The pivot from elimination to face-saving mitigation was when Isle of Man lost control. Elimination was the best thing in the world - literally - until it was lost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, same for the cases I know of at RGS, It’s been a week now and they decided not to test the year groups and instead see what symptomatic cases come forward (very few from all accounts), it appears if a location is released everyone wants a test, if you stop releasing location data people just carry on as normal.

Ie more likely to be Asymptomatic cases? I read 2 people saying on facebook (so have to take it with a pinch of salt) say their relatives were in hospital for something other than covid and tested positive during a routine test. A day or so later the number dropped from I think 8 to 6 in hospital 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember it being referred to and thinking "that's never been referred to before because we are not Brig-a-fecking-doon". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly certain there was an interview with DA last year at some point where he said elimination was not possible. Think Mr Josem may have tweeted it recently?

It was only once the penny dropped that that wasn't really possible that mitigation became the new buzz word. Anyway, for now, I would certainly rather live in the metaphorical brigadoon - even if it means wearing tartan trews - than Covid hell. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the original policy was to flatten the curve and protect the NHS. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Quayle is now too scared to face the media and too insecure to let anyone else do it. There are all sorts of things that need asking or making clear to the public, yet no will to communicate during what looks to be a far worse outbreak than a year ago. Quayle has every reason to be insecure about anyone else doing it - I’d nominate my neighbour’s 9 year old grandson to make a better fist of it....actually, on reflection there’s no need to send for the lad...my neighbour has a rather bright spaniel.
