Coronavirus in Scotland: Nicola Sturgeon announces postcode checker to help understand restrictions
'''

I'm A Celebrity 2020: Mo Farah 'joins line-up' in Olympic legend's first…
Scots will be given access to a postcode checker system so they can see what level of restrictions their neighbourhood is under, according to Nicola Sturgeon.'''
The new comes as the First Minister briefs the Scottish Parliament on the latest developments in the fight against covid-19.
Speaking this afternoon, Ms Sturgeon said: "We will be announcing a new postcode checker, to allow people to know what restrictions are in place in their area at any given time.
"The detail within each level is intended to give people greater certainty on what to expect at different rates of transmission.
"But it is important that we retain some flexibility – we will keep the detail of each level under review as the situation develops.”
Ms Sturgeon also said she will announce on Thursday which health board areas will be placed in each tier of the new coronavirus restriction system.
The tiered restriction system has five levels, with zero being the closest to normal and four being strictest.

Level 4
No council is currently under Level 4-type restrictions - which are the toughest being set. They are similar to the lockdown restrictions that we applied across Scotland at the end of March. Addressing MSPs before a debate on the new tiered system, Ms Sturgeon said the "very high" rates of transmission and hospital admissions in Lanarkshire might "necessitate" the top level being used. However, she added that there were "encouraging" signs that the situation in that central belt area "might have stabilised slightly". In the Level 4 category schools would remain open but all non-essential shops, as well as pubs and restaurants, gyms, libraries and hairdressers would be closed.
South Lanarkshire
North Lanarkshire
Level 3
A huge swathe of the country is already in Level 3-type restrictions. Most of the central belt, which covers about 3.3 million people, has seen pubs and restaurants closed and a ban on household visits. Level 3 restrictions will see cafes, pubs and restaurants allowed to open until 18:00 to serve food and non-alcoholic drinks. Alcohol sales would not be permitted indoors or outdoors. All leisure and entertainment venues are closed at this level, including cinemas. No non-essential travel is allowed out of a level 3 area. Indoor exercise will be restricted to individuals. Ms Sturgeon has indicated that most of the central belt will be placed into Level 3.
Glasgow City
Renfrewshire
East Renfrewshire
East Dunbartonshire
West Dunbartonshire
East Ayrshire
North Ayrshire
South Ayrshire
Inverclyde
City of Edinburgh - (Government advisers have said "there are some signs in the data of progress in the east" and while there is no immediate plan to move the capital into a lower tier, if further progress continues a move to Level 2 might be possible)
Midlothian
East Lothian - (Government advisers have said "there are some signs in the data of progress in the east" and while there is no immediate plan to move East Lothian into a lower tier, if further progress continues a move to Level 2 might be possible)
West Lothian
Clackmannanshire
Falkirk
Stirling
Dundee (this council area is currently in Level 2-type restrictions. However, concerns have been raised about growing infection rates and indications are it will be put into Level 3)
Level 2
This involves restrictions which are broadly similar to those in place outside Scotland's central belt at the moment. No in-home socialising is allowed and up to six people from two households can meet outdoors and in hospitality settings. Licensed premises can only serve alcohol indoors with a main meal - and then only until 20:00. Outdoors they can serve until 22:30. Most leisure and entertainment premises are closed except cinemas, bingo halls and amusement arcades.
Aberdeen
Aberdeenshire
Angus
Argyll & Bute (There could be different restrictions within this vast council area. Ms Sturgeon said island rules could be eased)
Borders
Dumfries & Galloway
Fife
Perth & Kinross
Level 1
Some councils currently under Level 2-type restrictions could be moved into the next tier down. However, although the Level 1 definition includes six people from two households meeting indoors this would not apply to any council that finds itself in that category on 2 November. Level 1 would see a "reasonable" degree of normality. Hospitality will see restrictions such as a 10.30pm curfew. Weddings and life events would be restricted to a maximum of 20 people. Indoor contact sports for adults are not permitted. Only those who could not work from home should go to their place of employment.

This article was also published in the Scottish Daily Mail on the 14th of August 2014 alongside the last article I posted here…
>>106682 and here… >>106683
The article headline reads "My father was feted by legal establishment, but was really a monster who let his powerful friends rape me." and was written by Emma Cowing who we owe thanks for writing on this topic, we know how pressure can be brought to bear on brave journalists who touch on a topic which seems to implicate so many in high (all the way to the top allegedly) places.
Some who have covered such topics have been suicided (I feel we should now change that term to corona'd or covid'd) How many victims of Historic Child Abuse, who have been prevented from giving statements or evidence to the inquiry have died during the scamdemic?
These inquiries in Scotland and England are why the scamdemic has been manufactured…to kill off elderly victims before they can give evidence! Many in high places are involved!
It links to these other posts too, though the story itself can also be viewed in those first 2 links………..attached are my scribblings for scots anon who finds them useful.

