Is that getting something right? Just simply being better than someone who got it more wrong? It’s hardly a decent table to be sitting second of.Quote:

Ofcourse you could check the figures against our European neighbours for a Larger comparison

There’s a difference between being second of four in a pitiful table of how many deaths were overseen, and the government getting things right. I’ve no doubt they got some things right, but this is probably the worst way to make that point.Quote:

I'm not sure why they didn't just cancel it earlier
Its basically no skin off my nose as I fully expected 0 fans to begin with
In the end its a whole lot of angst about numbers allowed and ballots and who's a more uber fan and deserving
End of the day, let's just win the bloody thing

Thanks for the link, I usually look at the Worldometer website. I noticed Southern Ireland has even less than NI. England's major cities took a battering early doors similar to other major worlds cities. We were fortunate not to have as many overcrowded areas otherwise who knows where our figures would have ended up.Quote:

Being polite that is pretty daft :wink:. The issue with the newest Indian variant is perhaps simply its transmissibility with it being estimated to be maybe 50% more transmissible due to a mutation on the spike protein. It may not have a second mutation that makes it less likely to evade the vaccine generated antibodies and it may not be more likely to cause death and serious illness. All good but a blasé we are all right jack attitude allows for greater transmission making the emergence of new variants of greater concern more likely.Quote:

I hope this variant is swapping greater transmission for less illness and death and that, if so, it out competes any other variants. Unsubstantiated hope is not with relying on but my wishful thinking is that things will be very different come August.
The in out in out turn it all about performance of the govt to attendances and the inept advance negotiations by the the SFA on the planned use of its own stadium have been bizarre and unwelcome but in the end for the final a not unexpected outcome has been reached.
Yet unless I’m mistaken, less per million than the UK?Quote:

Think this thread has run its course now. Politics discussions are in the Holy Ground where there’s already a very long coronavirus thread.
