Not all them, but undeniably a huge rise since they arrived. There were 2 separate student house parties at the end of my road last night and about 6 pissed up large groups wandering around just before 10.Biffer wrote: Thu Oct 08, 2020 6:56 pmTheres 250 confirmed cases in Newington and Dalkeith Road neighbourhood in the last week, which is where Pollock Halls are, and another 178 in the adjacent meadows, marchmont and old town areas. That’s 428 out of 798 in the seven days to 6th October.Slick wrote: Thu Oct 08, 2020 5:31 pmI’ve absolutely no evidence but I’m pretty sure they are responsible for the big increase in Edinburgh.
I’m particularly worried about the numbers of students walking around with face masks on outside. My suspicion is they have it with no or mild symptoms and think this is OK
Population of Newington and Dalkeith Road is about 6500, so that’s around 4% of the population infected in a week. Other areas mentioned is about 24,400. So that’s 428 cases in a population of about 31,000 or 1380 cases per 100,000, and 370 cases in the remaining 450,000 or so which is 82 cases per 100,000. The latter cases per 100,000 is still worryingly high.
So it looks like students are a significant contributor, but we can’t just think it’s all them.
A lot of them don't give a shit.

I see another just set up company with close connections to Tory donors has been handed a lovely lot of public money with zero tender processes under the emergency looting powers the Government gave itself.

Loads. My sister-in-law works for a dentist practice in Kent. Her boss claimed furlough while the staff were in the office and being paid their salaries. When the staff questioned it, they were threatened with sacking.SaintK wrote: Fri Oct 09, 2020 7:59 amWonder just how many more have been scamming like that?Bimbowomxn wrote: Fri Oct 09, 2020 7:19 amInsane_Homer wrote: Fri Oct 09, 2020 7:07 am https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... -scam.html

There’s plenty of places to report this. Considering you grass on going for a pint reporting an actual crime shouldn’t be difficult.

Who cares anyway, it's only more Govt debt which you said doesn't mean anything.

I guess he'll be making a sizeable donation to the Tory's soon to make this disappear, probably get a PPE contract out it too.

Supporting criminals because you benefit isn’t much of an argument. And the absolute opposite is true, I do think government debt matters and constantly say so.

I’m still not sure what point is being made. If it’s that some of the 15,000 “open” signatures aren’t genuine then “of course”, still not sure that invalidates the whole thing though.

Ontario now posting bigger daily numbers than in spring!

I reckon those will rocket up next week as it's Thanksgiving this weekend and they've urged people not to gather, but aren't enforcing as far as I know.The Ford government is implementing new restrictions in Toronto, Peel Region and Ottawa after the province reported 939 new cases of COVID-19 on Friday. The restrictions will prohibit indoor dining at restaurants and bars, while gyms, movie theatres and casinos will be ordered to close. The new measures will come into effect on Saturday and will last at least 28 days.

There are a handful of verifiable endorsements of this bullshit science; but every news program announced it as being backed by, 'thousands".
This is exactly the same kind of shameless, anti-science, horseshit that had that scum Wakefield causing thousands preventable deaths, by seeding doubt in the MMR vaccine.

The BBC has lost its way, it is running scared of being hacked to pieces wrt the licence fee and its journalism has become a fawning parody of the independence that made it a standard to aspire to.

You and fishfoodie may disagree with it but it is a mainstream view that the way we have been dealing with Covid is wrong and needs challenged, this may not be a majority view but it is most certainly mainstream.
Just because this has been hijacked with some comedy names does not invalidate the point they are making.
Robust debate on how we continue to live with Covid is urgently needed and you wanting to silence opposing views reflects extremely poorly on you both.
