Gladys Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Absolutely AC, we cannot lurch in and out of lockdown. We have so many tools at our disposal now with the vaccine, genomics, improved treatment techniques, there really needs to be a more sophisticated response. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restaurant will be out of pocket for lost stock and weeks of proper income if any form of lockdown comes. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowMan Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 21 minutes ago, The Chief said: wow everything sounds a little panicky, if they are asking for all events to be cancelled then surely a lockdown is inevitable. (not that i want one at all and i work for the government @Banker) Just before you couldn’t even easily drive past the Total Station on Alexander Drive as so many people where hanging off the forecourt into the road to fill their tanks. A lot of central Douglas like a ghost town already. The perfect exercise in mass panic techniques. There must be loads of really pleased people waiting for 3pm now in the hope that their week long campaign of doom spreading because we didn’t instantly lockdown on Monday is perhaps about to be rewarded.

If only there was some way of getting the message out quickly, like if they had a fancy text alert service or something. Lockdown 1 they text all mobiles Also there is the option to sign up for this https://www.gov.im/about-the-government/departments/home-affairs/emergency-planning-unit/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did text me recently to say it was windy though just in case I was incapable of seeing the debris flying past the house or hear the roof rattling. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
