Hmmmm Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Worth listening to Ashford's reply to the two different set of numbers and Hetty's interaction with PM https://t.co/tULlOWWUv9?amp=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Mexico Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Still no update on the numbers or clarification on what period they cover. Nor why Tynwald members get higher figures before the lower ones the rest of us do - are people un-catching Covid? I can't help suspecting they have given us one day's worth of cases (ie Sunday's) along with two day's worth of test statistics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s evident that Dr Ewart had a wry smile when the question was asked (perhaps likes a more challenging question!?) and in response PM himself smiled in return. So it seems a smile is nearly as infectious as Covid19. Edited March 8, 2021 by Annoymouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I deliberately didn’t listen to it as I wanted to read all the comments on here first. If you do listen to it the picture it paints is very far from the conspiracy nonsense above. The only correct reporting on here seems to relate to Ewarts condescending attitude to Moulton. Other than that what Quayle and Ashford said on the numbers and the difference in numbers is 100% clear there is no ambiguity really other than for those who are deliberately looking fir it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wait. Genomics is irrelevant in this context. The only sensible approach was to always assume that it was the worst strain. No need to waste resources finding out. If the government had taken the measures required to prevent this, many posting here would have complained that the response was extreme. They would have supported their arguments with a lot of short-term nonsense about the economy. The same people who were making bogus claims about restrictions on unnecessary travel impacting the economy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The attempt to charm him . . .went just as well as you might expect. (Some of what she said was correct and some wasn't, but that's not quite the point). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The call stacks don’t work properly and the follow up is clunky at best. Sorry Cowman to have to disagree with you as you are one of the few sensible posters on this topic . My experience in communicating with 111 in organising and receiving my first jab has been excellent. Maybe I’ve just been lucky.
