Yep. Treat people like they're children and they'll usually reward you by acting like children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here on the Isle of Man (Where You Can) the continue to treat us like children who must be shielded from the truth. We are not being shielded for our own benefit though.

Hugh G Rection Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I think the general consensus is to wait it out for a few more days and see what happens. From what seems to be going on, by my own perceptions, I think come Monday Howie and cronies will shit their pants and lock us down again. As a further note, yesterday’s briefing was an absolute shambles, we should put some of our local sixth form drama students up on the podium with the pre-written legally vetted speeches, and watch their improv skills outshine that of our glorious ‘leaders’. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it correct that she is a doctor of History or did I just dream that? Is there even such a thing? Very good CV FROM 2016 press release Dr Ewart trained in medicine at Oxford University and the Middlesex Hospital Medical School. After working as a junior doctor in the Royal Air Force, she trained in Public Health Medicine in the West Midlands. She has over 25 years’ experience of working as a consultant and director across all areas of public health practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcousticallyChallenged Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 So, as I understand it, we're in one of two situations. On the road to lockdown, but let's pretend not for now. Our expert leadership and proactive approach has stopped any transmission in its' tracks. So we're in the clear, with the help of some luck.

I refer the honourable lady to an answer I gave earlier: Fun fact: Henrietta Ewart is a qualified medical doctor who has spent most of her professional life in public health, but her doctorate is actually in History (on organisational responses in Britain to mid-20th century Irish immigration). Obviously you can have a (research) doctorate in any subject, so effectively she's a doctor twice over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
