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? He's an accountant apparently.

Roger Mexico Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 49 minutes ago, Numbnuts said: I read above and first thoughts , 17 days without unexplained cases . My thought would be it implies there have been explained ones . Is it just me being old and thick !?? Byron nearly got it right: Explaining epidemics to the Nation I wish he would explain his explanation. What Quayle is using is a special Manx definition for Manx viruses, which will of course behave differently here than anywhere else.. It implies if some superspreader had been swanning around infecting the population in their hundreds yesterday, it wouldn't matter providing we knew where they caught it. Obviously this is bonkers. If you use the definition that everyone else on Earth (including the WHO) use, then it's been 11 days since any community (as opposed to managed isolation) cases. That said we don't know how long those had been isolating before they tested positive (though we do for the seven KWC teenagers the days before) and it might be that circumstances might make the situation safer that it would be on paper. As ever secrecy meant that it is difficult to judge the decisions made over this latest outbreak. Which may be the point of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to his Tynwald bio: Retail 1994-2001, bar manager 2001-2003, worked for a local insurance. company 2003-2014, starting as general administrator, then senior administrator and finally as a support specialist. Since 2014 I have worked for a local project firm, acting as operations manager 2014-2015 and Chief Executive 2015-2016. So not a (qualified) accountant that I can see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt_Mainwaring Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) You're all sat here behind your keyboards judging someone who you probably don't know, doing something they would have never expected to be facing. David was an exceptionally clever, astute person at school and as far as I am concerned is handling things very well. Before anyone asks, no I don't know him personally, he's not my MHK, I'm just saying what I see. He's honest and appears to care. Looking back over the years we could be in a much worse situation.

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. You are great. And right. They are a bunch of clowns...
