Yeah but if the vaccine works what's the problem as NEM says.  Why would you make it mandatory? People who need it take it, job done.

Agreed

 

Disagree. Nobody should be coerced into taking it under fear of losing their job. If those that are susceptible have had it then there shouldn’t be a problem 

I can see both sides of the argument. No vaccine will be 100% effective, but having both parties have the vaccine would massive decrease the risk

1.048 million vaccine doses given so far in Scotland. Circa 63k yesterday. 23% of the adult population (according to Sturgatron)  

Vaccination numbers trending the right way but we need them to go up rapidly to get a chance of a normal domestic summer. Hopefully the daily vaccination numbers continually to accelerate upwards.

We'll be telt theres a Dundee variant or some shite before summer and it will be cancelled IYAM

Can see the percentage figure straight lining for a while as people start getting the second doses. 

I actually have my doubts over the 23% figure, not doubting the amount of vaccines but don't think 23% of the population are over 75. Will already be a lot getting their second one.

Edit; have looked it up, it's actually probably correct, I retract my doubt.

Get those vaccinated already sorted with their second dose and there’s absolutely no reasonable excuse for not ending lockdown 

 

Those numbers should indicate light at the end of the tunnel

I wonder if arseholes like Klaus Schwab and the rest of the 1% are going to volunteer to go first with the “you’ll own nothing and be happy” bullshit?

No chance.

Sturgeon just said don't book holidays in the Uk or abroad for the summer.

Numbers across the board all down.

Perce rate of positivity down to 4% which according to WHO it is under control.(Before madnobby comes on that's not the group)

It's a joke.No encouragement of any easing of restrictions.

 

[Zeus]

Numbers now under 50 per 100k here. 

Open everything up

This is what happens when the left get too much power, the whole woke thing is just the beginning, soon no opinion will be allowed.

Apart from vaccines not being totally effective and unknown nature of whether people who're vaccinated can still transmit the virus.

They do to me. We're vaccinating fairly rapidly (if they can keep yesterday's numbers up everyday, that's 440k a week), so are hopefully on the road to normality (with the obvious exception of international travel).

We’ll never be out of lockdown then - there’ll always be an excuse.

We're holding steady at 13 new cases in Aberdeen, lot of areas have no reported cases the last 7 days. Looks like we'd almost have it wiped out if it wasn't for a small outbreak in Culter.

Falkirk and Glasgow still a stain on the regions map, how are they getting it so wrong. Maybe just a lack of basic hygiene.

And they probably have about 15 people in a one bed flat

The advice is even if you are vaccinated you still need to behave like you have covid.

Makes sense ?‍♂️

Fucks the point in spending billions on vaccinations if nothings going to change ?

If we are good though, might get out for a picnic in Alford come summertime.

Well according to Sturgeon she wants to retain the tier system.

So I am looking forward to her opening up the regions with a low rate.

The drawback there would mean weegie land still In the high tier.

I'm not sure I agree. 

You're saying 20% of the population being vaccinated with a vaccine that's 85-%(?) effective is enough to open everything. I'm saying that we'd be better to wait until a much higher proportion of the population have been vaccinated. 

If 95% of people have an 85% effective vaccine, then the prevalence will surely remain very low and there be next to no risk?

She won't do that till she can open up glasgow too, at this rate won't be till way later in the year. We could be sitting at zero cases for weeks and she'll still keep us lock downed.

Find me a post where I have mentioned Bojo.

Till the next variant.

Read she's going to be doing these daily broadcasts right up to the election, surely that can't be allowed to happen, must be impartiality rules in place.

No just not as quickly as you and others want it to be

Covid is never going to be eradicated, we will learn to live with it sooner rather than later. It will keep mutating but we will move to an annual vaccination programme covering over 65's and "at risk" groups only, each annual vaccine tailored to cover new strains found the year previous.

The 20% presumably are the vulnerable and the old.  The virus is very little threat to the rest of us.

I think just shy of a year in lockdown is long enough tbh

That point should have been reached long ago

Sturgeon said months ago that she had practically eliminated Covid and that complete elimination is her aim.

It will be a long time before we are out of lockdown if this is her aim.
