Re: Coronavirus
I am starting to wonder if the booster is as effective at stopping infection as they are claiming. Up until now the amount of people I knew who had caught Covid was in single figures, but in the past week or so everyday I hear of 2 or 3 having it and they have all had the booster. They all seem to only have cold like symptoms, so maybe the booster is keeping serious illness at bay.

Re: Coronavirus
Still 'only' 90k new cases reported today, hasn't leapt to 100k plus as was possibly expected.

And that should include the weekend reporting lag. Great stuff. Let's all hit the pub.Smendrick Feaselberg wrote: ↑Tue Dec 21, 2021 4:02 pm Still 'only' 90k new cases reported today, hasn't leapt to 100k plus as was possibly expected.

Re: Coronavirus
My sister in law has it, as does my youngest daughter. Both say they feel like they have a bad cold. One has had booster, one not.

Re: Coronavirus
No new restrictions before Christmas, but BoJo doesn't rule them out afterwards.

Re: Coronavirus
No football fans from Boxing Day in Scotland for 3 weeks.
There is a little confusion, because the FM announced 500 attendees at outdoor events, but then also said no spectators at football matches.

It's all kicking off on the Radio Clyde Superscrotesboard phone in. The Old Scum fans are bleating about football fans being punished by Nicky.StillSpike wrote: ↑Tue Dec 21, 2021 5:20 pm No football fans from Boxing Day in Scotland for 3 weeks.

Luckily the Motherwell CEO called in to inject some sanity into the ongoing farrago of imbecility. He says they should bring forward the winter break. Sounds sensible and Sellik and the Hi Bees are in agreement.
No word from Sevco yet probably because they are trying to work out where to get £10 million to compensate Sports Direct after they went behind their back and cheated on the deal they had for selling Sevco tat.

Re: Coronavirus
Interesting that daily infections seem to have plateaued somewhat…
Any ideas on the reason? People not testing before Xmas so they don’t mess up plans? People putting their own restrictions in place to avoid messing up Xmas plans? Or it’s not as transmissible as predicted?

Re: Coronavirus
Testing is up 24% in the recent 7 day figures so not just that. Think I recall the boosters are much quicker to take effect, though dont quote me on that. Plus maybe people are taking it more seriously this time.Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Tue Dec 21, 2021 9:11 pm Interesting that daily infections seem to have plateaued somewhat…

Re: Coronavirus
The Welsh Government made going to work a crime on Tuesday, introducing a £60 fine for anyone unnecessarily travelling to the office.
The Labour administration in Cardiff said the new fixed penalty notice was being introduced to curb the spread of Covid-19 and the omicron variant. But critics pointed out that Welsh people can currently legally still visit a pub, shop or restaurant but effectively be criminalised for going to work.
The union GMB said it would affect "the poorest, most vulnerable workers" while the TUC said it was "at best naïve" to think responsibility is shared.

With the high cost of parking at hospitals, this could prove expensive

Re: Coronavirus
personally think that'll be more likely that you won't be able to go to that game as there's some sort of circuit breaker from 26th or 27th for a couple of weeks.tuffers#1 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 21, 2021 11:12 pmall ticket now so buy in advance .Ronnie Hotdogs wrote: ↑Tue Dec 21, 2021 10:39 pmI thinking of going Col Utd for this exact reason.

Re: Coronavirus
106k cases reported today, with deaths and hospitalisations still pretty level.
The full impact on deaths and hospitalisations won't take effect for a good few days still, but you'd expect to start to see things go up by now. Hopefully this is good news.

Re: Coronavirus
On that note, over 1million people vaccinated today, with approx 970k being boosters.
