Paris and Madrid is like quoting Leeds and Manchester, choosing a small area to prove a point.

 

Paris - 2.148m - 45% of entire population of Scotland

Madrid - 6.618m - 120% of entire population of Scotland

 

Maybe true of Paris but Madrid?

Relevant to the population of Scotland isn't really important, more relevant to the population of the country?

As I pointed out, which you've omitted, these figures are relevant to their country, not Scotland. 

Ach TBH I don't give a feck, well past being fed up with the situation.

With increased restrictions you'd have thought hospitals would be busier than normal. 
Not in Ninewells, a relation is in today for surgery, the hospital, from the reception, corridors, waiting rooms and ward, is like a ghost town. 


To be fair, it is likely that most patients will be in the other wards. :)

Herd immunity call backed by British academics

People who are less vulnerable to the effects of Covid-19 should be allowed to return to normal life, a group of British experts has said.

A new declaration, which is earning thousands of signatures from medical professionals, academics and the general public, calls for a herd immunity approach to tackling the Covid-19 pandemic while protecting the most vulnerable populations.

Academics from the universities of Oxford, Nottingham, Edinburgh, Exeter, Cambridge, Sussex, York, St George’s University of London, Strathclyde, Leicester, Queen Mary University of London and the University of East Anglia are among experts from around the world who have signed the declaration.

So what percentage of the medical professionals back this idea ?

Ok, to be fair you don't know how many are in "other wards", likely or unlikely. 
Oh, ok, a ward each, brilliant. :byebye
I don't need to know how many are in the other wards. In a hospital with many wards it is exceedingly unlikely that most patients will be in any one particular ward and, therefore, it is likely that most patients (given that there are very few outpatients at the moment) will be in the other wards, irrespective of which ward you are talking about.

It's all Alcohol's fault !

If you didnt feel as if you're being treated as a moron, you are now !

Feckin' ridiculous.

Aye right cause alcohol makes you more likely to follow the advice ?

The advice is in place so we can get time at Xmas and you can drink as much as you want then, otherwise Xmas and New Year are OFF.

Maybe if society drunk a bit less alcohol we would all be in a better place ?

The issue of care homes is a difficult one.

The governments, deservedly so, got it in the neck for failing to protect residents at the start of this shitfest.

Now they've become prisons, the visits that are allowed are inadequate and are having serious health issues for residents and family alike.

What to do, rightly so, governments are shitting themselves after the early disaster.

Testing for family could be an answer to allow them to have the same contact staff have?

It's hard enough not seeing family but that is magnified when they are ill.

Tragic for everyone. :(

Agree with most of the post.

However I just think views like this are so contradictory from people that also believe further restrictions should be curbed (or existing ones even removed). UK has went from 7- 12 daily deaths on average to around 51-53 in a month. This despite multiple and deep impacting restrictions to our lives. Does that number stop increasing if we start to remove/ don't implement more restrictions? Of course not. 

If people are wanting more of a return to normality, you can kiss any kind of real contact with the vulnerable goodbye. That's part of the reason why so many scientists have been critical of this open letter floating about.
