CallMeCurious Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Not until Item 2 (i.e. May) Changes to border policy. Item 1 is only preperation (March/April). And this is probably the earliest dates as infection rates and vaccinations will be the driving force I suspect. 54 minutes ago, horatiotheturd said: Sdo does this below suggest family visits this month or next? To me it does but I might simply be giving them credit for eventually engaging common sense when they have done nothing of the sort. " Will enable us to pivot from elimination to mitigation Preparation - little change in the measure we have in place while cases here and in the UK fall. Expect unknowns such as vaccine delivery to consist. Hopefully we can prepare to welcome friends and family to our shores. Any outbreak now will need a strong response. Probably take up March to April. Transition - significant changes Changes to border policy, but not full removal Should be well into vaccine programme May - all adults should have been offered first dose July - should have done all second doses for vulnerable people Assess our levels of defence and adjust position accordingly Release, will have better understanding of how the vaccine is working Whole world will have a new plan for how to continue Plan for winter and removing any remaining border restrictions Border is our biggest defence and biggest threat Can only ditch restrictions when it is prudent to do so Where we can, we will seek external advice about whether people think it is prudent to do so from academic and public health thinking Hopefully September we should have vaccinated all over 18s by then Can’t be sure what will happen when We need to be ready to put measures in place if required While we can’t say when, we can say is how we will approach this" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barlow Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) I have expressed on a number of occasions in this forum my view that the Isle of Man could be a World leader in matters concerning the Coronavirus and how to understand and manage it etc. Some posters disparaged my opinion. I would like to formally agree with those posters and accept that I may well have been somehow deluded.

Or is he still sticking pencils up his nostrils & in his ears whilst muttering “wibble” .... Sure, but they have been in lockdown for ages, but still have 820,000 active cases. Until that figure drops significantly, I cannot see anything happening on the borders. Additionally, let's see what happens in 2-3 weeks time now that uk schools are open. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah 01 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 2 hours ago, madmanxpilot said: serious illness and death are going to become the primary metric CV is going to have to be AN Other illness that should be kept in check primarily by vaccine and then by growing communal immunity. The NHS cannot be closed down in perpetuity and become an open/shut provider dependent on its CV load - what about cancer load, cardioac load, diabetes load all of which are being studiously ignored at the altar of CV. If necessary it will have to be treated as TB (highly contagious) was in the forties and fifties with isolation hospitals. With the amount of money magically found during the past 12 months they could have provided one for ever town, figuratively speaking, as well as restore the NHS's bed numbers which have been decimated in the past 20 years. As a final thought, given that CV is going to be with us for ever and ever, I wonder if the parish council have given any thought (then again I know the answer) beyond the next press conference by actually planning for extra ITU beds? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
