Also, iirc, last time, wasn't it a clear 3 weeks after the last unexplained case rather than just any new case? Yes - 3 weeks free of community cases.

Barlow Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 This latest (pre-recorded?) briefing is fire-fighting. The Isle of Man is moving away from so-called Elimination Strategy and going for a Mitigation Strategy. I believe that Elimination Strategy should have been kept for the short to mid-term. The change of strategy has come because of the need to cover-up the major cluster fuck that is going on - right here right now. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ie more likely to be Asymptomatic cases? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to say but Elimination has always been a total pipe dream unless the IOM wants to be completely bankrupt. The only sensible way forward is now mitigation. Most people have now had enough of all this badly managed cr@p. Edited March 10, 2021 by CowMan Typo badly 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only sensible way forward is now mitigation. Until this outbreak, elimination until vaccination made perfect sense. By luck or skill, which is a debate of its own, we had and were maintaining local elimination. It would've been foolish to give that up willingly too early. If this outbreak had come two months on, we'd be in a very different place. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats rubbish A lot of those are probably second & third tests for those already isolating and will be spread over next few days , not all new symptoms or high risk contacts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elimination worked for us and compared to the rest of the world it worked very well thank you. It is only now that bollocks have been dropped and control was lost that the Government and its spin machine are moving to mitigation so loudly. It had to be some time, but should not have been now or anytime too soon. Even you should be able to see that. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has always been the case that mitigation would follow when the virus could be managed and the health service not overwhelmed. It seems that the ‘pivot’ from elimination to mitigation is going to happen between May and August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
