Covid enquiry

[Deeranged]

Governments - all four - made an erse of it from the start.

Well, you could knock me down with a feather, really didn't see that coming. Maybe next time a couple of regular posters on here should be consulted rather than self serving dentists and politicians? You know, people with a bit of common sense and a decent grasp of reality.

Rules you out.

Need to be on our guard, in case the hard left take a leaf out of the far right and acting undemocratically by bypassing discussion and debate in Parliament. It was talking that changed the approach to lockdowns, not executive edicts.

I look back at that time and cud still just aboot greet.

My view that most people had a wee bit of common sense died at that time.

And they said if they acted sooner we cud have avoided lockdown......what put us AHH in a coma for a year.

Bull**** we shuda just carried on with the elderly shielding.

The madness we will pay for for generations to come plus we will do it all again the next plague the Chinese unleash.

Hopefully I'll be deid.

This is the problem of having incompetent politicians at Westminster and Holyrood being told what to say by their top civil servants and special advisors who are pushing their own political agendas.
Meanwhile the U.K. and Scottish public are paying the price of these top civil servants and special advisors pushing their own agendas.

The report said, it was an impossible situation. Scientists thought that intubation and assisting breathing was the answer. It wasn't.
How did Sweden get on? It would be interesting if the scientists could do a comparison of the outcome for Scotland and Sweden.

Need to prepare a plan that does not include lockdowns and much better scientific ways to identify the cause and produce vaccines.

Lowest excess deaths in Europe.

I give up on this, idiots still believe lockdown was the way to go.

Most people don't use their brain.

Stole time off of people that you can't get back.

Saw a man with a paper mask on in next yesterday, musta been protection for sock rack falling on him.....no ****ing good for anything else.

Viruses can travel through porcelain a nappy on yer pus ain't gonna stop it.

How was India, Pakistan and the Philippines not wiped out with COVID?

Answer it wasn't that dangerous to reasonably healthy people.....even if you do live in a slum.

Biggest con job the world has ever seen.

Makes climate change seem 100% true.

It would not bother me 1 iota if I was the omega man after next "plague".....Charlton Heston like taking oot Zombified dabs Fae the boundary of the south Angus estate......perfectly happy with no idiots in the world.

Rant over.

Boris and the Tories get rightly criticised along with all the devolved governments. Remember though that Boris and Co. at the very outset were for going for herd immunity i.e. no lockdowns, let the virus take its course etc. He was talked out of it by the scientists, some of his own party and the opposition. Wonder where we would have been today if he had stuck to his guns?

I have a total disdain of ALL politicians but in regard to Covid I have a small element of sympathy for most of them. It was something totally new to them and they were getting conflicting views from medical scientists, economists, opposition parties ( who didn't have to make the hard decisions and who could simply criticise and carp away from the sidelines) etc. They were like rabbits in the headlights and mistakes were made. It seems that the politicians are the ones who are taking the brunt of the enquiry's criticism not the scientists who were all over the place at times and changed tack over the course of time more than once. The opposition parties and the media also called for this and that and influenced matters and public opinion and are, imo, worthy of censure.

Finally there is our Nicola, the one politician who I do not include in my mild appreciation of the difficulties that politicians suffered. No other politician, imo, used the epidemic to nakedly promote themself or their political ends as she did. She invented discord with the UK government to serve her own needs and milked the misery of the populace to promote her obsession with independence. She sickened me then and still now as she tries to rewrite history. The most sickening thing was speaking to folk at the time who thought Saint Nicola was our saviour. This was reflected in the wider Scottish population and media, UK population and media and it is to be hoped that the criticism of her in the report thoroughly debunks all the hype around her performance at the time and that she is seen to be properly found out!
