Yeah people will always die. 
 

Far less with the vaccine though. That's the point. Always has been.

But the vaccine isn't working. Hence boosters.

For almost 2 years the little cow has said ICU admissions are the key factor in deciding lockdowns or other draconian measures. Only 37 in ICU today and general covid hospital admissions trending down so why do this?

Exactly. I'm sure the hospitality industry in general would accept being open for xmas and hogmanay as normal, then shutting down with support in January. Makes a lot more sense from an economic perspective, especially when this variant doesn't seem to be producing hospital emissions and half the population has already had the booster. 

If hospital admissions go up, then fair enough lock down quicker.

Ruin lives. Control the spread. Meet people inside. Not outside. We don't know what we mean. We have to be seen to be doing something though. Also, vote for us next election. 
 

Did you vote in the last general election?

Just read it. 
 

Yet to be peer reviewed, and it's a new variant, so to base any policy over this is fairly mad IMO.

It is helping people not die as regularly when they get it. 
 

It's the length of coverage that's the problem, not it effectiveness in helping beat it. 
 

Edit; death/ICU rates pre and post vaccine show they work.

So you'd rather risk it, let cases rise, people die and the NHS be overwhelmed just so you can go to the football?

What are they basing policy on? Shitting their fucking punts.

They don't know that though. Nicola explained all that today. We won't know for 3 weeks how the rise in cases will affect hospital admissions and deaths.

With the new variant? 
 

By all accounts it's milder than the Delta or the original, so it shouldn't matter.

That hasn't been proven either.

I'm with you BTW I'd drop all restrictions now but people have to realise this will never go away. There will always be another variant, another booster, another reason to carry this on.

They enjoy it, they've spent all their careers trying to get power, now they have it in unparalleled amounts they'll never give it up.

They said it does. The vaccines are less efficient, hence the boosters.

Wakey wakey

Boosters clearly useless as well

I had my 2nd one in August/September, fuck knows why another now would make any difference, even if they do work which I doubt.

If they worked there wouldn't be restrictions.  They can't have it both ways

Strange take on it.

In what way are they useless?

Some vaccines need booster shots.

[Reed or deed]

Boosters and vaccines not working ?

Leading medical and scientific experts and research and covid data is wrong and made up.

The man in the pub is right instead.

It has emerged ?????

What's strange about it?  We were told vaccination was the way out of this shit show.  Clearly not.

In the way that we won't be going to the football on Sunday.

Oh look it's Mr "nobody dies of flu"

Pipe doon min

[Eugenefani]

There’s a new flu variant every year, what’s the difference now? Put some f*cking funding into ICU’s and staffing so they don’t become “overwhelmed”. No sense in relying on a shoddy vaccine every 3-6 months.

Well boosters are clearly not useless.

 

It's the politicians making a cunt of it not the medicine.

The politicians don't share your confidence in the booster program, clearly.

I’d be amazed if crowds are back anytime in January

Anyone fancy getting merried (til'er) on the 26th and 29th?

Pittodrie would be a lovely venue

I'm ok with the vaccines. 
 

It's the restrictions that are farcical.

Why is the hibs game still on ? What possible logical reason could there be for this being on if large crowds are so dangerous again ??

I think Omicron is on a few days leave but working the weekend onwards.
