Contact them, offer to part fund it in return for a percentage of tmfuture profits. Set up a centre at our ports and go level 3 in conjuction with the existing regime and also this test at entry. Six weeks in if its picked up cases that the pcr test missed then we vmcan build a world beating open border policy and also sell this now proven test around the world and put the Isle of man on the map. They would love funding and a small and controlled test base. Or just keep the borders closed and let all the opportunities pass us by But would it be any better than PCR? You still need a lab. The problem is, you can't pick something up that isn't there yet, it'd make no real difference. Just, less like your brain was poked. We could fix that by taking China's anal swab approach. At least lateral flow is done without a lab. That's why that is popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I belive it was supporting Albert's claim that the hospital would be overwhelmed if we had the same level of infection as the UK. Looking forward to your workings out.

horatiotheturd Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 19 hours ago, Albert Tatlock said: Here is my logic: UK 11th Nov 50,000 deaths. IOM par equivalent: 66 deaths. UK 26th January 100,000 deaths. IOM par equivalent: 133 deaths Assuming average hospitalisation prior to death is 21 days. IOM equivalent change 11th Nov to 26th January 67 deaths (67 * 21 days = 1414 ICU days) 11th Nov to 26th January is 77 day period. Assuming flat growth: 1414/77 means 18 in ICU any one time. But it was exponential, so number would actually build from 0 to 67 exponentially. And above doesn't even include anyone in ICU that would have recovered. Therefore overwhelmed, even with flat growth curve, let alone exponential growth - and not even taking into account hospitalised survivors. @Albert Tatlockthese ones? That are clearly bollocks?

horatiotheturd Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Albert How many people were in hospital with covid on the worst day in January? Then translate to the iom. Don't over complicate things. Its a very simple sum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am no statistician but your figures show the hospital would not be overwhelmed yes, BUT with such a small amount of ICU beds it would only take one big RTC and we are up sh1t creek.

If anyone wants to back albert up here chuck this post a like. If you think he is wrong chuck it a confused face It's not a very simple sum. It's certainly not a day by day UK comparison. It's a cumulative issue (of the 21 days people are hospitalised typically before they die) for a single hospital with 67 people (the equivalent to UK deaths) arriving and dying there over a period of 77 days. And it desn't even include any of those hospitalised and recovered. Getting some of your barmy innumerate mates to mob a post doesn't change that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that not the problem? No. Firstly because we would never get to that point anyway. Secondly because we would all be at home and limited to 40mph if we were out. Thirdly because we can increase icu capacity like we did in the spring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
