Cambon Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 55 minutes ago, horatiotheturd said: Hardly anyone from CRH is getting tested. Only "high risk contacts" who have been directly contacted. Is it not high risk contacts of all year seven students, plus 7 day tests for previously isolating people, plus travel related isolation. Hopefully, no new community cases. So the figures went 50(odd), 71, 110, 89, 74. Past the peak, perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given its look of droopy-eyed dismay, we though the spaniel would fit in better at DHSC. They won't notice the difference. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the sweary Karens. 41 minutes ago, Gladys said: No, the original policy was to flatten the curve and protect the NHS. AFAIK that was the failed UK policy. The island consciously wasn't following that policy and quite right too. We were far more looking to what was working in Faroes, Iceland and New Zealand. I'm pleased that we were but disappointed that it has gone wrong. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you do understand elimination could only ever be a temporary strategy. It was always going to come back no matter what we did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Mexico Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 1 hour ago, Newbie said: A lot of those may be people who have already tested positive and will be due a day 13 test. They are included in the number of people waiting for a test Doesn't work I'm afraid. There were only about 35 active cases a fortnight ago., which doesn't make much dent in that 498. And frankly I'm not sure they're organised enough at the moment to be offering 13 day tests to those recovering. 1 hour ago, Annoymouse said: There was talk at one stage of them releasing data showing positive cases based on first part of postcode (Ie IM1, IM2, IM8) I see that also fell by the wayside. It wouldn't have made much difference because the Island is so mobile. Someone has however got round to sorting out the age and gender analysis (up to 8th): https://covid19.gov.im/media/1466/age-gender-travelhistory-data.csv and rather worryingly it shows another 9 cases over 64 plus 1 over 80. The good thing about this (and the January) outbreak was that the older cohorts had been spared almost completely till now. 22 minutes ago, Cambon said: Is it not high risk contacts of all year seven students, plus 7 day tests for previously isolating people, plus travel related isolation.

Not so I'm afraid, it's a function of fewer tests being done: 71/499; 81/621 108 (not 110, they lied)/760 87/648 75/559 it's fairly consistently 13-14% positive each day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Isle of Man (Gov) needs to be in control of 'it' not the other way round. We were in control and we had the upper hand. Had.

Everyone should be vaccinated by the end of May so you agree then that from the end of May we should be opening up for travel from what you have said?
