I take it though that covid deaths and IC numbers in GB/Scotland are not reflected in these case stats?
Nowhere near as big a rise.I take it though that covid deaths and IC numbers in GB/Scotland are not reflected in these case stats?
Time is tight but we're holding on...Nowhere near as big a rise.
Combined the number in hospital in Scotland at the beginning of the month was around 100, its now 125ish.
The government and assorted experts seem to be a wee bit shit scared of the Delta variant which, the last I saw, accounted for over 90% of all new cases. Two thirds of new cases over the last week are under 45, some of that population will have received 1 jag not many will have had both jags.
Nope. Never.Anyone think there will ever be a week of 0 new cases?
Up to a whopping 1.03% of the population. Unless you are gagging for more lockdowns, I'd suggest that this is a level we can cope with - in fact, given that we are only talking about "active cases", as opposed to hospitalisations or deaths, I'd say I'm totally fine with this rise, which is inevitable because we are now allowed out of our f**kin houses to live some semblance of our lives again.
You're right.We need a lockdown!
*Joking.
Going on the briefing today we don't need to focus on the case numbers
It's falling! Maybe peaked...
It really doesn't. Has the number of tests performed been consistent across the whole pandemic? No - so numbers of results are really largely irrelevant. Are hospitals/deaths out of control? No. Are numbers of cases still a tiny percentage of the population? Yes.Highest number of positive tests of the entire pandemic in Scotland today. Hopefully shouldn't turn into a big impact on hospitals / deaths but it really feels like it's accelerating right out of control now in terms of case numbers.
Which part of my post are you actually disagreeing with? There's enormous exponential growth in case numbers, that's surely the very definition of "out of control"? Whether that proves to be a big issue or not remains to be seen, hopefully not, as I said.It really doesn't. Has the number of tests performed been consistent across the whole pandemic? No - so numbers of results are really largely irrelevant. Are hospitals/deaths out of control? No. Are numbers of cases still a tiny percentage of the population? Yes.
Folk really have to start accepting that this is the end - because it has to be - and that Covid will just be a part of everyday life from hereon in.
One problem seems to be a lot of people aren't aware that the vaccine doesn't actually stop people getting the virus, health officials should be making people better aware of this.Highest number of positive tests of the entire pandemic in Scotland today.

Or just focus on offering everyone the vaccine and getting on with our lives .One problem seems to be a lot of people aren't aware that the vaccine doesn't actually stop people getting the virus, health officials should be making people better aware of this.
