Whilst the UK situation is like it is, options should be minimal and kept to 'essential routes'. Regarding IOMSPCo staff I can't believe they weren't being subject to rapid testing every time they sailed. Ignoring the debate around accuracy etc of rapid tests, we had a duty to protect these people. You, I and everyone else knows that when that boat is at see and there's not much to do with few passengers, there's going to be mixing of crews on fag breaks or whatever else. I refuse to believe that isn't happening. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quilp Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Robertshaw's been banging on about this for a number of weeks. He'll be all over local media now. And there's the delay in turning around test results... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nom de plume Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 If we’ve got another lockdown coming because the Govt. failed to shore up our weakest link, ie the border & by vaccinating the SPCo. workers as a priority (and ahead of all) ... HQ & DA can go & whistle. Shambolic. Yes, a vaccinated person can still carry & infect another contact but the risk has proven to be diminished. I really hope these rumours are just rumours.

asitis Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Just been told Pokerstars and Micro gaming have been sent home and possibly hsbc and a beauty salon closing. Seems if my info is correct someone in a meeting at possibly poker stars is positive ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is, every group thinks it should be priority. Get the old done first cos they're most at risk, get the healthworkers done first cos they look after you if you're sick, get care homes done first so everyone is safe, get the teachers done first to keep the schools open etc I get your point though. I'm not excited at the prospect of lockdown III. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