Covid in Scotland: Holyrood votes for 'immediate' care home inquiry
MSPs have demanded that the Scottish government holds a public inquiry into Covid deaths in care homes.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has repeatedly said such cases will be included when an inquiry into the Scottish government's handling of the pandemic takes place.
But opposition parties said the number of deaths was a "scandal".
They voted by 64 votes to one in favour of a Conservative motion calling for an immediate judge-led inquiry.
There were 57 abstentions during the final vote.
An amendment from Health Secretary Jeane Freeman saying a public inquiry should be held "as quickly as is practicable, once the country is through the immediacy of dealing with the pandemic" was rejected by 62 votes to 60.
The government defeat comes the week after figures from Public Health Scotland showed 113 patients who had tested positive for Covid-19 were transferred from hospitals to care homes.
A further 3,061 people were discharged from hospitals and into homes without being tested at all.
Tory health spokesman Donald Cameron told MSPs that since the start of the pandemic there have been 2,048 coronavirus-related deaths in care homes in Scotland.
He said: "This government's failure to protect Scotland's most vulnerable people is a scandal and I do not shirk from describing it in that way.
"It is clear to us and others in this chamber that only an immediate public inquiry will hold minsters to account and give grieving families the answers they deserve."
Ms Freeman said the Scottish government "wants and will welcome a public inquiry", telling MSPs it could be "critical" in helping learn lessons from Covid-19.
But with the virus still surging across the globe, the health secretary said the focus must be on tackling the pandemic.
Ms Freeman said: "A public inquiry is undoubtedly important, no disagreement on that.
"But right now, in the middle of the pandemic, with all the resources in care homes and the NHS stretched severely, this is not the time to divert any resource to setting up an immediate public inquiry."
Labour health spokeswoman Monica Lennon argued that an immediate inquiry was in the public interest.
='National scandal'
She said: "What has happened in our care homes this year has been a national scandal.
"Never again can we have a situation where people who are positive with Covid-19 are being discharged into care homes, into an environment with other vulnerable people.
"No-one is looking for a blame game to happen here but we need transparency, we need openness."
Green MSP Alison Johnstone said the scale of deaths in care homes meants the case for a separate public inquiry was "clear".
Including care home deaths in a more general inquiry into the handling of Covid-19 will only lead to delay, she added.
Ms Johnstone said: "Elderly spouses, partners and families of those who have lost their lives might not be able to wait, nor should they be asked to."
Liberal Democrat health spokesman Alex Cole-Hamilton said what happened in care homes was a "tragedy", and said the Scottish government had failed "some of our most vulnerable" citizens.
Transferring hospital patients who had tested positive for coronavirus into homes "put a timebomb into the heart of some of the most vulnerable homes in our country", he said, branding it "unforgiveable".

I'd guess the abstentions would be largely tartan Tory's perhaps with one or 2 tory Tory's….
When I was a young boy it was common when caught with your hand in the sweetie jar or some other such act of theft, that your parents (certainly if working class) would call you a Tory fingered bastard. That was back in the day, when even the uneducated were far more insightful regarding politicians; in the days before flashing lights and screens, that have drawn attention away from the important things in life, like family, friends and helping your neighbours for the sake of it, rather than for what you could get out of them.
Let's hope their inquiry will inquire from real epidemiologists, doctors, nurses etc who have been telling the truth for most of this scamdemic. They can't fail to have a meaningful inquiry without meaningful investigation into, not just the origins of it, but the reality of it. That would be an inquiry worth having………It does highlight for me how quick they can have an inquiry though, not like the almost 20 years that it took for the Scottish Child abuse Inquiry!

First noticed this at thescottishsun.co.uk
It shows a piper being pushed over by a cop at a Remembrance Sunday ceremony, supposedly this morning (8/11/2020)
>In the footage, a bagpiper is seen and heard playing while marching past the officers as a man yells: "Let the veterans through."
The piper then tries to walk through the police line before being stopped by cops and pushed away by the cops.
The crowd can be heard yelling at the officers, with one man shouting "what the f**k?".
Some in the crowd then confront the cops, screaming and pointing in dramatic scenes.
The piper stands back up and also aggressively gestures at the officers before having to be physically held back.
A statement from the Met Police this evening confirmed a man had been arrested in suspicion of assaulting a police officer.
The force said: "Police are aware of a video circulating online which shows an officer using force after a man had tried to enter a restricted area in Whitehall SW1.
"The actions of the officer will be looked at in the wider context of this incident.
"The man had previously been asked to wait while the restricted area was opened up and he would be able to attend the Cenotaph.

==
The Scottish family under siege==
The SNP has outlawed light smacking and wants to criminalise what we say in our homes.
Stuart Waiton 9 Nov 2020
Much has been made of the Scottish government’s intention to make saying incorrect things in the privacy of your own home a hate crime. Justice secretary Humza Yousaf, in his defence of the proposed Hate Crime Bill, said he sees no difference between expressing ‘hate’ in public and in the privacy of your own home. Both should be criminal as far as he is concerned.
Understandably, this bill has been recognised as a serious threat to freedom of speech in Scotland. However, it is also worth thinking about what this bill and other laws in Scotland mean for family life, personal autonomy and privacy.
It is interesting to note that a few years ago, when justifying the Offensive Behaviour at Football Act, which made saying something offensive at a match an offence that could result in five years in prison, the government bent over backwards to argue that this new authoritarian piece of legislation was not about criminalising words. It was about ‘public order’ and the prevention of public disorder, that would be caused by football fans shouting offensive things, apparently. Nobody with more than half a brain believed this. But at least the SNP government felt the need to spin the line and hang on to the idea that it had no interest in locking people up simply for the words they said or the opinions they expressed.
Fast forward to today and there is no sense of embarrassment about criminalising incorrect words not only in public but in private, too. If you crack the wrong joke in your kitchen or scream the wrong thing at the TV, you’re nicked.
It’s worth dwelling on this for a second. If this ‘hate’ bill is passed, the very place where we are meant to be able to let our hair down, to think inside our own box, to experiment with ideas, to be open, exploratory and relaxed, without the scrutiny of the outside world breathing down our necks, will be gone. Being overheard by a neighbour, annoying a disgruntled brother-in-law or outraging a prissy dinner guest could result in a visit from the hate police.

