Meanwhile, this morning London tube had rush hour numbers and motorways leading in London were slow and tailed back. No it didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted May 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Anyhow, todays number 210, lowest number since 26th March. I wonder if the last couple of days, 268 yesterday, can be sustained although after the flaunting of the rules since Friday might see a rise in the next week or two.

Guest TPAFKATS Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 https://www.audit-scotland.gov.uk/uploads/docs/report/2019/nr_191024_nhs_overview.pdf Have a look at this relating to our under performing NHS. There are elements of it that are linked to insufficient planning affecting overall patient health. I happen to believe that the government should be spending more time sorting out the ills of the NHS, than rattling on about Indy 2. Only the most obstinate individual would deny that it is possible that the insufficient level of planning for the current pandemic, given that it is a health related issue, could have been down to time being spent on IMO, less important Independence matters. IMO you are clutching at straws unless you can show that health secretary, first minister or wider government were neglecting their contingency planning duties for the pandemic by focusing on independence. NHS performance prior to this is a completely unrelated issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They now seem to understand where it came from - it seemed a random, inexplicable happening for it to 'suddenly' arrive in that location on Skye.

On the "have the SNP handled the pandemic well?" question - I'd say initially no but I think the convergence of the three smaller regions of the UK at the weekend put the brakes on BJs plans to relax the lockdown which has to be a good outcome. Certainly NS seems to be more "on top of her brief" than the parade of Tory Ministers down south! All the hard decisions are ahead for Sturgeon. Very difficult to come out of lockdown. Lets see where Boris is when all the noise has gone away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How you must miss going to Spain in a chocolate aeroplane. 😃 I can only hope that my susceptibility to Covid will be based on the mental age of my humour and not by my years on the planet.

Lockdown is something that happens due to the pandemic. Again, it's a seperate issue altogether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I support independence, but I think the Scottish Government performance on this has been exposed. When you get behind the spin, their performance has, IMO, been almost as lamentable as the clown shoes government in Westminster. Lack of PPE, lack of testing, lockdown rules that don't make sense, financial "support" that is a mirage. Sturgeon talks better and gives off an aura of being more competent, but it doesn't mean she's doing a good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree the NEW lockdown rules seem to have been rushed out and badly communicated but they are essentially what other countries have done. My biggest issue, and I know I've said it a few times, is that the UK are still having high numbers so, IMO, the time is not right. Financial support that is a mirage? I, along with 6 million people, are getting 80% of their salary, which is far from a mirage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Errors have been made, some having more impact than others but it's a no win situation as some people are only highlighting the errors, ignoring the positives. No surprise really, it's what some people do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
