The Chief Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Again first 2/3rds of the press conference is answer social media questions and clarifying shit that should have been clear in the first place. Hetty saying we are coming off the peak at pace in one breath but them bandying around it taking at least 5 weeks in another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horatiotheturd Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 This is bollocks. All they are doing is trying to defend and justify past decisions rather than tell us what the plan going forward is. Clear, concise information about the way forward. Stop tring to defend the vaccine screw up and just accept it was wrong but you have now taken steps to rectify it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallMeCurious Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) Holy cow, have they got some new script writers or has someone taught them to read a script better? A lot less eye-watering waffle for a change. Any bets on a question about amenity sites from our insipid intrepid journos?

If loads of us have it, and people are going into hospital for other reasons there will be people in hospital "with" covid. They really need to clarify like Gibralter do I suspect they would tell us if infection was only incidental- there has been the odd time in the past that they have with the odd case. If they don't mention it I think you can probably reckon that all 12 are there primarily because of Covid - either from the effects or because it's made other things they suffer from much worse. The truth is that most people who test positive for Covid are not asymptotic, we know this from Jersey's arrival testing over the Summer. About half were showing symptoms at any time, but those without would also include some who developed those later. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hospital still has capacity says Health Minister. A mix of people in hospital - people aren't necessarily in hospital as a direct result of Covid-19. Health Minister says he is not concerned about capacity at this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manx Yeller Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 What slightly concerns me is that yes, the number of cases is coming down but so is the number of tests each day. It's still around 13-14% in terms of positive tests so the reduction in cases could be said to be purely due to the reduction in tests. Whether the reduction in tests is proof that it's under control and we are past the peak is another matter! Think the figures are: 6th - 499 cases - 71 cases 7th - 621 tests - 81 cases 8th - 760 tests - 108 cases 9th - 648 tests - 87 cases 10th - 559 tests - 75 cases 11th - 512 tests - 65 cases 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to be clear. 12 scares people and he has just said they aren't all because of covid Edited March 11, 2021 by horatiotheturd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
