Yeah, I’m the same (minus squeezing out 4 kids) 😂 (and being 60 actually) Had to go to hospital from when I was a bairn up until I was about 16 for a check up, but nothing since. I’m a little more prone to infections because of it apparently, have to be careful to clean out cuts at work thoroughly to avoid infection and need to get antibiotics before any dental appointment to save from infections.

It’s a snowflake generation mate 😂😂 It was more for infection control, had to quit football in my 20’s because I would get cuts infected and would affect my legs and knees with swelling.

ThistleWhistle Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Saw foreign holiday bookings have sky rocketed following Bojo's announcement - are folk going to have to self isolate when they come back or is it just going to be a free-for-all? Seems bat shit mental at this stage to risk everything for a fortnight in the Algarve when they're struggling with the Brazillian variant as an example.

The quarantine system isn't even working yet, but folk are being encouraged to book foreign holidays. I don't think there is any real intention to try to prevent re-importing the virus. If they ever do get back to low infection rates, they are just going to bring it back in again with foreign travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCOTLAND came close to eliminating coronavirus during lockdown before new strains were introduced as the country opened up and people began travelling again, an expert report has found. Jason Leitch, Scotland's National Clinical Director, said new strains were imported as people travelled across the UK and abroad on summer holidays. The new report found the majority of strains associated with the second wave of the virus "are new introductions from outside of Scotland and many from outside of the UK". It said: "This indicates that, while lockdown in Scotland is directly linked with the first wave case numbers being brought under control, travel-associated imports (mostly from Europe or other parts of the UK) following the easing of lockdown are responsible for seeding the current epidemic population." The new report was submitted to the UK Government's Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) by members of the COG-UK Consortium. https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/18931916.scotland-close-eliminating-coronavirus-travel-brought-new-strains/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But data from the pandemic’s winter wave suggest that Sturgeon’s greater willingness to maintain restrictions has helped Scotland keep deaths and infections lower than in England. While deaths per million people in Scotland attributed to coronavirus exceeded those in England for more than a month in October and November last year, they went on to peak at a lower level. Excess deaths, seen as the best measure of the pandemic’s overall impact, have since December also been lower in Scotland. https://www.reddit.com/r/Scotland/comments/ls2h5v/scotland_reaps_dividend_of_covid_response_that/ Edited February 25, 2021 by phart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair it wasn't actually a policy decision it occurred because of the differences in regulations with the health services. This led to difficulties in England getting the Pfizer vaccine into Care Homes because of its particular nature. I would be interested to see the difference in the numbers who got the Pfizer and AZ vaccine in Scotland and England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This led to difficulties in England getting the Pfizer vaccine into Care Homes because of its particular nature. I would be interested to see the difference in the numbers who got the Pfizer and AZ vaccine in Scotland and England. Up until the end of January over 90% of the doses used in Scotland were Pfizer. That was because right at the start, NHS Scotland came up with a plan of how the Pfizer one could be used in care homes. It wasn't really rocket science, just a question of logistics, but the high heed yins at NHS England said it couldn't be done. A lot of NHS staff in England were not happy about that. That's why NHS Scotland got the care homes done quicker than England. It also partly explains why it looked like England was going quicker overall than Scotland early on, before Scotland caught up.
