Banker Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Sunday 24th January - We now have 15 (known) active cases of COVID-19 in the Bailiwick. There have been two recoveries and seven new cases were found overnight. One is a new case of community seeding and six are contacts of known cases. During the live briefing today Dr Brink announced a further 20 new cases, these are in addition and will be reflected in tomorrows stats going a bit pear shaped in Guernsey unfortunately 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanShimmin Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Hard to tell what the next few days/weeks will bring. My guess is 'delayed onset covid' (or whatever phrase it becomes known by) will become more well known. It's been detected in New Zealand. It seems to have happened here twice to seed the latest outbreak, and it would potentially explain Guernsey. The UK won't notice it as they're continuing with their laughable 10 days isolation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like they're on the brink... yes cases found in a few schools so closed to even key workers children for 2 days minimum, seems worse than our outbreak as at least we had some known sources Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you feel the same about firefighters? Coastguard? Well. I doubt there is a country anywhere in the world with so many fire appliances per head ff population, and very few other than major cities with so many fire stations in such a small geographical area. Can you think of any? Its another example of huge government bloat (250k design fees for a new airport fire station that will be able to see the new firestation by the Sefton express through the window) Edited January 24, 2021 by horatiotheturd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per the CAA and ICAO, they have to be at any part of the airport within 3 minutes of getting the call. Ideally within 2. They also have to have a minimum amount of water they can get on the fire within that time frame to handle aircraft the size that they do. Transitioning to the secure airfield would already obliterate that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roughly 10 in Douglas 4 in Ramsey 3 in peel 1 in laxey 1 in Kirk Michael 4 at new station by Sefton express 4 at airport Plus cars, incident units etc. So roughly one for every 3,200 people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really don't think that there is anyway on earth that thought could have been given to reducing costs by sharing some of the facilities of an airport firestation and another one right across the road? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What facilities can they share? The machinery is totally different, you'd have to build the station to cover either side of the fence and protect it anyway, as you can't have people being able to cross to airside accidentally. The airport fire station needs to essentially have a path directly to the runway per regulation. The airport fire station needs to also be manned whenever flights are operating, there is an enormous number of rules governing it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
