I for one, don’t discount these. Everyone counts or no one counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me make this clear. I acknowledge your right to your beliefs on Covid but I do not share them. This is called Opinions. My belief is that this virus remains as a threat to many both here and overseas and that international travel helps this spread and quickly.

Hospitalisations, remembering well over half are NOT in hospital BECAUSE of covid, are also going down at a steady rate. ICU, steady at around 20 in the whole of Scotland. The tragic deaths averaging just over 20. Considering there are no restrictions the vaccination programme, backed up with better treatment in hospital, is keeping the virus at bay. Average deaths /day this week are 50% higher than last week and cases at 2700 today show it's not going away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cases dropping like a stone and just under 3,000 is a drop in the ocean when the vast majority have little/no side effects. I'll get back to you later, work to do. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are quite intelligent animals. Truthfully, give it a break. People have different opinions. The thing to do is to respect them. We differ on this - that’s fine with me but doing the equivalent of trying to shout people down doesn’t enhance your argument in any way. The virus is still a threat. It hasn’t gone away.

Very philosophical Slarti. The issue is though that opinions are given from the viewpoint of one person where they will no doubt believe them to be valid by whatever measure they use whilst others from their personal viewpoint disagree. To dismiss others views then without respect , in my mind, merely diminishes the individual who does so. Facts help but even there interpretations differ. Lies, dammed lies and statistics is the saying that comes to mind. Also, he who pays the piper calls the tune when it comes to supposedly independent studies.Then again, some opinions are just so outrageous that I might be tempted to agree with you.

Now if, as you have been for the last few months, trying to make these small numbers any more than than they are you really need to have a good look at yourself. Aye, cases are 2,700 but are, since you like to play the percentage game, are DOWN by over 70% in a month. Hospitalisations, surprising you didn't mention these, are also showing a steady fall. ICU, as it has been for a while is still averaging about 20. No, it's not going away, it'll be here along with the flu, for a long while. PS I asked you this before but here we go, what restrictions would you have in place at this point?