Found this on General Research, reposting
THIRD study finds that COVID-19 antibodies fade “very, very quickly,” rendering vaccine useless
The third such study in recent days to make this suggestion, a new paper published by researchers from Guy’s and St. Thomas’ National Health Service Foundation Trust in London has determined that the antibodies developed after infection with the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) only last a very short time, meaning any future vaccine for the novel virus will be certifiably useless.
After analyzing the immune responses of patients and health care workers who became infected with the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19), researchers from this institution found that the antibodies created to destroy the virus waned rather quickly, typically within just a few short weeks. After a couple of months, only 16.7 percent of patients still had any antibody response at all.
“The study found that 60 percent of the patients had a ‘potent’ antibody response at the peak of their battle with the coronavirus,” reports reveal. “After about two months, however, just 16.7 percent of the patients had a potent antibody response.”
These findings, along with those of earlier studies that reportedly came to similar conclusions, have drastic implications for the development of a vaccine for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). In essence, there will never be a vaccine good enough to combat the novel virus, no matter how “potent.”
“Not only do antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 fade, and perhaps fade quickly, studies have also shown that only 15 percent of those who test positive for antibodies make the neutralizing antibodies necessary to develop immunity in the first place,” says Dr. William Haseltine. “And not all of those who make neutralizing antibodies make them at high levels. Some of those infected make no antibodies at all.”
You will not want to miss the following episode of The Health Ranger Report with Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, in which he talks with Dr. Paul Cottrell about how the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) is continuing to mutate, supposedly making it more contagious

Here is another double page spread from the Scottish Daily Mail Thursday August 14th 2014 pages 6-7.
The headline reads "A magic circle of judges, a sex abuse probe and the sinister trruth about the Fettesgate scandal" by Jonathon Brocklebank. Thank you Mr Brocklebank for your efforts to expose the murky world of the Scottish Judiciary, their sick sexual interest in children and the general corruption within.
Here is a link which I said I would post in my notes on the story (next post)

Nicola Sturgeon herself agreed with Lord Brian Gill that there should not be a register of interests for Judges.
http://petercherbi.blogspot.com/2015/05/interests-intervene-first-minister.html
"Writing in the letter to John Pentland MSP, Convener of the Public Petitions Committee, the First Minister said: “This petition calls on the Scottish Government to create a Register of Interests for the Judiciary. The Scottish Government considers that such a register of judicial interests is not necessary and that the existing safeguards - the Judicial Oath, the Statement of Principles of Judicial Ethics and the system for complaints against the judiciary - are sufficient. These safeguards, together with the register of judicial recusals, are sufficient to protect individuals from judicial bias.”
“Further to the evidence that the Minister for Community Safety and Legal Affairs, Mr Wheelhouse, gave to the Committee on 9 December 2014, he discussed this petition when he met the Lord President in February. The Minister acknowledged the Lord President's concerns about the introduction of a register of judicial interests. The breadth of such a register would make it virtually unworkable. It would need to cover not only financial interests, but also memberships of groups and associations and familial and social relationships. Even so, such a register might not capture relevant issues that could arise.”
“The position of the judiciary is different from that of MSPs and others who hold public office. The judiciary cannot publicly defend themselves. The Lord President has cautioned that such a register could also have unintended consequences. Consideration requires to be given to judges' privacy and freedom from harassment by aggressive media or hostile individuals, including dissatisfied litigants. In addition, there is currently no evidence that judges who should have recused themselves from cases have not done so.”
She has a lot to hide this little cunt!
On the subject of cunts……here is another cunt Lord Carloway, who also does not want a register of interests….another seedy looking fucker I think, wonder if he has any dodgy interest in kiddies?

" JUDGE OF CONFLICT: Top judge who attacked MSPs over judicial interests probe – failed to declare relative’s role at law firm targeting MSP’s constituents’ home & farm in £6M court case linked to Lord Malcolm conflict of interest scandal
Lord Carloway failed to declare link to judicial conflict case. A REPORT being compiled for an investigation of judges’ conflicts of interest by Holyrood’s Justice Committee – will reveal Scotland’s top judge – Lord Carloway - concealed a critical conflict of interest while giving evidence to the Scottish Parliament on a proposal to create a register of judges’ interests.
Lord Carloway’s failure to declare his own link to a case he initially claimed to know little of - while answering questions from MSP Alex Neil - was made all the more serious after the top judge himself openly attacked Mr Neil and other members of a Holyrood committee - for daring to suggest judges should declare their relatives interests in a planned register of judges’ interests.
The report on Lord Carloway’s testimony to Holryood’s Public Petitions Committee will reveal that Lord Carloway (real name Colin Sutherland) did NOT declare to MSPs that his own son – Alexander Colin Maclean Sutherland – also worked for the merged law firm of Addleshaw Goddard-HBJ Gateley - which was trying to evict a couple at the centre of the case raised by Mr Alex Neil during the Committee hearing in 2017.
Mr Neil was invited to attend Committee hearing to quiz Lord Carloway on what legal experts say is one of the most serious cases of judicial conflict of interest in Scotland’s courts – Nolan v Advance Construction Scotland Ltd [2014] CSOH 4 CA132/11.
In the outburst from the top judge, Lord Carloway said to Mr Neil: “The suggestion is that we should start registering what our relatives are doing, where they are working and matters of that sort, which I suspect would go way beyond even what is expected of politicians.”
Alex Neil replied to Lord Carloway, stating: “No—we have to register what close relatives do.”
Lord Carloway - clearly rattled by questions from Alex Neil and fellow MSPs about another top judge who concealed he heard a case involving his own son - hit out at Mr Neil and members of the Public Petitions Committee in video footage which can be viewed here:"

