  1. I It seems to me that, while oaky's head may be stuffed full of scientific knowledge, all of the common sense has been ejected.
  2. Can you tell me why your graphs compare the up to date figures for everything but the XS death rate. How can you compare the XS 2 months ago with today's test and incidence figures?
  3. Who decided to hold the referendum?
  4. Perhaps if you had said "met" instead of "laid eyes on" everyone would have known what you meant! As for your final sentence, it looks like you made it up. Isolationism is not what Scioland and the SNP is about.

  6. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2777389 Key Points Question What is the effect of ivermectin on duration of symptoms in adults with mild COVID-19? Findings In this randomized clinical trial that included 476 patients, the duration of symptoms was not significantly different for patients who received a 5-day course of ivermectin compared with placebo (median time to resolution of symptoms, 10 vs 12 days; hazard ratio for resolution of symptoms, 1.07). Meaning The findings do not support the use of ivermectin for treatment of mild COVID-19, although larger trials may be needed to understand effects on other clinically relevant outcomes.
  7. If you click on the Peace with God section you can read about his Road to Damascus moment. A very odd individual.
  8. I did not suggest that it was exclusively a Rangers issue; the Ibrox "demonstration" just happened to be fresh in my mind. What I said was "I can't , however, condone the behaviour of groups like those Rangers fans who gathered outside Ibrox yesterday.
  9. I, too, was a doctor, although only a humble GP for nearly 40 years before I retired, and was a schoolboy at the time of the Asian Flu pandemic in the late 1950s. By some freak of nature I was the only boy in my class of 36 who did not contract the disease. The Hong Kong flu pandemic of 1968 occurred just after I started ii GP and I remember that our practice of 4 GPs often had over 100 requests for home visits per day. (Yes, those were the days when home visiting still happened). I don't remember large numbers of deaths. Hospitals were not overwhelmed. For me the striking thing about today's pandemic is the numbers of serious illness and deaths, and in view of my age and 50+ years of living with type 1 diabetes I have been taking sensible precautions as advised. I can't , however, condone the behaviour of groups like those Rangers fans who gathered outside Ibrox yesterday.
  10. i assume he was moaning about the fact that no defender made any attempt to stop him shooting.
  11. 4 weeks tomorrow since my wife and I had our Astra Oxford vaccine and neither of us has had any reaction, not even a sore arm. I have had Flu vaccine for more years thanI dare to remember, HepB vaccine several times before I got a response, smallpox vaccine at least twice and yellow fever vaccine all without reaction. Only typhoid vaccine caused me any problems and then only a sore arm for a couple of days.
  12. You know for a fact that the other 10 countries have given an assurance that they will allow spectators?
  13. I had forgotten Bobby Pender. He was a con man of the highest degree and lasted a very short time. He now calls himself a hyperbaric expert (https://oxyhelp.eu/testimonials/hyperbaric-oxygen-therapy-expert/) but has been censured for calling himself Doctor (https://www.asa.org.uk/rulings/hyperbaric-oxygen-therapy-ltd-a17-383407.html)
  14. My recollection was that Andy Dinning succeeded Bobby Holmes and Eddie McDonald was a coach and looked after the reserve team.
  15. The fact that you are attributing his present illness to his Covid vaccine simply confirms that you really have no idea what you are talking about.
  16. As one of my science teachers used to say, "Only a man with half an eye and a cork one" could fail to see what is obvious.
  17. When I attended the JNI in the 1950s we always knew it as the Monaco. It was notionally out of bounds for school pupils but many were undeterrred by this prohibition.
  18. It seems logical that if someone dies in an ICU while suffering from Covid then Covid played a large part in the death. As most of the Covid deaths are in older people it is likely that they would have other chronic diseases, hence the reason for the small number of certificates with Covid as the sole cause of death. In addition if a young person died of kidney or respiratory failure secondary to Covid infection Covid would not appear as the sole cause.
  19. What in hell was he trying to do? Welsh was running back towards his own goal.
