  1. Little Christmas puzzle y'all out there - how many mistakes can you spot in this report?

    Covid-19 cases have risen in the last week in England, Scotland and Wales, with an estimated 660,000 infections across the UK between 6-12 December.

    In England, the rise was driven by sharp increases in London, as well as rises in the South East and East Midlands.

    But the proportion of people testing positive in the North West and Yorkshire has continued to fall.

    Roughly one in every 95 people had the virus across Britain.

    Last week's figures suggested about 560,000 people had the virus across the UK - one in 115 people in England, one in 120 in Scotland, one in 175 in Wales and one in 235 in Northern Ireland.

    Covid cases are broadly stable in Northern Ireland with about one in every 215 people testing positive, according to Office for National Statistics (ONS) estimates.

    I can see 2 contradictions and 1 outright error so bad I would expect even an army recruit with a reading age of 5 to be able to spot in between administering lateral flow tests for the virus....
    ....and to think we can have even more fun when we go into Lockdown3.
    PS [mention=7598]Russian Saint[/mention] the correct figure for Covid deaths in Scotland is now over 6,000.

    The number of coronavirus deaths in Scotland has passed the 6,000 mark, according to latest figures.

    National Records of Scotland (NRS) statistics show there were 224 deaths where Covid-19 was mentioned on the death certificate between December 7 and 13, a decrease of eight from the previous week.

    As of Sunday, a total of 6,092 such deaths had been registered in Scotland.

     


    6000. That’s the equivalent of a Saints home game against Celtic or SEVCO. It’s still a drop in the ocean considering it’s over a near 10 month period (if not more) out of the 5.something population, wouldn’t you agree?
    Plus. How many actually died directly from COVID is what we’re not being told.


  2. The R rate in Scotland is currently between 0.7 - 0.9, the lowest it’s been since July going by reports and the death rate in Scotland is at just over 4200, but yet talk of more severe restrictions [emoji848]
    That’s like the equivalent of a Saints home game attendance in terms deaths, in just under 10 months against a population of 5.6 million.
  3. I don't remember reading or hearing him saying that. Can you show or provide a link to anything like you said. [emoji54]


    From The National newspaper.

    Giving more detail on the Sage report, Professor Jason Leitch, the national clinical director, said the first lockdown successfully eliminated around the majority of 300 strains of the virus. He said Covid-19 infections in the second wave were caused by new strains introduced to Scotland from other parts of the UK or abroad: “Once as a society we are allowed to travel again, we brought fresh new strains into Scotland, which started our second wave.”
  4. What's happened to Sweden's coronavirus myth on here [emoji848] seems to have died a death.. I'm guessing it's been brushed under the carpet due to the fact there fatility rate is something like 50 times it's neighbours Finland and Norway. And still rising.. And they have now abandoned their experiment of herd immunity as their country has one of the highest rates of infection in Europe... 
    Where have all the ABBA fans gone 


    All died of Covid.
  5. How can clubs be held responsible for actions of employees while they are not at work ?  The employees did what they did without their clubs knowledge or approval . Once the story came out , the club suspended the pair and informed the authorities. 
    Do you , or the club for that matter know what every one of our players & staff gets up to 24/7 ? 
    Our issues happened while players were at their work and it would appear their employer  ( Out beloved club) has been negligent in their duty of care to their employees. 


    Easy tiger.

    I wasn’t debating what players do 24/7. I put a question out there to which a few responses were received. I hadn’t been following the story WRT the two SEVCO players, but I would argue that the clubs do have a responsibility to ensure their staff stick to the rules during these times.....as stupid as those rules may be.
    As others have mentioned. What’s the difference between car sharing and celebrating a goal with 11 players clambering all over each other.
  6. Thought I'd start another matchday thread given we've won the last 2 I've started.
    Would be great if we can do the double over Aberdeen next week, but I imagine this game might be more difficult with the Dons having players back. That said, I still think we now have enough about us to give most teams a hard game.
    Saints to stretch their unbeaten run.


    If the Saints win next week then please continue with starting the match day threads. You should then be the only one allowed to do so. If Saints lose next week then be cast out into the darkness, never to start match day threads for eternity [emoji6]
  7. It wasn't a municipal but I won't be naming publicly . I'm surprised too as the club in questions car park was overflowing, so much so the bus was parked 100m or so down the road. 


    At least the bus was following the social distancing rules.
  8. Still living


    I kinda lost touch with a lot of folks as I’d been working overseas. If it’s the same Monkey I’m thinking about his mood could change like the weather. Had a run in with the local constabulary after jumping one of my team mates as he was getting into his car after a game (if it’s the same guy)
  9. I have always known him as a Rangers fan
    Not a bad fitba player but spent most of the time winding folk up
    Mind him playing a Scottish Cup tie against a Larkhall team
    Went to penalties and he scored the winning penalty
    He promptly went over where the Larkhall fans were and went down and blessed himself


    I think I remember him from the 5’s at Pitz, absolute loonball. Did he not pass away a few years ago?
  10. Somebody else trying to make money out the naive and gullible. The sooner the law catches up and starts fining the unregulated media the better. Disappointed Russian Saint. You usually have some decent points to make. 


    Don’t shoot the messenger chap. I should have added a comment when I posted that.
    I didn’t check if the stats in the video matched those in the ONS site, primarily because they would probably have been out of date.
    I’ve watched/listened to many a epidemiologist/virologist etc that have differing views from the so-called SAGE experts.......... but we’re been told they’re all wrong (I’m not referring to you, but the media) and these people are being silenced for expressing their professional views. Who to believe? I don’t trust anything coming out of Downing Street nor from NS. I don’t agree with the lockdowns, but I do believe the vulnerable should be protected.
    Selfish some will say on my part, but maybe that’s down to my circumstances. I have been on my lonesome since the 8th March, that was the last time I seen my wife, no idea when I’ll see her again (her country border has been closed since March 25th) I don’t agree with Bud the Baker for example on Covid, but I wouldn’t slag him off as he is perfectly entitled to his views and opinion. His Covid circumstance/experience is no doubt different to mine, which may or may not contribute to his opinion.
    A bit of a long winded response, but there you go.
  11. Watched the start, he claimed as fact that less than 350 deaths from covid have been recorded in folk under the age of 60.

    He quoted ONS, so I looked at the ONS figures and the first one I seen was the corresponding deaths of males in the age group 15-44. Total 386.


    Why are folk posting these lies.


    On Monday my friend was buried because he contracted covid. He was 56 years of age. I hope, I really do that none of you have to face a widow of this like I have.


    Sorry to hear about your friend chap. For what it’s worth, my cousin has Covid and he’s in a care home (the one at the foot of the braes)
    I believe 15 patients and roughly the same amount of staff have it.
  12. So you didn't actually read my post - whose stats am I gonna give more credence to, a couple of politicians Nicola Johnson/Boris Sturgeon trying to deflect from their incompetence or the ONS who don't have an axe to grind? :byebye


    Those two give politicians a bad name.

    Today’s UK figures.

  13. This is a vaccine that has to be kept at minus 70 or 80 degrees Centigrade. Could be major problems in its distribution.


    It could be stored in the supermarket freezers earmarked for the chlorinated chicken that we won’t be getting.