Part 1
18 Oct 2020

Reporting from Scotland: 'Accurate and accessible reporting has never been more important'==
The Guardian’s Scotland correspondent reflects on the lessons and challenges of covering the coronavirus pandemic at a time when cases – and distrust in the media – continue to surge
Here are three snapshots from these past six months reporting on the coronavirus pandemic from Scotland.
April A few weeks into lockdown, I am waiting to be called on at the first minister’s daily briefing when a fellow journalist asks a question about the longevity of these restrictions: could family gatherings over the festive season be affected? Nicola Sturgeon responds, patiently: “No, Christmas is not going to be cancelled.” I struggle to stop my bottom lip wobbling before my question comes round.
Of course I have been emotionally affected by events I’ve reported on in the past, but this is at a completely new level of intensity. I am still struggling to compute what this pandemic means for me and my loved ones, and I desperately want someone to tell me that it’s all going to be OK. At moments like this, I am listening as a journalist, but also as a citizen, daughter, wife, friend.
June I am running down the street in Glasgow city centre towards a police cordon when a contact calls to confirm what I was already dreading: that the hotel currently surrounded by emergency services is one that has been housing asylum seekers during lockdown. I have been writing since April about the way that hundreds were moved into city centre hotels where they claimed social distancing was difficult, the food was often inedible, and where strains on residents’ mental health was evident. The Home Office press office gave me a row for being “irresponsible”.
There have been a myriad unintended consequences of the pandemic, all necessary to highlight, but it has also been essential to keep asking who has been using it as an excuse, distraction or a cover for bad behaviour.
September I report the response of the University and College Union (UCU) Scotland to harsh new guidelines just brought in for students, as thousands are forced to self-isolate in their halls of residence and a fierce row erupts over why young people were encouraged back to campus in the first place.
A furious pile-on starts. People who don’t agree with the UCU’s view that the Scottish government and university principals are “blaming students” attack me directly, accusing me of lies, fake news and “auditioning as BoJo’s press officer”. My timeline is so loaded with bile that I miss the replies from the students I’ve been trying to make contact with.
Scrupulously accurate and accessible reporting has never been more important, and in terms of the public health messages that the media carries it is literally a matter of life and death. But distrust, dismissal and disdain for reporters is growing, not just in Scotland but across the world.
On the practical side, I am used to working from home – the Guardian does not have a physical office in Scotland – but adjusting to “everyone else” doing the same has been a fair challenge.

Part Two
Ordinarily, I spend far more time filing stories from pavements, fields, and squished into the passenger seat of my car than I do from my desk, but lockdown changed that dramatically. Vox pops are not pandemic-friendly and, for completely understandable reasons, even now people just want to get where they are going to rather than chat with a reporter. So the question becomes: what is the most responsible way to reflect what people are going through when you can’t speak to them face to face or observe them in situ?
Social media has certainly filled some of those gaps. During lockdown, I developed the habit of tacking on a few more general questions to every conversation I had, be that with a press officer, expert or frontline worker: what else is happening on your street, who else should I be talking to? Guardian readers have been so generous in sharing contacts and information, whether that’s responding to community call-outs or emailing personally.
Working from home brings its own particular challenges with a child under four, who doesn’t understand why his parents are indoors all the time but still can’t play with him. Or why, when he bursts into her office, mummy appears to be watching telly (retrospective apologies for all those Zoom calls where Batman made an unscheduled appearance).
Covid-19 has certainly provided a crash course in devolution, not least for our Westminster government. Some observers tell me that coronavirus has brought home the true extent of the devolved parliaments’ ability to diverge from London, and the conflict over the UK government’s plans for a post-Brexit internal market exemplifies its aggressive approach to devolution.
With health a devolved matter, much of my reporting has highlighted the differences in policy between Scotland and the rest of the UK. The Welsh and Scottish governments recently called for improved communication with Westminster, and earlier in the pandemic there was exasperation when UK ministers failed to clarify when rules did not apply in Scotland.
I have to admit that we haven’t always got this right ourselves: reports and headlines have referred to the UK when they meant England, for example, and it’s made harder when editors and subeditors are off-site and can’t shout tweaks or reminders across the desk. But we’re more mindful of geographical clarity than ever.
The Scottish government briefing has become part of my daily routine. There are frustrations such as the inability to ask follow-up questions, but still we have had unparalleled access to a national leader at a time of crisis. Right enough, it has also provided access to journalists: the stream of abuse that accompanies the live briefing feed is eye-watering.
Recently there have been increasing problems with amendments to guidance being made by health officials in broadcast interviews or even on social media. I appreciate that decisions during an escalating second wave must be made at pace, but not at the expense of clarity.
As her most recent approval ratings testify, Nicola Sturgeon has proved herself a trusted communicator during this pandemic. Regardless, it remains critical to interrogate the substance behind that: for example, Scotland’s own record on care homes deaths, as well as the longer-term political impact, for example those who have shifted to support independence over the past six months.
It does surprise me that the escalating tensions around the Holyrood inquiry into the Scottish government’s botched handling of sexual harassment allegations against Alex Salmond has not had more impact on public trust, but perhaps it simply reflects people’s focus in pandemic times.
Six months into reporting on a pandemic with no end in sight, I have to say that I am bone tired. At times it has been overwhelming, particularly at the height of lockdown when I felt that I could work 24 hours a day and still not do justice to all of the stories that were clamouring to be told.
I’m also incredibly grateful for newsroom colleagues who have pulled together, offering me black humour and solidarity when I’ve needed it most – and thanks to WhatsApp, I feel closer to colleagues in London and Manchester than I did before this began.
I have never been prouder to work for the Guardian.

