Annoymouse Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I still don’t understand why it’s only certain year groups isolating, do year 7s not get on the same buses, use the same toilets/canteen or have the same teachers as others year groups? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone sitting on the front seat of the bus for five minutes with a positive case on the back seat of the bus is at zero risk. Plenty of cases where people have shared beds and not contracted it. We can't just isolate the whole island. Its everywhere now, this is going to get nasty and they should have jumped on it about 10 days ago but didn't. Now we are all stuffed. 300 cases by the weekend I reckon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladys Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 PM was given a right old telling off when he used the term "superspreader" in relation to the St Mary's infections. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case pretty much everyone on the planet would have been infected several times now. When this first kicked off a very one contact of mine tested positive. Think hours a day sat next to each other, sharing a van, working in confined spaces. Neither me or his wife picked it up (that we are aware of) My nephew in the UK tested positive. His wife and kids didn't. They shared a car, and he and his wife shared a bed. Sharing a bus with someone (loads of busses to qe2, and loads of kids walk) isn't a big deal. Obviously an app would tell us who was at high risk and who wasn't. We don't have one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still no update on low risk/high risk locations, last location was 26th Feb. I wonder what the waiting time for tests is at the moment?

School buses are the only buses which are absolutely full, on a winters day you can literally see the condensation on the inside of windows. It was a hypothetical question but if there was a positive case on a crammed bus, I would genuinely be amazed if not one other person picks up the virus, kids are known for spreading coughs/colds at the best of times. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x-in-man Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I’d say St Nins open evening event just before half term was probably not a good idea. When was the one for Balla? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCallig Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Quote Two people in The Bridge Inn in Laxey on Saturday night (27 February) have tested positive for Covid-19. In a post on social media the owners say they've been contacted by the Island's contact tracing team. The establishment urges anyone who was in the premises between 8pm on Saturday to 1am Sunday (28 February) to call 111 if they develop any coronavirus symptoms. - Well, there's a surprise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
