Anyone heard anything more about that? Having a Border Force is one thing, keeping tabs on the people once they've got in is the weak spot.

Banker Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Howie makes sky news! Isle of Man to come out of circuit-breaker lockdown on Monday Schools and businesses will reopen with residents no longer asked to stay at home, chief minister Howard Quayle has said. Social distancing and face coverings will be a matter of personal choice. In a public briefing, Mr Quayle said: "Today is the 17th day where we have seen no unexplained community cases. This is a remarkable achievement and a cause of real optimism. It is clear we are heading in the right direction. "I must thank the great Manx public for making the right decisions even though at times I know it was tough." The Isle of Man entered its second lockdown on 7 January. Border controls restricting travel to the island remain in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were 2 new cases today, both from travel, so "explained". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horatiotheturd Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 2 minutes ago, the stinking enigma said: So have the unexplained cases that we had now been explained? If they explained the unexplained cases then they would all be explained and there would have never been eny unexplained cases so then they would have to explain why we went into an unexplained lockdown when in fact all cases could be explained and none were unexplained. Then Howard, the CM that noone can explaine, would have to explaine to the rest of the unexplicably elected Council of ministers why the unexplained couldn't have been explained more quickly. Then Paul Moulton would ask for an explanation at a press briefing, and well, you can imagine the rest. I don't think I need to explain it. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my Flu jab in a cupboard at the Chemists!!! The man talks bollocks. Nowhere else in the world is building purpose built facilities. What was his experience before being elected to Douglas Council. I remember he served me in the Outback once but I assume he has a glittering career beyond being a barman to qualify him for his current position? 3 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