Vaccine plans in Scotland well advanced as US firm announces more good news
Plans for vaccinating Scots against coronavirus are "well advanced", Nicola Sturgeon claimed.
Up to 4.5 million adults across the country could get the injections at a mix of large vaccination centres and smaller, local ones.
The First Minister said details are being finalised as new data from US firm Moderna suggests another breakthrough in the fight against Covid-19.
The interim results indicate their formula could prevent 94.5% of people from getting the lethal virus.
Sturgeon, speaking at today's coronavirus briefing in Edinburgh, said the vaccine is "in the mix" as part of the UK Government’s supply.
She also said Pfizer's vaccine – which announced trial results last week – is the one she expects to have "most supply of most quickly", with another being developed by AstraZeneca.
"Our planning in Scotland for roll-out and delivery of the vaccine are well advanced," the First Minister said. "There are hurdles to overcome but there is every reason to be optimistic about this."
The First Minister and Health Secretary Jeane Freeman discussed plans for a mass vaccination campaign at a meeting last week, and will set out more to parliament shortly.

Freeman said: "We've been planning for some time in the hope of vaccines getting through the clinical trials and being approved to run a national vaccination programme for all adults in Scotland – so that's about 4.5 million people."
She added: "The plan will also set out who will be vaccinated first, taking the guidance of the Joint Committee on Vaccines and Immunisation, and also the various places where people will be able to get their vaccine and how we will let folks know when their appointments are coming up.
"Those places will be a mix of large vaccine hubs where we can put through large numbers of people but also more localised and perhaps mobile vaccination centres, particularly for our remote and rural communities."

An article by Graham Grant. Headline reads…..
"A growing stench from the Salmond inquiry and the abuse of power by the secretive SNP"
The article revolves round the Alex Salmond sexual assault allegations and the constant cover-up of all concerned, the cost to the taxpayer and the many questions raised.
Tuesday 17 November Scottish Daily Mail.
Though this article is related to inquiries other than the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry (SCAI) the implications for that and indeed ANY inquiry, past present or future are legion.
I thank Graham for this little gem particularly….

Covid: Infection rates levelling off in England and Scotland
20 Nov 2020
Coronavirus infection rates are levelling off in England and Scotland and decreasing in Wales and Northern Ireland, latest data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) suggests.
It shows rates in school-age children are still rising while falling in young adults.
The R number for the UK continues to fall and is now between 1 and 1.1.
But that doesn't yet reflect the impact of the second lockdown in England, introduced on 5 November.
The government's scientific advisers, Sage, say the epidemic in the north-west of England is now shrinking, although infection levels in the region still remain high.
The ONS survey, which covers the week to 14 November, tests people in thousands of households across the UK, whether they have symptoms or not. It does not include people in hospitals or care homes.
It estimates that:
1 in 80 people in England have coronavirus
1 in 155 in Scotland
1 in 165 in Wales
1 in 135 in Northern Ireland
This equates to nearly 39,000 infections a day in England, down from 50,000 the previous week.
But the picture across England's regions is mixed - rates of infections are rising in London and the south-east while coming down in the north and Midlands, the ONS says.
The highest levels of infection, meanwhile, are still in Yorkshire and the north-west.
In Wales, infection rates appear to have decreased over the past two weeks after peaking around the end of October.
In Northern Ireland, they have been going down for four weeks. In Scotland, infection rates are now stabilising after rising through most of October.
Among school-age children in England, the percentage testing positive for Covid-19 may be rising slowly while levelling off in older teenagers, young adults and the over-25s - but the ONS says the sample size is small and there is uncertainty over the estimates.
The ONS estimate of infections is usually higher than the daily lab-confirmed cases announced by the government and is thought to provide a more accurate picture of the epidemic.
While the government figures are based on people with symptoms requesting a test, the ONS estimates are based on swab tests on everyone in a household.
On Thursday, 22,915 new positive tests were reported in the UK through this system - a similar tally to a week ago.
The Covid symptom app offers another estimate. It reports around 34,000 new cases of Covid in the UK in the two weeks up to 15 November, down slightly on the previous week.
This is based on one million people reporting positive swab tests via the app.
The official R number, which estimates how many people on average one infected person passes the virus onto, is edging closer to 1. The current restrictions in place around the UK are aiming to push the R below 1, which would mean the epidemic is shrinking.
After promising results from scientists developing vaccines against Covid-19 recently, the UK nations are preparing to roll-out a vaccine to a small number of people in some priority groups in December with many more receiving a jab next year.
Pfizer, along with its partner BioNTech, has filed for emergency authorisation of its Covid vaccine in the US.

Covid in Scotland: Concern at rise in hospital-acquired infections
21 Nov 2020
Concerns have been raised at a sharp rise in Covid infections likely to have been acquired in hospital.
Public Health Scotland revealed there were 180 definite or probable "hospital onset" infections in the week ending 25 October, up from 98 the previous week.
Opposition parties have called for increased testing of hospital staff.
The Scottish government said it had worked hard to deliver robust infection control and that some frontline staff were already being tested.
The most recent PHS figures for the end of October show hospital-acquired Covid had returned to levels not seen since April.
In the seven days to 25 October there were 116 definite hospital onset cases, up from 63 the previous week.
There were also 73 probably hospital onset cases, up from 34.
Staff testing
While the vast majority of Covid infections were acquired in the community, Scottish Labour accused the Scottish government and health officials of "playing down" the significance of the problem.
Health spokeswoman Monica Lennon said: "In May, Nicola Sturgeon stated the importance of Test and Protect to safeguard people from Covid-19 and to protect Scotland from a second wave.
"Instead, the Scottish government's failure to expand Test and Protect and prevent the spread among patients and staff has contributed to Covid-19 getting out of control and millions of Scots living in lockdown again."
The Scottish Greens called for hospital infection figures to be published weekly, and said they underlined the need to increase testing of NHS staff.
Alison Johnson, the party's health spokeswoman, said: "It's ridiculous that seven months after I wrote to the government with an evidenced plan for regular hospital testing we still have staff walking around hospitals unknowingly passing on the virus to their colleagues and to patients."
Earlier this month senior doctors at Glasgow Royal Infirmary wrote a letter expressing concern at the difficulty of controlling the spread of the virus, particularly in older hospital buildings.
A Scottish government spokesperson acknowledged the increase but said transmission of Covid-19 was more likely in any closed settings, including within hospitals.
"Since the outbreak of the pandemic, we have worked hard to ensure that infection prevention and control measures in hospital and other care settings are robust and we expect our health boards to have the highest standards," the spokesperson said.
"We already have strong measures in place, such as the appropriate use of PPE, extended use of face masks and coverings, physical distancing and outbreak management, as well as risk assessed patient care pathways to help guide the implementation of measures for safe and effective care.
"We are also already testing frontline staff where there is clinical advice to do so and, as stated in the clinical review of our testing strategy, we intend to scale-up this up, in line with rising testing capacity, to roll-out routine testing to additional asymptomatic groups - including frontline NHS staff."

