Face Masks not stopping the spread of Coronavirus.

She'll be riveted I'm sure

A lot of people on Islay are ****ting themselves about visitors bringing the COVID-19 virus to Islay.
Last April and May some of them were threatening to prevent people coming off the Calmac ferry when it arrived at Port Askaig and Port Ellen unless they recognised them as local residents.
Others would be happy if there were no visitors on Islay from the start of the lockdown on 23rd March 2020 until end of 2020.
Distilleries could easily survive without visitors but there would be a lot of unemployment as the furlough scheme on 31st October.
Two well known hotels on Islay are still closed.

It will be already on the island.

Its just that most folk have very few symptoms and don't get ILL.

I'm like Deeranged I think I've had a very mild dose of it.

By the way I've got the vision of the end scene of the Wicker man in my head.

All these islanders burning folk in a Wicker man to keep the virus at bay.

Was it Christopher Lee and Taggart?

Was it not The Equaliser?

And Britt Eckland?

Are they afraid they're all going to die if one person brings this virus into the community?

Probably too late to worry about that.

Yes, don't know where Mark McManus came from.

That wee tune at the end scene all dressed up in their finest swaying from side to side reminds me of the dabs......pagan *******s.

139 people died of all deaths were covid in latest weekly figs......around 1.5% of all deaths.......and of those many will have died with covid not of covid..........and still the economy collapses into a pile of crap.

They love to quote medical statistics but choose to ignore possibly the most significant statistic of them all i.e. that nobody's actually dying OF Covid-19 any more. They try to scare us with the '150 positive tests this week, we need to stamp it out' stuff but nobody's asking how many of those are actually becoming ill or, more importantly, more ill than they'd expect from a standard flu.

Honestly think we will look back on this period and wonder why we allowed the mad scientists and egotistical fame hungry politicians to lead us down this path.

Remember the phrase "one death is one too many"......it looks so stupid now.

Translated "let's bugger up everones life so I look like a caring leader".

Tick tock tick to the end of furlough and emergency budget.

Locally I see Dundee council are prioritising drug treatment facilities over gyms, libraries and jobs........we really get the leaders we deserve.

BBC radio Scotland again promoting working from home today....why...our economy isn't suited to that.

Keep on saying it but they will continue to find new excuses to justify their actions and unless they do a full u turn and admit they got the fear and got it wrong we are truly ****ed.

I think that they are frightened that they will have to be transferred by air ambulance to a hospital in the Glasgow area with the frightening thought of dying over there.
The hospital on Islay has continually been downgraded since the former Argyll and Clyde Health Boar area was transferred to NHS Highland.
At the last count the number of beds in the hospital is six.
