killiefaetheferry Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 To be fair to Ayr, they turn up for the derby. Filled the away end in the Mehdi cup game. Always a fantastic atmosphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Scottish numbers apart from ICU seem to have pretty much peaked and ICU and deaths being the last of the lagging indicators that is to be expected. Obviously a material change in the rules might change that and as the background conditions change the numbers might change. Good news is deaths as a percentage of cases is a lot lower now, not so great news hospitalisations were still high enough to severely disrupt medical care. We seem to have hit an uptake problem with vaccines so not close to herd immunity at all if we assume a R0 for Delta variant. As i said earlier i did notice a remarkably different picture from a week ago when i went in to do shopping. Whether that was to do with the freedm day rhetoric or just cause of holidays and it being such good weather etc impossible to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully get a 5000+ capacity allowed when we play Ayr a week on monday. Shame, as there would have been 11-12,000+ at that easy with no restrictions. Game when we play them at New Year will have a massive crowd at RP. Toronto FC had their first fans (7,000) in for a home game last Saturday. Tonight they'll be welcoming 15,000 fans. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamia Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Is it just me who don't believe England's testing data. It often makes no sense and it just seem to dropped in a way I simply don't believe. I know the football has been having an impact but that effect doesn't just reduce overnight and we are still under two weeks after the Euros final Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game on the 2nd of January will be a big thing. Ayr fans will be there in numbers me included if rules allow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no idea about all the other confounding variables though so I have no idea what the story is. I went the shopping for my gran yesterday and it was mobbed, folk just walking about browsing shit which i'd never really seen before. Some dude walking about with no mask on and this huge gaudy lanyard which i assume was his I can't wear a mask badge thing which is fair enough. He was however in front of me at the kosk bit and bought 40 fags, which had me wondering what conditon can one have that it's alright to smoke fags but gives you a medical exemption against a mask. I suppose i could have asked him. Probably got COPD from smoking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamia Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I am curious to know what people do if they catch Covid 19 on holiday and their holiday booking ends? Are people travelling home with Covid? 🤔Think I know the answer to that. I just don't know how you are meant to go on holiday with that possibility.

DAVIDB46 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Still not convinced are freedoms are on the way. Sister is in Blackpool as says everyone is getting on and enjoying life and making their own decisions , masks seem to have gone from society there. Reading someone’s comments in the herald saying people enjoying beach life at english beaches whereas we are still living in some kind of third world communist type set up here. Is sturgeon going to let people make their own choices in life again. I think we know the answer to that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see nightclubs here be open anytime soon, she'll wait until they are all bust before letting that happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhumper Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 And dont even start me on slots 1hr 30 mins before KO to access a football stadium that is 20% capacity, with no food kiosks being allowed open due to these daft rules. If Nicola Sturgeon can explain to me why it's unsafe for somebody to get a pie a the football but okay for Rugby Fans to get a pint at HT at a Lions game then she can be my guest.

What is it, another two weeks and all those things are likely to happen? Who's to say England is doing it right? I'm not totally comfortable with how things are going in England, its a free for all now with loads of people fucking off track and trace.