Near Instantly Deleted John Hopkins study on COVID-19 (COVID-19 had no effect on the % of deaths of older people, did not increase total deaths in America)
John Hopkins University study that found COVID-19 had no effect on the percentage of deaths of older people, and it has also has not increased the total number of deaths in America—a study John Hopkins University near instantly deleted before it was censored—but one knows they knew would be quickly copied so others could read it in its entirety and see the truth for themselves:

Landmark legal ruling that found Covid tests are not fit for purpose and are basically worthless (97% unreliable)
Verdict:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1t1b01H0Jd4hsMU7V1vy70yr8s3jlBedr/view?fbclid=IwAR0L_Iu6wwIVfFlZpykLhDHroS12MHZqO533Uizzc-5ZfUUmALOOjY58he4

By Peter Andrews, Irish science journalist and writer based in London. He has a background in life sciences, and graduated from the University of Glasgow with a degree in genetics.
Four German holidaymakers who were illegally quarantined in Portugal after one was judged to be positive for Covid-19 have won their case, in a verdict that condemns the widely-used PCR test as being up to 97-percent unreliable.
Earlier this month, Portuguese judges upheld a decision from a lower court that found the forced quarantine of four holidaymakers to be unlawful. The case centred on the reliability (or lack thereof) of Covid-19 PCR tests.
The verdict, delivered on November 11, followed an appeal against a writ of habeas corpus filed by four Germans against the Azores Regional Health Authority. This body had been appealing a ruling from a lower court which had found in favour of the tourists, who claimed that they were illegally confined to a hotel without their consent. The tourists were ordered to stay in the hotel over the summer after one of them tested positive for coronavirus in a PCR test - the other three were labelled close contacts and therefore made to quarantine as well.
Unreliable, with a strong chance of false positives
The deliberation of the Lisbon Appeal Court is comprehensive and fascinating. It ruled that the Azores Regional Health Authority had violated both Portuguese and international law by confining the Germans to the hotel. The judges also said that only a doctor can “diagnose” someone with a disease, and were critical of the fact that they were apparently never assessed by one.
They were also scathing about the reliability of the PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test, the most commonly used check for Covid.
The conclusion of their 34-page ruling included the following: “In view of current scientific evidence, this test shows itself to be unable to determine beyond reasonable doubt that such positivity corresponds, in fact, to the infection of a person by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.”
In the eyes of this court, then, a positive test does not correspond to a Covid case. The two most important reasons for this, said the judges, are that, “the test’s reliability depends on the number of cycles used’’ and that “the test’s reliability depends on the viral load present.’’ In other words, there are simply too many unknowns surrounding PCR testing.

Tested positive? There could be as little as a 3% chance it’s correct
This is not the first challenge to the credibility of PCR tests. Many people will be aware that their results have a lot to do with the number of amplifications that are performed, or the ‘cycle threshold.’ This number in most American and European labs is 35–40 cycles, but experts have claimed that even 35 cycles is far too many, and that a more reasonable protocol would call for 25–30 cycles. (Each cycle exponentially increases the amount of viral DNA in the sample).
Earlier this year, data from three US states – New York, Nevada and Massachusetts – showed that when the amount of the virus found in a person was taken into account, up to 90 percent of people who tested positive could actually have been negative, as they may have been carrying only tiny amounts of the virus.
The Portuguese judges cited a study conducted by “some of the leading European and world specialists,” which was published by Oxford Academic at the end of September. It showed that if someone tested positive for Covid at a cycle threshold of 35 or higher, the chances of that person actually being infected is less than three percent, and that “the probability of… receiving a false positive is 97% or higher.”
While the judges in this case admitted that the cycle threshold used in Portuguese labs was unknown, they took this as further proof that the detention of the tourists was unlawful. The implication was that the results could not be trusted. Because of this uncertainty, they stated that there was "no way this court would ever be able to determine" whether the tourist who tested positive was indeed a carrier of the virus, or whether the others had been exposed to it.

Here’s why… I’m an epidemiology professor and I have some genuine concerns about the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine. Here’s why… I’m an epidemiology professor and I have some genuine concerns about the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine. Here’s why…
Sshhh – don’t tell anyone
It is a sad indictment of our mainstream media that such a landmark ruling, of such obvious and pressing international importance, has been roundly ignored. If one were making (flimsy) excuses for them, one could say that the case escaped the notice of most science editors because it has been published in Portuguese. But there is a full English translation of the appeal, and alternative media managed to pick it up.
And it isn’t as if Portugal is some remote, mysterious nation where news is unreliable or whose judges are suspect – this is a western EU country with a large population and a similar legal system to many other parts of Europe. And it is not the only country whose institutions are clashing with received wisdom on Covid. Finland’s national health authority has disputed the WHO’s recommendation to test as many people as possible for coronavirus, saying it would be a waste of taxpayer’s money, while poorer South East Asian countries are holding off on ordering vaccines, citing an improper use of finite resources.
Testing, especially PCR testing, is the basis for the entire house of cards of Covid restrictions that are wreaking havoc worldwide. From testing comes case numbers. From case numbers come the ‘R number,’ the rate at which a carrier infects others. From the ‘dreaded’ R number comes the lockdowns and the restrictions, such as England’s new and baffling tiered restrictions that come into force next week.
The daily barrage of statistics is familiar to us all by this point, but as time goes on the evidence that something may be deeply amiss with the whole foundation of our reaction to this pandemic – the testing regime – continues to mount.

