We need to wait for the data tomorrow. It's all about the data. The liverpool genomics place must be working overtime tonight. Can you imagine the amount of swabs per day they will receive from the Steam Packet. Are they employing nurses or medical staff to take swab? Will the Steam Packet have additional wages for staff, to come in early prior to the shift to swab and to stay later after their shift for additional swabbing?

Howie wouldn't even recommend one and suggested it was down to personal choice. It's far better to act proportionately to minimise risk, without getting us hunkered down, than to give wishy washy lockdown-esque advice. Yeah, but at least this way they get to blame the great manx public should the shit hit the fan this time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No crown dependencies have outshone themselves with glory, mistakes have been made, unfortunately we are unable to admit our mistakes, coz we’re perfection personified. Yes, mentioned them a few times, they had another unknown source one today, think that’s 3/4 this week but have eased restrictions and allowing various workers back inside & out, bubbles, excercise with a friend etc but face masks inside & no non essential open . Howie needs to think of some middle ground rather than lockdown of everything or no lockdown Edited February 27, 2021 by Banker Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a legal lockdown will be put in place tomorrow. They just can't do it today hence the request rather than the mandatory approach .

Kopek Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) Masks, social distancing, don't go out, could all have been ''Strongly Recommended''. A much better message? Edited February 27, 2021 by Kopek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
