Andy Onchan Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) I wonder if any of the journos will ask for the stats on how many travel exemptions have been issued by month and by category since the scheme was introduced? I haven't seen or heard of any of those stats for a long time. Edited January 12, 2021 by Andy Onchan 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking specifically about the 1886 venue that they (the dubious duo) don't seem to talk about anymore. Or did I miss a mention? To the best of my knowledge this still hasn’t been raised, 111 advice was inconsistent at the time, but I believe people who wanted a test were given one (all staff had one) but there has been absolutely no mention of second tests and they could have quite easily gone on to be Asymptomatic now, we unfortunately won’t find out until symptomatic cases come forward now. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it would be nice if you didn't need to keep a spreadsheet to find this out. It is possible that they were in day 1,7 or 13 tests - if three people tested positive on day one fourteen days ago, they will have dropped off the active cases list today to be replaced by the three new positives - in effect cancelling each other out. The government figures issued (on Twitter) fourteen days ago did show three new cases - I don't know if they were day one isolation or not. Totally agree that we should be told exactly what type of new case we have to save all this detective work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should just delete last years figures and start afresh, it’s absolutely no use having historic data alongside recent stuff, when the same processes aren’t even being followed. I do understand perhaps keeping the total deaths out of respect for those we’ve lost. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't particularly want to get stuck in the UK or end up trying to travel back and forth (and then isolate) so I politely turned them down. So, our lot know better than Jeff Besos? You just could not make this up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barlow Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Well Banker, give Howard the sage his erm, due, he has been saying such as "make no mistake, the virus will come back". With an attitude like that I am not surprised the "virus is back". IoMGov should have had the game sewn up tight. Yes it costs, obviously, but nothing like the cost of lockdown.

The figures really do need tidying up, all we need is active cases in community and active cases in isolation (would cover both returning travellers and rest of household) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, do you think they do it just to make it look better - a way of crow baring in how many tests they've done etc. to make themselves look better while delivering bad news? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I read the first line I was expecting Dr Glover to say Amazon were about to sell test kits and offering to do rapid testing for everyone (not just for staff), that really would be quite something. Not to discredit Dr Glover in anyway but I can’t imagine working for one of the worlds ruthless businessmen would have been straightforward, It would be like signing your soul over to the devil but the fact her business was even on his radar is quite something in itself.
