A few contractors working on the prom. Two of them, in bright orange, walking side by side. Chatting away. No social distancing. Plonkers You know 100% percent that they aren't some of the ones here from across, who might have travelled here together weeks ago and now be in a flat together?

Not sure what you mean, but for the record they were IOM contractors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still doesn't mean 100 percent they aren't from the same household. Probably aren't, but the fact that people are passing comment on what others do (outside, zero risk) winds me up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope not anyway and my gut feeling is, no they wouldn't A lot about the handling of this situation is not just about professional medical advice, but more about politics and political decision making - and all that that entails. Incidentally, I know a few doctors/retired doctors and medical professionals. Especially during that 6 months of freedom I conversated long and hard, and their opinions on the whole Covid-19 situation is as diverse and extreme as any group of people I know. Even that of MF.

A couple of nights without big raids and you'd have likely been arguing that it was time to end the blackout. Constantly arguing against the rules and making unnecessary journeys. 5 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarley Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I stumbled upon a daily isolation blog written recently by a Guernsey lad. He and others in his family travelled home for a funeral. They arrived on 8/1 and the funeral is scheduled for this coming Wednesday. His day 1 blog details the differences between UK and Guernsey's airport and the experience of testing at the airport on arrival. https://jehanswindup.blogspot.com/2021/01/quarantine-blog-day-1.html?spref=tw&m=1 His last isolation blog details day 13 testing and the fact that they were able to stop isolating six hours later that same day after receiving their negative results by text. That last day was 21/1. I feel for them, to go through the two weeks of isolation only to get shut down two days later. Sounds like his grandfather isn't going to get the send off the family's been waiting for, for weeks. I'm waiting to see if he adds a lockdown entry. https://jehanswindup.blogspot.com/2021/01/quarantifreedom-blog.html?m=1 Worth a read. I also read days 2&3 but, well, I do have a life, such as it is, so I gave the rest of the entries a miss and skipped to the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southernman Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 In the briefing this morning, the Guernsey Medical Chief praised the IOM approach to dealing with the recent outbreak and said they were more or less doing the same things. It made me proud. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. I am reliably informed that the issue of Covid is more or less settled now and the belief is that the vaccination rollout will sort it out. The atmosphere is very much about the internal politics, who is looking well, who managed to keep their head down, who will be queen bee etc. Professional clinical advice has been argued at times, only to be expected. It's about who is going to come out on top now. Not related I'm sure but some senior figures retiring very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see the vac rollout being the end if it at all, just an easing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
