Matt42 Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) I wonder how much of this little scotlander support Sturgeon can hang onto if Scotland and Scotland only goes into a lockdown. Maybe treating the country like a bunch of bedwetters isn’t the way forward sturgeon? Maybe the public will see through your obvious electioneering. Drop this “I’m more morally virtuous than England bullshit”. Edited December 27, 2021 by Matt42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Fish Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) Pretty sure I've got covid again. Last had it in October and boosted since. Headache and sick weird taste jn mouth. Middle of nowhere - cabin in the woods so no chance of getting a taste. Hope I don't infect the squirrels Brother in law has tested positive who I was with Christmas day Edited December 27, 2021 by Barry Fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zahidf Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 Isn't the guidance not to do a second PCR test 90 days after a positive test, since it will give you a false positive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see it as bedwetters existing really (despite what the Scottish gov think) - more that they think they are scoring morally virtuous points over England by curbing peoples freedoms.

Did take a PCR (negative)even though I'd had negative LFTs. Didn't want to be the guy who meant that housemates and colleagues couldn't go home for Christmas.

It won't be though That thread isn’t all good news (though definitely better than hoped) - further on he makes the point that high incidental rates make managing admissions very difficult. When you have to convert operating theatres to covid isolation wards then you can’t use them for routine or emergency operations. He also mentions the level of staff absence, pressure on community services, already delayed treatments due to covid that cannot be delayed further, and the huge pressure on GPs to deliver boosters over all else. The system will still be creaking, though probably not enough for the government to do anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we all accept the NHS needs our help at the moment, but the individual risk from covid itself isn't the biggest threat anymore Edited December 28, 2021 by efcfanwirral 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moz4pm Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 Just had my PCR test result which confirmed what I already knew. While its certainly unpleasant I'm glad I managed to avoid it for 21 months and after I'd been vaccinated, the virus going round at the moment doesn't seem to be as sinister as the original.
