Interesting that the corrupt Crown Office is prosecuting C Murray for contempt of court.<br /> Everyone in Scotland should be in contempt of the court which tried (ha) to have an innocent man locked up for life by a gang of lying whores.<br /><br /> These women admitted conspiring to achieve their goal of destroying a former First Minister of Scotland. They were proven to be absolute liars in court. Every claim they made was proven false.<br /> They committed clear perjury and conspired to pervert the course of justice. <br /> Every one of them should be looking at a minimum of 5 years without parole.<br /> But they have all been given a lifetime of anonymity. You can't go on trial for perjury without being identified. So it is literally impossible for any one of them to be charged and tried for their crimes. <br /> There is only one person in Scotland who could have arranged immunity from prosecution for life for her besty mate in cabinet. <br /> The same person who defended evans and mckinnon.<br /> <br /> She needs to go NOW. Not, "after this is over." This isn't going to be over for years while she hides from the result of her crimes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-2152006796277598782020-04-24T23:36:28.784+01:002020-04-24T23:36:28.784+01:00She dares them to defy WHO.

This is how she proves Scotland ought to be independent. Leitch, however, has to go. Quietly, or sacked, If that's actually what she wants. Or she'll go along with the 4 nations strategy and then get the blame from the Scottish media who'll conveniently forget it was a UK idea. In that case maybe Leitch makes a good scapegoat. She needs to play a blinder on this because there's the Salmond revelation coming once this is over.

For 1/12th the cost Scotland has 1/3rd the testing capacity of the UK. That'll do for me. I also suspect Hancock's 100,000 tests a day could be just the start once it's in full flood, as it's a "fleet" of machines, meaning they can just get more fleets as long as they have somewhere to put them and people to operate them.yesindyref2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-49277613791866276652020-04-24T15:14:46.123+01:002020-04-24T15:14:46.123+01:00Sure, but you get my point.
If we assume a death ...Sure, but you get my point.<br /><br />If we assume a death rate of 1%, then 3-4 weeks ago, 3% of Scotland's entire population was infected.

If we were not socially distancing.<br /><br />It's why it was time to lock down! Soon, everyone would be a traced contact!<br /><br />It's another reason why we need widespread testing of everyone, not just symptomatic people. We need to know the level in the population and that it's down to a level where most of us will not meet an infection if we go out work etc, ergo we are not all traced contacts needing quarantined!Scottish Skierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10584099659760612109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-1994394359797956212020-04-24T14:33:18.540+01:002020-04-24T14:33:18.540+01:00"Lockdown makes that assumption.

We were all locked down because it was assumed if we go out, we would likely encounter a case."</i><br /><br />I think you're overstating the case somewhat. The experience from China and South Korea suggests that only close contacts need to be isolated. To the extent that modelling can be trusted, the percentage estimated to have been infected when lockdown was imposed was not high enough to suggest that everyone (or anything like everyone) was a close contact of someone with the virus. That's why contact tracing should have been going on during lockdown, particularly in lower-intensity areas.James Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05264559835025144323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-9042745141939671092020-04-24T13:58:41.092+01:002020-04-24T13:58:41.092+01:00Yesindyref2

If what you say is true, why are Scottish Labour and the Scottish Tories complaining that Holyrood's plan is "dangerously different" from the UK plan and we should only unlock as one nation, even if that kills thousands? Genuine question. If it wasn't for Carlaw and Leopold, what you are saying might have seemed believable.

Germany has been quite busy in this respect and this is likely why its case fatality ratio is looking lower than other reports at just over 1%. <br /><br />https://www.bmj.com/content/369/bmj.m1395<br /><br />It really is key for understanding risks, and of course strategy.<br /><br />For example, 'test, trace and isolate' works at very low % infected. However, if you start to get 5, 10, 20% infected, soon, <i>everyone</i> has recently encountered an infectious case, so the entire population would theoretically need isolated. <br /><br />Which is what's actually been done. Lockdown makes that assumption. We were all locked down because it was assumed if we go out, we would likely encounter a case. <br /><br />Scottish government need to mass test in a mass 'polling sample' type way to understand where we are, the risk, and how best to manage that.<br /><br />I'm not a medical doctor, just a chemistry one, but I've got to be critical of overestimates as much as underestimates. Without the data, we are clutching at straws. <br /><br />We really do need to know our enemy so we properly rank it alongside the others we're dealing with in terms of risk. We desperately need to know total number of infections, and how these are spread across the country.
