Nobody getting out of here.

Hi Islay, tdb forum has very strict no politics rule, which is best for that forum, IMO. As for the Ninewells deaths I think there must be more to the statistic but unless the discussion comes onto this forum I don't think there's much chance of discussing it.

I know someone who works at Ninewells in a relatively senior position. She tells me the ICU has never been stretched and that deaths due to Covid are not nearly as high as people might imagine.

I think this is a very common perception. I imagine if your contact is one of the large number of staff involved in ICU there will be lots and lots of people who have been given a similar message. It isn't difficult to see this message being replicated right throughout Britain. There is a difference between the way things feel when you are at the coalface, as it were, and being part of the management team.

Please do not suggest that.
In Argyll and Bute we are stuck with that useless MSP Michael Russell who has done nothing for Argyll and Bute during his time as the MSP because he is only interested in splitting up the UK and getting an independent Scotland back into the EU.
I could not face another six months of Michael Russell as my MSP.
He is about as bad as smug Ian Blackford.

Islay, you have helped me make my mind up. Deffo going to email Nicola to suggest she extend Holyrood so that she can give you a few more months of Mike Russell as your MSP!!!

Mike Russell will not be happy. He will still have to suffer me sending him emails complaining about the ongoing A83 Rest and be Thankful saga which he has done sod all about despite it being in his parliamentary constituency.
