The Chief Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Ashie got to put out the 'no community cases' line again immediately, remember its a 'CLUSTER' add any other words to that you feel necessary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure of the merits of mass scale panicking and plunging everyone back into lock down. Really, it shouldn't come as any great surprise cases arise. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banker Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) But the report says that they were traced through contact tracing and no need for public to take any action, guess Tesco will be rammed by now!!! https://www.three.fm/news/isle-of-man-news/seven-new-cases-of-covid-19-identified-in-the-isle-of-man/ Edited February 18, 2021 by Banker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The situation was that they had some big events with positive cases, and thus, the transmission could be widespread. That caused the lockdown last time. Not the case numbers. I'm all for proportionate action, but we'll find out if it's widespread later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladys Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Am I seeing a pattern here? In late 2020, there were calls for periodic testing of all returnees, dismissed on clinical advice, but then introduced just before we had the Dec clusters (I won't say outbreak). A couple of weeks ago there were calls to examine the IOMSPC as a potential weak link with a suggestion of vaccinating all crew. Again dismissed on clinical advice and then up pops a positive crew member. If there is a policy of elimination, then surely these weak links should be dealt with regardless of the clinical advice. Vaccination is good and there is evidence that it does reduce transmission. Why wouldn't you just jab them all? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
