The inoculation is not yet and is unlikely to be a panacea.

My honest opinion, we’ll be fully open June 1st without the need to isolate on return. The Chester Street vax hub opened today I think? Will be interesting to see what numbers they get through this week. Its a great Monday, things are turning. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banker Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I don’t think UK will do it but Israel are going to ban unvaccinated from gyms, restaurants etc Israeli Health Minister Yuli Edelstein is proposing banning people who cannot prove they have been vaccinated from shops, malls, restaurants and gyms 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, not pleased with Ashie on the Nations Propaganda Mouthpiece yet again being not committal as regards to the costs of work and kit out of the Chester Street site. Fine, keep silent it’s only taxpayers funds. It’s likely that the injection or vaccine may be required annually, like influenza jabs. If this works out to be the case, then is Chester Street and other hubs likely to be expensively run and maintained taxpayers property? Open? Transparent? Noooo way! Corrupt? Who Knows? Ashy only talks ball park figures. In the IOM ball parks are littered with dog shit, litter and chewing gum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current set ups are to sort out the initial vaccination of the population of the island. What happens in future probably isn't clear at the moment. But it will come st a cost clearly.

The NSC has a secondary hall which would have been ideal but what do I know. We’re nearing the end of this madness & lives / businesses can soon return to a semblance of normality. That’s all that matters now. The scenes across the country are going to be quite something as Grandparents see their grandchildren for the first time, etc etc beautiful thoughts & good times ahead.

Which you would think is all positive and giving people something to look forward to. Yet, there are a significant number over here who would seem to prefer that we continue to live in our island bubble cut off from the rest of the world. This whole thing does seem to have made an already slightly scary section of our population who hate everything from more than 20 miles from St John’s, even more determined to keep us all isolated. I am really surprised how many people are saying they would happily live like this forever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasyJet & Loganair are going to be killing the pig when this blows over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we should move all the isolationist population along with anti vaxxers to the calf of man where they can live peacefully without visiting families & tourists to disturb them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is to justify Ashie’s worth every penny comment. Definitely modern day CM material when Alfs pissed over £200m up the wall, every vested interested group has had their cut, and the banks come calling! The word in the adjacent isle, is that cricket clubs are using their indoor facilities and pavilion for inoculations and their car parks used as a testing/swab centre. This is being repeated across the country, sports clubs, community centres etc etc. It’s worth noting that the Crosby Pub used their premises as a makeshift Spar. I’m absolutely sure that most rules and regulations were adhered to, but were every rule and regulation were followed? Maybe or Maybe not? The IOM bangs on about community, but most thing they do comes at a cost - which is pointless, needless and leaves the next generation to pick up the costs. Rules are Rules, Stickler for rules and punishment for those breaking said rules. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

File on Four BBC Radio 4: 'Most horrendous shifts we will ever encounter.' (less than 2 minutes, give it a listen) @Barlow I really want to see your point here, I genuinely do. There is nobody more thankful than I for the hard work & dedication of the NHS believe me (another story, another day). The figures (approx) are these: 88% of all UK Covid deaths were aged 70 years old and above 55% of all UK Covid hospital admissions were 70 years old and above That age group are now largely well on their way to being vaccinated. By the end of April, nearly all over 50's and those deemed to have underlying health conditions will also be vaccinated. The risk & strain on the NHS will be diminished. Are you following?
