Is it obligatory, or rather the norm perhaps, in these lockdown video conferences to have members of the family occasionally skulking about in the background etc? I blame the Professor Robert Kelly incident. Edited January 27, 2021 by Barlow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 On Raconomics. I think both sides are now too entrenched for there to be any change? There must be some background that we do not know? I believe that the size of the 'sample' is large enough to be split, some for here, some to Liverpool? We would gain early access for tracking, the UK for its' base numbers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladys Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 5 hours ago, Nom de plume said: I'm trying to process it. We had 50 'cases' not so long ago. I might be wrong but was it two that were admitted to Nobles but are now out & recovered? One of them (possibly both) was in for a procedure & tested positive through a routine test. You'll do well to convince me that we shouldn't be shielding the vulnerable until they are vaccinated whilst the rest of us crack on. I know it's nauseous, me I mean, churning out the same old drivel to counter balance the same old drivel by the same old protagonists. The whole thing - Economic armageddon, educational failings, unemployment, families separated, healthcare suspended ... everything, it just doesn't sit right. Just me, I know. It's not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not have been a bad shout on some occasions though. You'd be hard pressed to pass on STDs by breathing on someone though, that's the big difference.

Albert Tatlock Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) If we were on a par with the UK population...this week, we'd have just reached 133 dead with 4900 covid positives. Worth it just to put a few people on horse trams and a couple of steam trains? ...don't think so. ETA: Though with a totally overwhelmed ICU here, deaths might, more realistically, have been closer to 150...with medical staff having to have made very difficult choices as to who to save.

Wonder what @rachomics reply might entail... http://www.iomtoday.co.im/article.cfm?id=60224&headline=Covid analysis can't be done here§ionIs=NEWS&searchyear=2021 I heard it via Tynwald Live last week. It's almost like they haven't realised that Taxa Genomics employs more people than just me, just like Livepool do. I have to wonder whether HQ and DA believe that the eminent prof's are doing the work themselves But then, if that's the only reason they can come up with they're at least conceding that I might know a thing or two (or Liverpool have said the infamous words "Why don't you just use Rachel?"). Although it does make me wonder why we only have a single Chief Minister and a single Health Minister. Surely we should be doubling up, just in case, so we aren't reliant on one person? Deputies, with deputies with deputies? How many deputies would we need to ensure consistent service within the DHSC?

What figures are you using that make you think ICU would be "totally overwhelmed" If we had been in exactly the same position as UK last week we would have had six in ICU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
