snowman Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) Construction closing from the end of today for two weeks Tradespeople working alone or with one other person outdoors are allowed to continue with masks and social distancing in place. These include window cleaners, outdoor painters, gardeners etc. Emergency work and repairs will also continue.

That was my initial theory also, in that instance it’s perfectly plausible the steam packet worker blamed for this entire outbreak might have actually contracted it from here first, not that they’d ever use the genomics to find out.

Barlow Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 So....would you rather have a vaccine in say, a tent, or even in a big room with a table and a couple of chairs or whatever. Or wait for a lovely super dooper facility all painted and shiny and new? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised if it turns out we were never "COVID Free" after the New Year lack of testing of arrivals shambles and it was just circulating in people with no symptoms or mild symptoms and people didn't get tested. I think it's not impossible, but unlikely. The lockdown should've really stopped most of it in it's tracks at that point. Remember as well, the people picked up by contact tracing can be testing positive days before they present symptoms. How many have you asked again about symptoms a week later? It does highlight though, a lack in surveillance testing that we may well should've been undertaking. For example, the ONS will sample the population, to get an idea of any levels within the community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As things stand it will be the UK keeping us out by May.

Some people seem to be confusing DOI workers with transport workers (i.e you) Transport workers make up probably less than 10% of the DOI work force and of that small number only a small amount are frontline.
