Britain, and on average, 3 are fatal. If only we had that level of Covid death.

Aye, because of social distancing and the lockdown. All the epidemiologists have said that minute restrictions are eased and you take the lid off it, the obvious will happen - unless there's a antidote or covid has been completely eradicated. There's even been outbreaks in Beijing this week, months after the last one. They managed to eradicate covid in New Zealand, we're miles off that in the UK _EPL football or not! Deaths may be similar to when we went into lockdown, but that was why we went into lockdown in the first place, deaths should have been well under that level, before the restrictions were even considered being eased. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is even more paranoid unionist bollocks if the highest order. Fk me this is worthy if McLean. It literally took you 1 and a half sentences to use the word Tartan and then another few to start with the SNP bad nonsense. You also ignored the fact that the UK government have had to perform a U turn on some if the things you're advocating the devolved government do. Hypocrisy and absolute nonsense to boot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonbon19 Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 10 hours ago, RAG said: London was well ahead of the curve catching it and had settled down compared to the rest of the country. About 1/5 of Londoners had it but is as low as 4% in English regions. Major outbreaks in Yorkshire, Anglesey and Wrexham only this week, which are probably more comparable with Scotland than a metropolis like London is. That’s my point , London the most densely populated and racially diverse city in the U.K. is 20 days out of lockdown , albeit with social distancing , masks etc and despite the poor messaging from WM , but no spike ? Perhaps herd immunity is a factor ? I read that the deprived inner city boroughs like Tower Hamlets have lower cases per 100k than all of Ayrshire . I genuinely hope that centralised lockdown will not be needed , I realise that localised action may be necessary at certain times but this should allow the economy to get back to some sort of normality which is essential in my view for a lot of people’s mental health . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EKX16 Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) I've been hearing there has been an increase of coronavirus in some parts of England and in Florida bars that were recently opened are closed because of an increase in cases there as well. As far as opening up schools I would err on the side of caution. I think there will be changes to schooling over the coming weeks.

The time constant for the covid-19 virus in human populations is not well understood. Comming out of lockdown means there are still lockdown measures slowing it down. It could be 3 weeks or 3 months. Also the size of the 2nd peak is quite uncertain. It may be so small we dont notice it. I do however note there gas been a bit of an increase in some states in the US which eased the lockdown over a month ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and Inhad the virus (a mild case) but she struggled with her breathing not quite enough for her to be admitted. Now a few months later, she cannot climb a flight of stairs without having to stop at the top to catch her breath. If we want thousands upon thousands of more people to suffer the same then hey lets all just go back to normal, eh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the weeks the death toll has gone down but we can't afford to jeopardize things by being complacent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three days after you stated your concerns, Sturgeon over ruled the hapless Swinney and performed a screeching u turn going from one day a week in some schools to full time. There was no change in the science, just parents telling her how impractical it was for both the children and parents trying to get back to work. She did exactly as Jack McConnell advised and made her existing plan, Plan B. Pity the wasted effort put in by so many people to implement her first plan. East Ayrshire is not changing anything at present in case she changes her mind again. So after you got pelters for “putting lives at risk”, 3 days later it was ok. They’ll never do anything that risks votes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The testing record of the Scottish Government is woeful. It’s always jam tomorrow, exactly the same as the UK, so I’ll assume that’s who your criticising. Folk aren’t just thinking about money, they’re thinking about ordinary people’s jobs. Long term, a huge increase in unemployment will do far more harm than Covid. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
