I see Jersey have a contact tracing app. How long before Howard wants one? https://covidalert.gov.je/Pages/default.aspx ETA Just installed it. Looks quite good. Probably crap myself if I get an alert. Is there an Isle of Man contact tracing App? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have Maude down the way who keeps an eye out and writes down car numbers that she doesn't recognise, and she can assure you that little Timmy saw Susie mingling with someone who had a cough, and that their gran was known for a bad chest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nurse staff shortage at Nobles needs to be exposed. It is becoming desperate. Actual overtime for staff is now authorised. Someone needs to ask DHSC Minister to make a statement on staffing in Nobles and around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like how the IOMG go for the trying to blind us with sciencey words when there is a question that's a controversial topic, or something a Minister isn't clear on. Whether she has any real capability to effect change that is against the tide of the dynamic duo is something I'm not sure on. You see what happens if you don't nod, agree and say "Yes Minister". I don't agree with disparaging her for a PhD in history, a PhD is about the transferable skills you pick up as a researcher. She can apply those to the background in medicine she already has. Hey! We agree. You see it was possible after all. Good post BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was letting a mate have something at cost, it would be the purchase invoice price to me. Literally what it cost me. Err. Yeah but what if the invoice was miles more than you expected. Anyway. Again. Moot point. It was free not cost. This has been confirmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like you don’t. The idea is, your identity is anonymous to everyone else and vice versa. But, you get a notification if you’ve come across someone else who has tested positive within a certain set of criteria. Your device makes these decisions based on what the Health Service has set.

Banker Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 298 vaccinations today & 309 yesterday, seems they do substantially less at weekend as they we did 864 Friday & 1023 Thursday. Not sure why but thought they would try and keep the pace up at the higher levels . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
