CowMan Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 2 hours ago, Non-Believer said: During the course of today the number of cars around on the roads that I've seen (during work) and the number of people out and about, sometimes with no sign of any social distancing, it would make me wonder if there's actually a lockdown in place at present. They haven’t got the gall to police it after they’ve caused it. It’s got impossible to police anyway with so many tradesman working. If I need to go out I just take my van. You’ll never get pulled. There’s been no immediate Jack-boot wearing by the cops this time round either as everyone’s going to kick up sh*t the second someone is thrown in prison when the SPC worker who caused all this got to roam free. They've lost any moral authority they might think they had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the stinking enigma Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Why are you trying to blame the steam packet worker for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I not entitled to an opinion on the matter? Everyone else who has breached the rules has been blamed for breaching the rules. What’s different here? It seems clear now that the outbreak has been traced back to that breach doesn’t it? Edited March 4, 2021 by CowMan Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banker Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 27 minutes ago, Ham_N_Eggs said: I think the problem is possibly a combination major construction companies having an undue amount of sway; needing to finish the prom ASAP; and a lot of the self employed construction workers not having their NI contributions correct so not qualifying for the support schemes. Plus paying support all the construction workers would probably be £10m pm or about half cost of last monthly cost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes a so much sense! I can't believe all the doom mongers on this forum, telling us how it's all the end of the world and we'll all die from alcohol induced covid doom. They make it all sound horrendously hopeless. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone one is blaming the SP specifically and definitely not the individual who is the index case, but there has been some sort of cock up which has allowed this to happen. HQ has admitted as such, but in blander terms. It is the cause of that cock up that is the issue and will be the subject of an independent inquiry, only if Tynwald wants it according to HQ yesterday. However, it is a fact that the SP worker was the index case for the current bugger's muddle. It is the outcome that it is a bugger's muddle that is the issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where our situation can help further knowledge of the virus and how it is transmitted or not transmitted. Did the worker spend 15 minutes or more sat next to another person, or did the other infected person merely stroll by within a metre and without a mask . . . or whatever. The whole world hasn't got a clue and of course it is not an exact science, but being a microcosm with as near as damnit 'enclosed' borders we should be leading the way here (A statement for which I will no doubt be derided).

You can’t be so sure which is why a fully independent investigation is required at the earliest opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
