TheTeapot Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Markwell House is barely open to the public anyway, and has been from the start of the pandemic. Benefits office mornings only open, job centre only Mon, Wed and Fri of those mornings. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absokute doddle to add more handsets into any government building and give the a screen to see calls waiting etc. Why on earth don't people have the option to book their jabs remotely when the letter arrives and this echo don't want to do that phone 111. I have a family member on her third day of trying and they are talking of ramping up to 1000 a day. Shambles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I particularly liked the map they published for their more geographically-challenged readers: Showing Ramsey as the only significant place on the Island and the important Welsh town of Llandudnow. And that red dot suggesting the real source of infection is Amlwch. Edited March 3, 2021 by Roger Mexico Typo 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesypeas Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 .....Facebook Terence George 1tSpg8oguctnns horresdSt · Unfortunately I’ve been contacted by someone who attended the gig I put on at the hydro on the 26th feb, saying they have tested positive for Covid-19. So with that being the case I’m asking everyone who turned up that night to self isolate and to book a test. This for their own good and for the good of the community. Stay safe peeps ! EDIT: no need to book a test or to take any further steps if you do not have any symptoms 3131 20 comments 103 shares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nellie Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 So, when we look at where we are today, the wheels have come off, big style since New Year We're in lockdown number 3 Number of cases already greater than during lockdown 2 Unexplained cases popping up all over the place, and no tracing seems able to connect them Steam Packet protocols failed, which is probably the root cause of LD3 Vaccinations miles behind all other home nations and CD's (we are clearly last of all locations that should be benefiting from UK success in this area) Vaccination programme kicked-off at a very slow pace, because 'It isn't a race' per HQ. This has set the tone for the ongoing slow progress Scandal of throwing vaccines away - OK only a tiny %, but the PR is desperate Hardly any vaccinations taking place today (c30 on dashboard) Inflexibility over using our huge stock of vaccines in a more flexible way Communications strategy in disarry with midnight messaging, or being left trailing by problem venues own messages 111 system not working - not clear if it is technical or overwhelmed by calls Complaints about archaic booking process for vaccines, which seems to not be scaleable as they try to ramp up numbers HQ freely admitting that the level of vaccinations needs to be higher to consider more a different overall approach It doesn't bode well for getting out of this, in three weeks. Does make you feel that what happened last year was more luck, than anything else. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoymouse Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I think this may end up worse than lockdown 1 in all honesty, every day it’s new venues, different places on the island, showing it’s a widespread outbreak and in no way is if contained. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. The free for all for over a week after Java was ridiculous. I'm not saying they should have jumped into a full lockdown but social distancing and restrictions on gatherings was a no brainer. You could see the current situation coming a mile off. I see Kensington Group Practice has also now been added as a low risk venue. Can't see that ending well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely true. But if you had written that even a week ago you would have been dismissed as a 'Karen'. You would have been told that you were welcome to social-distance but that there was no reason why anyone else should. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
