Roger Mexico Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 15 minutes ago, Lewis said: A brief review of the SPO fiasco may explain HQ's desire to leave well alone. Except its not well at all. 1. GOV draft a totally unreasonable protocol for the SPO staff to follow - Idiotic 2. According to HQ the order is "open to interpretation" - Negligent 3. SPO interpret it as not needing staff to isolate off duty - Naturally 4. GOV decide not to audit SPO adherence to the protocol for almost a year - Negligent 5. SPO staffing the islands main artery to the world and its front line to exposure are: -not tested regularly to minimise the impact of potential infection - Negligent -not included in first tranche of vaccinations - Idiotic Nor surprised he does not want a witch hunt when he is the Head of the Coven ! You missed the biggest negligence of all - that they didn't even start worrying about the possibility of the virus getting in via Steam Packet staff (or that of other carriers) until nearly a year into the pandemic. Though given that everything seems to have worked fine until they started interfering, maybe that was for the best. In practice some form of leakage into the Island via these routes was always going to happen some time or other, even with the most stringent precautions. What is important is how quickly and efficiently you identify and deal with such outbreaks, whatever the source. And the way that this has been dealt with has been even worse than last time with even more mistakes. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monasqueen Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 St Ninians appeared to be kicking their kids out at about 10.30 this morning. Yeah, lets all get out now and empty the shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We collected our child from school about a hour ago, also got a email saying, children will be off until the 25th March back for 1 day and then off for the ess break on Monday. You couldn't make it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shake me up Judy Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Once some kids start leaving early, with or without parental consent, you can't stop the others. They're free to just walk out the gates. The Head probably sent them home before they voted with their feet without any authority. It's a nice sunny day too and school has no power whatsoever to keep them on school grounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banker Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Not sure if it’s been posted before but Rachel has tweeted earlier Dr. Rachel Glover @rachomics · 7h Just in case CoMin need to hear this today: test test test. You need to break transmission chains not hope they burn out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder with all the people buying/renting houses and flats just now (there are stacks of them down our road). Checking up must cost a few bob but it is absolutely negligible comparted to track and trace and lockdowns Edited March 2, 2021 by Barlow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaymann Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 A friends kid in Yr 9 at Bemahague now high temp, fatigued all day and persistent cough. Called 111 this morn but can't get a test till midday tomorrow. Clearly there's some widespread issue at the school, hopefully it doesn't lead to any issues in the young.
