Covid creep

There will “almost certainly” be another wave of coronavirus and protecting NHS elective care during it will be a priority, health secretary Humza Yousaf said.

Of course there will be another one. But we have the vaccines now and people are more aware of own responsibilities. SNP would have us all lock up inside again – no money, mentally going nuts suicidal thoughts through the roof, cancerous issues rising and all for control and to hide everything else that’s wrong in NHS... ambulance services, for a start.

Robert Mcgarrie That'll be what [Jason Leitch] told him, who in turn was maybe told by someone who actually knows about such things. Hospitals weren't supposed to be allowed to break in Scotland. They did, and they still are broken today. His role seemed to be tell us to avoid them at all costs.

Emma Malcolm Enough already, this has been the biggest scam ever. The survival rate is nearly 98 per cent , their “pandemic” figures are based on people dying within 28 days of testing positive regardless of what they died from. Start concentrating on treating cancer patients, you know, the people who have been forgotten.

Jackie Cavallaro

It's basically the same as the flu, there will always be new waves , there's nothing we can do but take the vaccines and learn to live with it.

Ian Kennedy

Yes, the scary return of something with a 99.97 per cent recovery rate… just more waffle before they give away another £ 400 billion of taxpayers’ money, and further damage what's left of the economy.

Joe Mcjoe

Any evidence? Or just attention-seeking?

John Foster

Another opportunity to go into lockdown. Another Party Political Broadcast opportunity for Nicola.

Vince Vincent

Of course Yousaf, this statement would have nothing to do with the fact the SNP are about to [have] Scotland’s lockdown measures introduced during Covid written into permanent law, does it? Sickening, considering no other nation on the planet has made this move.

Elizabeth Mcarthur

Show us the evidence, Humza. We know you want power to run our lives so this soundbite is just before Holyrood debates this.

Grumpy

Anything to keep us locked up and them in power.