Damage from the Covid mRNA Vaccine is Irreversible
Hesitancy is Widespread, Even Among Medical Professionals
Robert F. Kennedy Jr: COVID19 Vaccine Should Be Avoided At All Cost
I would like to draw your attention urgently to important issues related to the next Covid-19 vaccination. For the first time in the history of vaccination, the so-called last generation mRNA vaccines intervene directly in the genetic material of the patient and therefore alter the individual genetic material, which represents the genetic manipulation, something that was already forbidden and until then considered criminal.
This intervention can be compared to genetically manipulated food, which is also highly controversial. Even if the media and politicians currently trivialize the problem and even stupidly call for a new type of vaccine to return to normality, this vaccination is problematic in terms of health, morality and ethics, and also in terms of genetic damage that, unlike the damage caused by previous vaccines, will be irreversible and irreparable.
Dear patients, after an unprecedented mRNA vaccine, you will no longer be able to treat the vaccine symptoms in a complementary way. They will have to live with the consequences, because they can no longer be cured simply by removing toxins from the human body, just as a person with a genetic defect like Down syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, Turner syndrome, genetic cardiac arrest, hemophilia, cystic fibrosis, Rett syndrome, etc.), because the genetic defect is forever!
This means clearly: if a vaccination symptom develops after an mRNA vaccination, neither I nor any other therapist can help you, because the damage caused by the vaccination will be genetically irreversible. In my opinion, these new vaccines represent a crime against humanity that has never been committed in such a big way in history. As Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, an experienced doctor, said: In fact, this “promising vaccine” for the vast majority of people should be FORBIDDEN, because it is genetic manipulation! ”
The vaccine, developed and endorsed by Anthony Fauci and funded by Bill Gates, uses experimental mRNA technology. Three of the 15 human guinea pigs (20%) experienced a “serious adverse event”.
Note: messenger RNA or mRNA is the ribonucleic acid that transfers the genetic code of the DNA of the cell nucleus to a ribosome in the cytoplasm, that is, the one that determines the order in which the amino acids of a protein bind and act as a mold or pattern for the synthesis of that protein.

Head of Pfizer Research: Covid Vaccine is Female Sterilization
The vaccine contains a spike protein (see image) called syncytin-1, vital for the formation of human placenta in women. If the vaccine works so that we form an immune response AGAINST the spike protein, we are also training the female body to attack syncytin-1, which could lead to infertility in women of an unspecified duration.
Dr. Wodarg and Dr. Yeadon request a stop of all corona vaccination studies and call for co-signing the petition
2020NEWS
On December 1, 2020, the ex-Pfizer head of respiratory research Dr. Michael Yeadon and the lung specialist and former head of the public health department Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg filed an application with the EMA, the European Medicine Agency responsible for EU-wide drug approval, for the immediate suspension of all SARS CoV 2 vaccine studies, in particular the BioNtech/Pfizer study on BNT162b (EudraCT number 2020-002641-42).
Dr. Wodarg and Dr. Yeadon demand that the studies – for the protection of the life and health of the volunteers – should not be continued until a study design is available that is suitable to address the significant safety concerns expressed by an increasing number of renowned scientists against the vaccine and the study design.
StarGate TV Series Warned Us In 2001 About the
Vaccination Disaster Facing Us Today
On the one hand, the petitioners demand that, due to the known lack of accuracy of the PCR test in a serious study, a so-called Sanger sequencing must be used. This is the only way to make reliable statements on the effectiveness of a vaccine against Covid-19. On the basis of the many different PCR tests of highly varying quality, neither the risk of disease nor a possible vaccine benefit can be determined with the necessary certainty, which is why testing the vaccine on humans is unethical per se.
Furthermore, they demand that it must be excluded, e.g. by means of animal experiments, that risks already known from previous studies, which partly originate from the nature of the corona viruses, can be realized. The concerns are directed in particular to the following points:
The formation of so-called “non-neutralizing antibodies” can lead to an exaggerated immune reaction, especially when the test person is confronted with the real, “wild” virus after vaccination. This so-called antibody-dependent amplification, ADE, has long been known from experiments with corona vaccines in cats, for example. In the course of these studies all cats that initially tolerated the vaccination well died after catching the wild virus.
The vaccinations are expected to produce antibodies against spike proteins of SARS-CoV-2. However, spike proteins also contain syncytin-homologous proteins, which are essential for the formation of the placenta in mammals such as humans. It must be absolutely ruled out that a vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 could trigger an immune reaction against syncytin-1, as otherwise infertility of indefinite duration could result in vaccinated women.
The mRNA vaccines from BioNTech/Pfizer contain polyethylene glycol (PEG). 70% of people develop antibodies against this substance – this means that many people can develop allergic, potentially fatal reactions to the vaccination.
The much too short duration of the study does not allow a realistic estimation of the late effects. As in the narcolepsy cases after the swine flu vaccination, millions of healthy people would be exposed to an unacceptable risk if an emergency approval were to be granted and the possibility of observing the late effects of the vaccination were to follow. Nevertheless, BioNTech/Pfizer apparently submitted an application for emergency approval on December 1, 2020.
CALL FOR HELP: Dr. Wodarg and Dr. Yeadon ask as many EU citizens as possible to co-sign their petition by sending the e-mail prepared here to the EMA.

