There is a bit more to it than just saying “ Hey there’s an empty industrial estate unit over there with cheap rental let’s use that” But the rest of the world reuse buildings and put tables in them. Explain more because I really don't.get it? Parking, disability access, bus route, way in and way out, toilets, roof.

Their Chief Medical Officer has openly said it is very unlikely their borders will be 'open before 2022... even after the majority of the population get the jab. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/jan/19/reopening-australias-border-will-be-one-of-the-last-things-to-change-says-chief-medical-officer It's not fair giving desperate people false hope that the borders are going to magically open. Why do some MHKs think we have some magic power to be able to let people in and not be put straight back in lockdown? What. Like we did all last year and like loads of other countries do? Delighted to hear hq deviate from eradicate to live with. There is hope that common sense might prevail Edited January 21, 2021 by horatiotheturd 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something we could see, feel ot hear So why are the government bothering with genomics at all, and also bothering to ‘chase results up’? They must obviously think it’s worth doing, unlike yourself. If it’s worth doing according to the government, and we can get it done in 36 hours rather than weeks later, PLUS keep the work on the Island, I don’t get why you’re being so precious about this topic?

Gladys Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 40 minutes ago, The Voice of Reason said: I’ve already said that if you’re not part of the decision making process and don’t have access to the merits or otherwise of each location you can’t determine the ‘best’ location’ You need access to all the relevant information. So I’m afraid I can’t tell you why that this is the ‘best’ location. But I’d be interested to know how you have come to the conclusion that the airport is not the best location,given your work in logistics God forbid that anyone should feel accountable or feel that an explanation may be due to those who are paying for this. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This location just seems so stupid, I really don't understand why they make these decisions. Plans, 3D mockups, timber framed walls and plasterboard, probably electrics. Insane.

Interesting posts Filippo. Your making a good time of it. I might shuffle down the shops for a pint of milk and a loaf of bread later, the highlight of my week. Is there any plan to fix the server connection problem? I lost touch with the forum because of that, lately. I have various devices, and can't keep all them logged in to MF all time. I am in London at the moment; I had thought that my own location was the problem. Who is responsible for these issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You keep constantly responding negatively to it for some unknown reason. I’m no scientist, but as I’ve stated, if the government are doing it, then presumably it’s worth doing in this instance. Yet again though, why use a Liverpool company and wait weeks for results when we have the expertise on island. I’d rather not keep hearing you say that you don’t know all the time- the repetition is boring and unproductive. Either discuss why we’re not using Dr Glover (I appreciate that you don’t know) or stop responding in your inane way, as you’re providing nothing.
