But they obviously don't know that number for the negatives, which is probably not that different.

    It's one thing saving a file incorrectly, it's another having your whole strategy built on wild guesses.
    Problem is they (and the Scottish people) can't afford the hospital admissions, so they are making best guesses what is driving infection rates.

    If you or someone close to you had a serious disease, whether it was chronic or acute, you rather you got treatment then had a drink and/or meal out.

      You are failing to take into consideration that Whinestrone is an arsehole. If he was taking a dangerously ill loved one to hospital, he'd probably stop for a drink on the way.

      Expect to see some sycophantic gushing when Boris introduces similar measures in a week or so.

        But he'd then stay around for a few more drinks.

          This is just complete crap.

          Today there are 319 people in hospital with it, August the 26th there were 250. The number of people in hospital in Scotland have been consistent for about 4 months. ICU admissions are about 2 a day and going down. Deaths are still about 2 a day and also going down.

          On the back of these quite unalarming figures she throws thousands of jobs and businesses under the bus the day they publish her Alex Salmond WhatsApp messages.

            You ignoring the number of needless deaths because people are refusing to go to hospital and the number of other operations/services/treatments not happening because of the risk of infecting people with impaired immune systems with Covid.

            You are welcome on here to start a separate thread about it. However loads of people think Alex Salmond is an arse anyway.

              I want to see the ones that she sends to her girlfriend at the French embassy.

                Probably because they are being scared tulipless over this by hysterical politicians.

                The risk of death now is so low in Scotland from COVID that there should not be any restrictions. 1/2 a day is not worth a whole country getting the gestapo treatment.

                  You ignored the second part of my post about operations/services/treatments being stopped due to the risk of those with impaired immune systems being at higher of risk of catching it.

                  Also Covid patients taking up ICU/HDU beds mean there are no beds left for those who need or may need them after operations and treatments.

                      Scotland increased it's ICU beds from 190 to 700 over the summer.

                      We have 28 COVID ICU patients.

                      Nothing you say is even remotely based upon reality.
