To be fair does not matter if you vote for the snp and independence if you do not worship everything about wee nic now you are a tory just the way it is I'm afraid.

We have had our differences, but i would never call you a Tory because of that!

Regarding the football, can agreements in relation to testing that were apparently being considered before their shut down not be revisited? With teachers getting the same testing, can some kits be donated by SG?

[offshore_arab83]

could be really difficult logistically with the players having jobs mate, getting them to test centres or whatever at certain times to meet the League/GOV criteria could be an issue if people are on shift or working away

We knew in October there was issues with the lower leagues starting up again, not as easy as full time clubs eh

HaHaHa really would not bother me any more if someone chose to call me a tory at one time would have been really upset round about thatcher time but now don't care don't even know who I will vote for at scottish election have voted snp all my life but not so sure any more might, might not but wee nic's cultist do get bit upset if you don't agree with every thing she does or says.

Guessing their players have more chance of catching it also at work etc.Suppose they could get tested on the tuesday go to work on the wednesday catch it at work their test come back negative play on wednesday night and pass it on?

Its LFT kits that are issued to school staff and all done at home, not nice to witness! Government could help by delivering those kits to clubs quite easily and have them passed out at first training session. All tests are then registered, but dont know what happens with a positive result, but i believe quarantine and a PCR test is submitted.

thats a good shout, as long as people are doing the test correctly, needs to be an element of trust though defo

Talk brought in here last week of a more accurate and less intrusive 5 minute test available soon. A game changer even with vaccine roll out doing so well.

Revised Scottish Cup dates.

Nearly didnt bring this today due to tech issues in the tableau. I have to say that im a bit disheartened with the slow progress just now, and i wish the cohort reporting would return.

Over 80s, 96.9% (96.8)
75-79, 98.7 (98.6)
70-74, 99.2% (99.1)
65-69, 95% (94.8)
60-64, 36% (34.4)
55-59, 30.2% (28.9)
50-54, 24.7% (23.4)
40-49, 18.9% (18.1)
30-39, 13.2% (12.8)
16-29, 8.4%, (8.2)

Daily new infections spend another day in the 500s and the 7 day average joins them, and i hope that 400s can be seen as the week progresses.

I put this out at the weekend kinda in a way to answer an earlier question, and a here is a bit of an update.

Is there a case to say that the vaccination percentages in some areas could see restrictions lifted early? Below is cases/100k to 28th - number vaccinated - percentage vaccinated.

Western isles, 33.7 – 11,348 – 50.5 (48.7 – 10,912 – 48.6)
Shetland Isles, 0 – 9,077 – 48.5 (0 – 8,588 – 45.9)
D & G, 29.6 – 59,184 – 47.1 (51.1 - 57,163 - 45.5)
South Ayrshire, 47.1 – 43,384 – 45.7 (69.3 -43,109 - 45.4)
Angus, 44.8 – 42,691 – 44 (40,059 - 41.3)
Argyle and Bute, 18.6 – 30,381 – 41.6 (21 - 29,313 - 40.2)

Just for interest,
Falkirk, 161 – 44,026 – 33.2 (219.4 - 42,116 - 31.7)
Edinburgh, 63 – 125,591 – 28.2 (93.9 - 117,076 - 26.3)
Second lowest, Glasgow, 114 – 153,673 – 28.9 (144.4 - 140,381 - 26.4)
Dundee just cause, 69 – 49,100 – 39.2 (58.9 - 46,167 - 36.9)

Something i mentioned in the last thread was about surge vaccinating the isles to allow them to get their economies restarted again. I am more convinced this is acceptable with their populations currently half done at low numbers. Done right, it gets us past some areas that could be difficult logistically and long term we can maximize efforts on the mainland.
