There was a man in Tesco today with his mask carefully placed over his mouth but under his nose. What is so hard about getting mask wearing right? Who nose? Seems simple enough realy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also only a total of 24 unexplained cases according to Ashie so why close construction and cause substantial hardship to many workers??? Two persons can still work on vacant properties.

There's a brilliant video of HRH The CM, The MBE and Lady Henrietta doing the rounds on WhatsApp, singing to the tune of 'I Will Survive'. Bloody hilarious it is. (the file size is 2.1MB unfortunately) Bloody hilarious is right. Thank you and thanks to Barlow for a working link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are required to follow the rules vaccinated or not. It sets a very poor example when they don’t. Haha. Yes and they need to remember they haven't been vaccinated as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it will be some subversive element that really needs to be stamped out. Satire is a kind way of telling governments that they are not held in high regard. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manx Yeller Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I've just looked at the figures that give the age range split and it seems to say that every case ever is related to travel except one case today. Am I reading it right? (in which case maybe they need to rerun the figures!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But more often, especially in Britain, it all ends up being a bit 6th form and giggly. It's easy to be negative for comedy effect. Smart people almost never are.

Nomadic Raptor Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Iv been thinking about this for most of the day...the governments strategy seems to be lock everything down and hope it all goes away? Doesn’t seem like the best proactive course of action. It’s like a child closing their eyes and putting there hands over their ears. they then say they can get everyone vaccinated by may? There is not a cats chance they will do that they don’t have the organizational skills. What I suspect might be that they will send out letters inviting everyone in may which is definitely not the same thing has having a vaccine..If by some miracle and they do manage it they plan to open the borders and get on with life, but the vaccine doesn’t magically make it disappear it’s still there and those that have not been fully vaccinated will still catch it....will we be locking down for them?.

Lets see how the phone lines work this weekend for booking vaccination before we worry . I couldnt get through in the week and then they announced not to ring but try on Saturday when you will get through .

madmanxpilot Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) I've just had a quick peek at Guernsey's latest outbreak data. They went into lockdown on 23rd Jan, had their peak number of daily cases (56) on Feb 1st, this fell over the next couple of weeks and their first day of zero cases was feb 17th. From feb 18th to date there have been ten more cases, but there have been none for the last six days. So, it looks like they've taken five weeks to purge the virus. If we follow a similar trend and then, like last time, take another three weeks until we break cover, this 'circuit break' is going to be an eight week job. Time to put another home brew on.
