The changing parameters of science based advice has genuinely been a source of angst. As a manager, I have a team to pass fact based information on to. If the advice I am given is continually contradictory, how am I supposed to make informed decisions? What that has to do with any other forum user, I cannot fathom. Very strange comment.

Hospital, MARGINALLY rising, still very low (About half what they were just about a month ago) ICU, DROPPING. (All the above in Scotland) Still a problem, so much so England will be dropping ALL restriction within a few weeks, that includes mask wearing. Only a problem if you want it to be a problem, not for me. Quite a few of my family have caught it within the last 3 weeks, slight sore head, lacklustre for a day or two, aye, that's a problem. Again hospital numbers up ,over the 1000 mark ,and ICU numbers up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICU RISING? Away and have a look at yourself. I noticed that FACT cases are dropping doesn't suit whatever agenda you have so you failed to mention them?

faraway saint Posted February 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Meanwhile England lead the way again, all restrictions will be history later this week. Roll on, can't wait to burn the fecking mask. Although the malingerers will miss the "isolation" rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not over despite what Boris says ! Jeezo, yes there are a SMALL, far too many zero's for my calculator to show as a percentage of the population, amount of people who will get "hit for six", not seven. The NUMBERS in ICU are averaging 11 over the last week. For every anecdotal story you provide I could give you ten that gives an opposite version, next to no effects, vastly different from the first variant, before vaccinations. It's not over, it's firmly in the cold/flu bracket and, unless another variant comes along, and even that is unlikely to cause the devastation the first wave did, we are getting on with life, well, most of us are. I'm not quite sure what you're aiming at, continued restrictions, more restrictions? How many people do you know that, mask wearing apart, are following ANY restrictions? (I'm not even sure there are ANY restrictions bar masks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems you are the only person still quaking in their boots, even wee Nicky has dropped vaccine passports and "Burn your mask" day is only 4 weeks away. You are perfectly entitled to stay as cautious as you choose, after 21st March Covid will be a distant memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cumbriansaint72 Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 At least she is a bit more sensible opposed to daft boris trying to redeem himself🙄. As for burn your mask day, as well we all know there is an element that would look for any reason not to wear one so for them it will seem like a moronic victory😡😡😡 In saying that I'm going to have to wear one at work again....................too many people can see I'm calling them all w*****s😂😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnecessary restrictions since December and last to see we're at the stage that we should, and will, learn to live with covid. Sorry mate, plenty have been scunnered by the over cautious approach, which has caused damage to business's while having NO effect on the numbers. As for the small minority who have been behaving like arses about masks, who cares, the majority, myself included, have, and will still wear a mask, until it's officially decided we don't have to wear them.

History will judge which home nation handled the pandemic better. Scotland certainly have the stronger comparable figures on protecting the population against the virus. I am also not seeing any data that suggests England protected businesses or the economy from damage more than the other three home nations.

You do know that if there is only 1 case, 1 Hospital admission ,1 ICU admission. & 1 death tomorrow , that will mean the totals will go up . Taking one day , two days , even a week as a snapshot will not give a full and clear picture. You have to look at a slightly longer timescale to give a true picture. Although there has undoubtedly been a rise in positive tests, in the past while, there has been a plateau or very slight fall in Admissions , the trends over the last month has seen a significant reduction in the ICU & Death rates.

All fairly obvious, and even with the slight rises, the actual numbers are so low that they, acknowledging that every death is tragic, are insignificant for the population as a whole. To look into the numbers deeper would probably show the majority are in the vulnerable group of people or unvaccinated.
