Major Rushen Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 1 hour ago, Manx Expat said: It has been incredibly unpleasant for many people and they are locked down more than the actual prisoners (you know people who have committed actual crimes) are and so Daphne Caine is absolutely right. I’ve spoken to about 5 people now who have said pretty much the same thing. We should all be trusted to self-isolate just like key workers are trusted and not banged up for two weeks. When you get there let us know what it’s like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is exactly like Guantanamo. What a shambles of a human being you are. I'd estimate,either your underwear is getting too tight,or your girls blouse is of a loose fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad_manx Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Manx Expat does make a fair point though. People who test positive are allowed to self isolate at home while those with a travel history have to stay at the comis . It should be the other way around in my opinion. And how do key workers get to self isolate at home. The obvious answer will be that they are under contract . The same thing could be done to people who want to return in my opinion..Get them to give a written declaration that they will abide by the rules and with severe penalties it they break it . Far more easier and with less expense than what is happening at the comis . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is exactly like Guantanamo. They were locked down more than the actual prisoners at the actual prison. Only allowed out for one hours exercise a day. Some cooped up with kids in one room. Just listen to you people you’re absolutely hysterical. They’re mum and dads, parent, grand parents who made the mistake of leaving the island and need to return. They are not plague carriers or Ian bloody Huntley. You need to listen to yourselves and the absolute bollocks you’re talking. Comis may well be a an abbreviation or derivation of 'Commissariat' i.e. A department of the USSR. So you couldn't have been more wrong really - had you said Gulag instead of Guantanamo people would have been more sympathetic. Being more serious, I agree with much that you say - had any of these people actually been positive then they would 'Patients' entitled to healthcare not prisoners. ( and if Manx taxpayers, legally entitled to healthcare here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe non key workers aren't the bunch of complete retards who can’t follow basic instructions that they seem to think we are after all. I think that when ( if) we get to see the minutes of advice given to CoMin we will find that they tracked key workers coming, going, self isolating and found no, or next to no, infection and no leak of infection into the community. Those being repatriated were thought a much higher risk, they’d been in all sorts of areas, some with high rates of infection and had been flown back to UK, exposed to infection. Valid worries. Now they’ve had 3 sets of returnees they’ve got the same results, not positives, no infection into the community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got to remember they'll still adopt a stupid approach of 20 a week. So of there are 200 waiting to get back......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
