Seems if my info is correct someone in a meeting at possibly poker stars is positive ! I've just walked out of hsbc following a meeting.

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. They are not rumours. I agree that its unacceptable but I don't agree that vaccinations would have made a difference. HE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN IN THE COMMUNITY. FULL STOP. IF IT WAS AUTHORISED SOMEONE SHOULD BE IN COURT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladys Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 DOHLE apparently. Now, I am confused. If the relative was a returning traveller, then they would have been holed up in a hotel so no contact with family, so no problem, apparently.

Do they also isolate away from the rest of their family? I suspect not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 If another lock down is in the offing then compliance this time will be much harder, despite the logic of it. I predict a lot of people will go off island and take their chances. It's still the getting back that is a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanxpilot Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 The IOMSPCo crew member was in a non passenger facing role - as was the non IOM based crew member who tested positive last week. It is possible (if not likely) that these cases are linked. Do the IOMSPCo really need to have UK staff on board at these times? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is it could be a staff member who loads the freight on the boat and doesn't actually travel, who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickyBlue Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 The ever-so-reliable Manx rumour mill - which is of course never wrong - suggests it's the ship's cook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
