I watched the start of todays indie SAGE stream and note that while they include the same caveats as me in terms of data quality, they also had graphs for covid wastewater surveillance in Scotland and Wales which also showed the same sort of picture.We might be in a new phase where the numbers have finally come down from levels seen in recent years, with the regular timing of oscillations between new peaks and lulls also changed.
However since various data gathering has also been scaled back over the same period, including vital data from from hospitals, I am unable to express quite as much confidence about this as I would like to.
Is there any press coverage of this?I was somewhat astonished by the Scottish Government's response to a FOI request re deaths of doctors and nurses in NHS Scotland due to Covid.
Is there any press coverage of this?
There were certainly press reports during the pandemic which mentioned specific health care workers who lost their lives to Covid in Scotland during the pandemic.
When it comes to data from official statistics bodies, its all about the exact definition they used. There are various ways that a narrow definition can end up not counting cases.
Just to show what is being debated on our "uncancelled" TV "news" station
The person who posted the response commented on half a dozen deaths known to them.
The video clip surprised me in that the GP spokesperson was vehemently pro vaccination - and called Coastguy and Andrew Bridgen "loonies"Im not going to want to click on that, am i
Adam seems credible. I've no idea what 'evidence' Bridgen is referring to but it makes no sense what he's claiming. Really cannot see Ofcom sitting on the fence for much longerThe video clip surprised me in that the GP spokesperson was vehemently pro vaccination - and called Coastguy and Andrew Bridgen "loonies"
Even the other guest was neutral - pro vaccine - she'd had the vaccines and didn't regret it.
The thing that is strange is where Bridgen gets his information from i.e. about one batch of vaccines being tested on 40,000 volunteers and a different batch of different completely untested vaccine being the one used to vaccinate everyone in the world (with the assistance of a Bill and Melinda Gates charity of course).
It's as the poster (Adam Bienkov) says. And Bienkov seems to be a senior at Byline Times, an online paper.

It's called making shit upThe thing that is strange is where Bridgen gets his information from i.e. about one batch of vaccines being tested on 40,000 volunteers and a different batch of different completely untested vaccine being the one used to vaccinate everyone in the world (with the assistance of a Bill and Melinda Gates charity of course).
there is only one god and she is called Eris name of the variantIsn’t there a new variant?
I'm a bit confused. A while back I got a text saying due to my clinical vulnerability I was still eligible for free tests and actual treatment if I got covid. I'm 62, so it wasn't due to age, could have been that I have prostate cancer, though not having treatment currently, or that I was under investigation for ankylosing spondylitis. Anyway, I've not had an invite for a further jab and clearly won't be getting one now. So, is the 'vulnerable' list different to the 'can have a jab' list?If you're under 65 and not in an at-risk group you won't be getting a COVID vaccine this year
Winter Covid vaccines axed for under-65s
Only those aged 65 and over or in at-risk groups should be invited for jab, say UK experts.www.bbc.co.uk
I think so - the vulnerable list is probably the same as it has been for a while.So, is the 'vulnerable' list different to the 'can have a jab' list?
Hope they don't get the throwing up like I did! grimEldest Broglet has just rung me to say, that after attending a wedding last week, he's just tested positive.
What a colossally shite summer.
Cheers. Ankylosing spondylitis can be linked to a wonky immune system, so I think I should be on either both lists or neither.This is from April this year so I'd guess the vulnerable list will be similar for the Autumn boosters

The first time I misread it at Eric.there is only one god and she is called Eris name of the variant
They should give them normal names tbf - would make it more relatable.The first time I misread it at Eric.
