More evidence of the virus only targeting those already really ill. When the numbers are stripped back questions really must be asked why healthy people hid from it and wrecked the economy in the process, the leadership must face enquiries and prosecution if they have blood on their hands.

Because we were told it is deadly and can kill people who are healthy. Data would suggest that it's extremely unlikely to though. The problem nowadays is that because we're in this blame culture and everyone is suing everyone about the smallest thing, even the tiniest of risks to healthy people is being treated as "too risky".  You might hear about a few cases of a young person without any underlying issues getting Covid and dying, and it gets blown across the internet like it's something far deadlier to healthy people. 

We could have shielded the most vulnerable and kept everyone at work and carried on. But the problem is that we can't trust the "healthy" people to not go and spread it to the vulnerable. Plus, it's not really that "fair" to expect someone with Asthma, for example, to lockdown for 5 months while the rest of the world goes out and about, although it is them that's going to suffer if they do...so...at their own risk!

Yeah agree, the daily scare briefing being a prime example of the scare culture that has been allowed to grow. Boris stopped discussing it in detail every day Months ago and they're getting on better than us. We have to put up with a scattergun approach, lock down Aberdeen in a whim yet keep other places open with no reasoning behind it. She doesn't have a clue.

The hospital admissions would suggest otherwise, you're not ignoring facts to suit your agenda I take it? We have almost as many as them despite having a tenth of the population.

The salient point purely, is this... there is an increase in cases but next to no increase in deaths

Allied to that,  the last 5 weeks has seen the lowest total deaths in years 

Why is this?

Simple.

The surge in additional deaths was down to the virus accelerating the death of those who were for the broth pot already

Why, seriously,  do people not get this?

It could be argued the virus did some people a favour, fuck wasting away with dementia, better to get a sharp exit.

Lol, trusting the Tories numbers when they've been going above and beyond to stifle and suppress that information for months as well as looking for little loop holes to try hide the magnitude of their fuck ups.

Ah yes a sharp exit, which for some was 12-16 weeks in a hospital bed in all sorts of pain, lungs fucking up, legs needing amputated and some other horrendous stuff, hud me back.

[manboobs109]

It's no barrel of laughs when they starve alzheimers patients to death(withdraw treatment) either Mini (I've seen it)

Thats the problem in Scotland though, facts don't really matter, most things come down to political agenda and that is where we are failing, a huge lack of facts and consistency

It's health board numbers, nothing to do with politics.

12-16 weeks on pain medication opposed to years being spoon fed and arse wiped not knowing the day of the week or those closest to me, I'd take that.

[minijc]

Fancy linking to those numbers please

Go to Prof Sikora's twitter, you'll get all the details there. I'm at work, don't have time to do google for you but will ink you to the main NHS site, data is all there. No need to thank me.

Minijc,

Have you tried googling how many men die of prostate cancer every day in the UK? Might just stop you being so scared of this bug and give you a new more deadly disease to focus on.

It's killing 16 times more people than Covid in the UK every day, that's just one type of cancer. Do you now see why the majority of us see it as a shamdemic?

Later on today we'll see one of the reasons why the snp are pushing the fear, be prepared for an all new health system that we'll pay through the nose for, this isn't about a flu.

As of yesterday there are 258 people in hospital in Scotland, 764 in hospitals down in England, now you spent the last few weeks telling us all the whole local lockdown was an over reaction and that the cases don't matter because deaths are down and there's barely any hospital admissions, now you're moaning about how shit she's doing, incredible stuff Dayts.

HAHAHAHA as opposed to every single health service being sold off to privatisation by the tories?  Last I checked cancer doesn't pass from person to person but corona virus does and it has a huge impact on people with underlying issues, it's hilarious that you think it's good that it helped kill off some people so they didn't have to suffer through the illness they already had but now you're really concerned for those with cancer, so what is it, is it actually killing people before their time or it all one big 'shamdemic' you need to make your mind up.

 

Also I'm not actually that scared, it's just that I've read up on the virus and the impact it can have on peoples health, my parents are in their 60s, one has issues that combined with the virus could easily be the end of him.  Myself I'm not in the greatest of shapes so I'd rather avoid getting it as I don't want to roll the dice especially when they still don't know what awful lasting effects it can have on the body/mind.

That’s just it, a lot of folk are frozen with fear regards COVID, getting themselves worked up over numbers that keep getting churned out by the MSM that stokes peoples anxieties because there’s never any context to them. So number of cases are going up, but very few are needing treatment now. This seems to be largely down to increased testing including random community testing which is probably picking up more asymptomatic folk who don’t even realise they have it. All this proves is that it was likely more widespread to begin with. Oh but its largely younger people getting it now and can fight it off easier... Maybe, but surely these younger folk would still be passing it on to their elder relatives and we’d be seeing a surge in admissions and deaths? Be nice to see these cases broken down to see where the trends are.

COVID’s now way down the list in terms of deadly illnesses so why are we still persisting with this daily drama when there’s literally dozens more worse diseases and illnesses to be concerned about.

Accelerated further by Sturgeon and Boris shoving covid patients into care homes

School attendance at 86% Unbelievable stuff. Tens of thousands of children missing out on education because of both governments scare mongering.

Rubbish, she's went out of her way to do it her way, that's why we were locked down far longer than England. Every step she did it her way, including putting old people to their deaths.

You've changed your tune, wasn't that long ago you were saying she was copying Boris but just a few weeks later.

[Henry]

I'd guess a good percentage of the missing bairns wouldn't take much encouragement to voluntarily miss some schooling.

I'd imagine it's normally nearer 100%.  Parents can usually be fined for their kids not going to school I think?

This was the biggest failing. They emptied the hospitals of the elderly, some of whom were seriously ill. They were expecting a Covid rush that might exceed capacity and it never came (I'm talking only Grampian NHS here). They were refusing to take the elderly into hospital from both their own homes and care homes, except for absolute emergencies.

I don't think that we can blame Sturgeon however. She was only following a national strategy, imposed by Westminster following "the science", advice given by SAGE, a committee that included Cummings, the son-in-law of a known eugenicist. The building of the hospital at the SECC was also a Westminster-imposed requirement. I find it tragic that some seek to argue that Blowjob done it better than Nicola. Our devolved government never had true autonomy on the biggest issues, the global pandemic (and defence) being too big for our wee country to handle.

This normally make zealots and fanatics see everything through a twisted lens.

You being a cult member will mean your views will be slanted, that's why I stick to facts and keep my opinion out of it.
