Max Power Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) 6 minutes ago, Manx Yeller said: 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 I suspect that the number of tests will fall with the number of those experiencing symptoms or being contact traced too? In view of lockdown, fewer people will need tracing? Edited March 11, 2021 by Max Power 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So demand must still be high. Although the lab is supposed to be able to process 800 a day (and I remember Rachel saying she'd prepped the lab so they could do twice that) they've only got near that on one occasion (760 on - probably - Sunday). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IoM Government will only ever be in any sort of meaningful control once elimination has been achieved (again). Elimination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were for routine procedures they’d be cancelled and patients not admitted in the first place. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
