pongo Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Excellent news re the road plan for the exit strategy. Presumably that clarity is something which everyone can get behind as the island moves forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Border reopening completely led by two things UK infection rates IOM vaccination rollout They can provide dates on reopening based on the acceptable data set that they wish to see on both.

The IOM vaccine rollout must be the most important factor. Infection rates will rocket when the UK opens up, however, because the vulnerable will be protected, that won't matter so much. I hope they have factored this in, otherwise this is going to go on for a very long time. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horatiotheturd Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 HQ all about everyone else having hindsight, they did what they thought was right. He hasn't once hinted that he could have made a single better decision 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thought I heard Howie saying some border restrictions will likely be in place until August/September as part of the gradual easing into normality. Anyone out there who was paying more attention than me, and noted the detail of what he said? https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/september-estimate-for-removal-of-border-restrictions/ Did anyone else hear Harmer sucking up to Howie just now? 😷 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What clarity, sounds usual clear as mud government document, open in September when UK and probably most of Europe will be open end of June. Most people will be going to UK to visit families etc as soon as UK hotels, hospitality open up which is scheduled mid May 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barlow Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Keys broadcast re children going back to school 1st March. Julie Edge MHK sticking the knife into Education Minister. Twisting it a bit. Then a bit more, why not. Allinson is another now realising that Covid isn't all about riding on the 8 month covid-free crest of a wave. ETA: To be fair, he sounds very low, and doesn't sound too well. Edited March 9, 2021 by Barlow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tone seems to have changed Nobody seems to have asked yet why for the more transmissible strain, we had the least strict lockdown of all. Far more people working, far more children in hub schools. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barlow Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Dr Allinson does not sound well. Someone needs to check on him. Fairplay to CoMin & Co, these guys have probably had little sleep and rest all lockdown and a shedload of worry. Working for the best interests of the Island.