Mathematical Proof: Vaccines kill babies
Vaccine Use Down From Lockdowns & Deaths Of Infants Down Commensurately
Vaccine study HERE. It is reported that Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) has declined commensurately with a reduced application of vaccines resulting from the Covid 19 lockdown. The vaccine industry has decried, as unfounded, the claims of SIDS and autism being a result of the massive vaccine regimen mandated by law on children HERE under the age of 1 year old. It is reported that SIDS and vaccine use are both down 30% – this study may shed some light on that.

Here is the majority of the Michael McMahon statement to the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry (SCAI). I have missed the first 3 pages as there wasn't much of interest other than information about his Government roles.
MSP for Uddingston and Bellshill up to 2016.
Then there is some information regarding the role of the Public Petitions Committee (PPC) and its rules and proceedures, followed by an overview of the "Powers of the PPC".
I am posting from page 4-11 of an 11 page statement, with some comments of my own. I won't bother pasting any quotes from it here as it's in the attachments.
What I will say is that throughout the statement Mr McMahon makes many references to the Legal Department and Civil Servants (unelected) deciding Government policy over the heads of elected officials.
Later statements by other Government Ministers will show in more detail the roles of "Advisors", "Special Advisors" (SPADS) and the Legal Department in deciding Government policy.
FULL STATEMENT CAN BE FOUND HERE:

Covid: Health and care workers get first vaccine in Wales
8 December 2020
Health and care workers have been the first people in Wales to get a vaccine to protect against Covid.
Vaccinations were rolled out from Tuesday morning at seven sites across Wales as part of the UK-wide immunisation programme.
Dr Ami Jones, an intensive care consultant at Aneurin Bevan health board, was another early recipient of the vaccine.
She said: "It's huge - a light at the end of the tunnel. I hope people realise how important this is and how safe it is.
"People should trust the science. It's to protect my family and other people."
Among the first was care home worker Craig Atkins, 48, of Ebbw Vale, who got a jab at a vaccination site in Cwmbran.
More than 1,700 people received the vaccination on Tuesday, according to the Welsh Government.
It came a day after Wales reported 2,000 Covid cases in a single day for the first time.

Coronavirus Scotland: £185m business support 'too little too late'
9 December 2020
KATE Forbes has been accused of offering too little too late to businesses on the brink of collapse after she unveiled £185 million of support – but it won't be available until January.
Scotland’s Finance Secretary told MSPs that funding already passed onto the Scottish Government from Westminster will now be allocated - but £300 million will be held back as "contingency".
Ms Forbes said the £185 million pot of funding will be handed out on a “sector by sector basis so that it is appropriately targeted”.
Hospitality businesses, such as pubs and restaurants, will also be offered one-off payments of either £2,000 or £3,000 in January to help them mitigate the traditional post-Christmas dip in demand.
Included in the £185 million, is £60 million for the tourism sector – details of which are yet to be set out.
The funding will include £15 million for the wedding sector and supply chains including photographers, one-off grants totalling £15 million for mobile close contact services, such as hairdressers and a £19 million fund and one-off grants for taxi drivers.
A £5 million fund will be made available to travel agents along with almost £6 million for coach companies and tour operators and £1.5 million for visitor attractions.
The Scottish Government has also made £1.5 million available to “travelling show people ineligible of other support”.
Ms Forbes said: “We have listened to businesses and this assistance will be provided on a sector-by-sector basis, targeted at those who need it most.
“We are developing grant schemes for hospitality, for the events sector, live music and cultural venues, for the arts, indoor football centres and for the food and drink sector, including £1.8 million for brewers.”
But business leaders have lashed out at the announcement – insisting the lack of support in the lead-up to the Christmas period will do little to help sectors already in trouble having been forced to close their doors during the pandemic.
Director of the Scottish Licensed Trade Association, Colin Wilkinson, said the Scottish Government “needs to get a serious grip on the reality of the cataclysmic devastation” facing the sector.
He added: “The Finance Secretary’s ‘Christmas gift’ of £2,000 or £3,000, although we will have to wait until January to get it, will at least help pay some of the recent extra lockdown costs incurred by many of Scotland’s pubs and bars – so the one-off grant has gone even before we get it.
“The announcement of a £60 million fund for the tourism sector, the details of which will be developed in consultation with the industry, will we hope include those organisations at the coalface of representing the licensed hospitality sector which is a major contributor to Scotland’s overall tourism industry.
“Some sectors supported by this new package have done better than the licensed hospitality industry and this only raises the question of why there is such disproportionality between the level of support given and the size of the sector needing financial aid. We accept that all businesses need support but surely any financial support should be directed to those hardest hit and in most need.”
Andrew McRae, the Federation of Small Businesses’ Scotland policy chair, has welcomed the support.
He added: “While we’d like to have seen a speedier and more systematic approach to supporting local businesses crushed by the crisis, we’re pleased that ministers have seen the light following representations.
“However we’re now left with a myriad of schemes at various stages of delivery, with much of the cash unlikely to reach firms until the new year. In the future, we need to see policymakers in Edinburgh deliver help for local businesses at the same pace as they implement restrictions on the economy.”
Liz Cameron, chief executive of the Scottish Chambers of Commerce, said the additional help “will be cold comfort to many businesses who have so little cash left they have only weeks to survive”.
She added: “We are not convinced that the urgency of the need to pay our rent and other costs are fully understood.
“For many, January will be too late to save business owners, their families and their employees from economic ruin. This should be the top priority for all organisations who are going to be involved in supporting businesses.’’
