manxst Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Plus as someone mentioned earlier, the vaccination place in Douglas was closed. For whatever reason. If ALL adults are vaccinated by end of May as per the briefing today, I’ll be amazed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was glancing at the Vax dashboard earlier today and their target for today was only about 25 as I recall. 56% above target. Fantastic stats IOM!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhtred Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 If ever there was a busted flush it’s good old ‘Howie’ and ‘Ashy’. The pre-pubescents running Gef should be producing aprons and T-shirts with targets on them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barlow Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Has anyone on Manx Forums been contact traced yet, and could they let us know what they were asked etc. Effective contact tracing is vital in our fight against yon virus. Perhaps one of the briefings, or even an explanation on the website on how we can help to provide accurate information, such as keeping till receipts and a simple diary. I also believe that there should be a demonstration on the correct use of masks. Half-heartedly using them in an ICBA manner is worse than no mask at all. It's getting serious for everyone now.

Excelled himself today and you could almost feel the contempt from the Chief Minister as he answered his questions, sent him away with a flea in his ear,and his tail between his legs. Moulton has went right down in my estimation... absolutely pathetic individual. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before some elderly and vulnerable. Really? Seriously? Really seriously? What thinking could come to that prioritisation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We simply don't know. Can you catch it by walking past some in the street? We were at one time told it had to be 15 minutes within a metre of an infected person? Masks - they're essential and super dooper protection. Or masks - they're bollox. The Kent variant was at first described by some prancer in the UK Government as being "incredibly transmissible". Well "incredibly transmissible" to me is walking down a street and every single person catches it - and let's face it, that is not "incredible". We need Dr Ewart or similar to provide some concrete medical advice, not stories about men sitting in pubs nursing pints and fires spreading under the heath. That stuff is obvious. I can read newspapers and watch the news on telly same as anyone else. We need better information and strong advice backed up with evidence from data. They should have enough data by now. And if they haven't just say words to the effect of "We're fucked if we know" which I suppose to be fair is what we are getting now.

Billy kettlefish Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 4 hours ago, TerryFuchwit said: Well there is actually. It's deluded to think some people will not miss appointments. This is real life. It happens. Go and have a look at the board in Palatine Group Practice. Each week is has the number of missed appointments. It happens. Go and speak to any beauty therapist, chiropractor, hairdresser, optician, restaurant. It happens. What makes you think this would be any different? That's a fair point, but if you miss any appointments with the above people ur probably not going too die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course nobody set out to do this deliberately, but if some people had been doing their jobs properly, this wouldn't have happened. I'm sure the owners of Abbotswood didn't intend for the virus to run through their old folks home either, but they have been subject to police investigation. If, god forbid, somebody dies because of this current outbreak, there will be serious questions that will need to be answered by the SPCo management and IOMG. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
