Are the number of positive tests a problem if hospitalisations and deaths remain low. |  | |  |

The more cases (I think) the more chance of a dangerous new variant happening. |  |

I’ll await confirmation from the Prof, but I am pretty sure Catullus is correct. More cases equals more opportunity for the virus to mutate. |  | |  |

Yes-Catullus is right. The more cases, the more virus, the greater the chance for mutations arising. One of the reasons vaccination is so important is to reduce the amount of virus circulating. The Alpha (Kent) variant was though to have arisen from someone with a long-term infection-the virus changed in the body to avoid a developing immune response. There is a danger that vaccines, if not used properly, can drive viral evolution-but thankfully this appears not have happened in the regimens used in the UK. |  | |  |

Scotland is the sick man of Europe. Probably the worst place in the U.K. to live. A lot has to do with the lack of sunshine that Scotland has. |  |

Maybe she should introduce a minimum price for drugs, just like she did for alcohol, that turned out to be a resounding success. |  |

I see Nicola is upset that the UK prime minister doing his job in all parts of the UK is upset he won't visit her. Last time he was in Scotland she complained it was not essential travel. Good old Boris he has decided he should visit strangers for non work related purposes and distract Nicola from her day job of asking for more money. |  |

Johnson has no remit in Scotland. The shitehouse had to hide with Police Scotland. The Scots would have given him the hostile reception he deserves. The Scots keep voting in Comrade Nicola. Lets remember it was Johnson who let the Johnson variant in by not stopping flights from India, when Pakistan and Bangladesh were stopped, although they had lower covid rates. The Indian variant is on Johnson. The UKs worst ever PM. |  |

Johnson is the UK prime minister he can travel anywhere he wants to within the UK. As most matter are not to devolved to Scotland he has a full authority to go where he wants in a free democracy. The scientific evidence is what Johnson followed as you well know. As soon as our scientists produce the evidence that the Indian variant was more infectious the UK stopped flights to India. I know you are not a qualified scientists so that may be hard for you to understand. |  |

You are wrong with regards to the situation in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan. Pakistan was placed on the red list 9/4 when it had an infection rate of 21 per million, it didn’t have any of the South African or Brazilian variants and most of the cases were the UK variant. Bangladesh was placed on the red list 9/4 and had an infection rate of 42 per million some of which included South African variant (which was the cause of the recent issue with France) while India was up around 88infections per million including the Brazilian, South African and Indian variant. Despite having a higher infection rate, India was not placed on the red list for a further 2 weeks. During April there were 42,000 trips between India and the Uk. The Delta variant was not categorised as a variant of concern until after India was designated a red country, the delay in applying the Red status by our government appears to be attributable to the fact they were negotiating a trade deal with India and not the science.

Still Nicola and Drakeford could have banned travelling from India via England or the rest of Europe if they wanted to. After all Drakeford banned anyone from England entering Wales. |  |
