Itsmeee Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) We were discussing this today. IOM gov seems to want all (total lockdown) or nothing (no social distancing, no masks etc). We should be considering some mitigation measures for society to operate. Edited March 13, 2021 by Itsmeee 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 The vaccination scoreboard showing 19,634 doses in stock (that was last updated Friday so could be around 2k less by now) with 10,433 Hub vaccinations booked. However only 2,309 are first doses so that measure not set to improve much. Greatly disappointing is that only 3,092 in total booked in the next 7 days indicating no preparations to quickly ramp up the rate using the increased supply. Actually looking like the opposite. Is the Rolls Royce stuck in first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank the NHS by staying at home? NHS doesn't mean just the few departments that are busy, if you need cancer treatment or a dentist you know they aren't exactly rushed off their feet, just on pause.

IOM gov seems to want all (total lockdown) or nothing (no social distancing, no masks etc). We should be considering some mitigation measures for society to operate. Now it’s the only way to do it. Few people are staying at home anyway. The shops were packed in Douglas today with people just carrying on and taking precautions. A lot of construction and the trades still working on outside or empty house jobs etc. There’s a lot of activity going on. We can’t afford the bill for what’s probably going to be six weeks of shut down anyway. I really didn’t get all those dickheads being filmed in the pub at midnight last time round not masked and not distanced. The risks of catch something were exactly the same at 11:30 as they were at 12:30 yet within an hour everyone’s mask was in the bin and they’re crammed next to each other having a pint. You only need one under the radar positive case still circulating in that environment and you’re straight back to where we started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nom de plume Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 21 minutes ago, Manx Yeller said: I'm also looking at the fact it's only 611 tests, thought there was supposed to be 1000 people coming out of isolation this weekend, please tell me they aren't being let out without a final test? Unless they only count the first test and aren't counting the day 6/7 and day 13 tests? 77 new cases out of 611 is 12.6% so around about the numbers expected. You get let out on a day 1 & day 7 negative test but you aren’t mixing with anyone by law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the Rolls Royce stuck in first? I've been watching the figures closely over the last couple of days. If you aspire to do 1000 jabs each day, you have to send 1000 letters each day, register 1000 customers, and book 1000 appointments - it's simple process and pipeline management. Yesterday, they booked 460 new appointment, and today (so far) 360. So unless they massively pick up the pace tomorrow, they will run out of people to jab, early next week. There are lots of positive comments around about the people doing the jabs, but there's a definite impression that the people running the back office haven't got a grip on things, at all. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason I ask is I need to print some more out for the family. I printed the one off which said the vaccine strain from the website and went to the airport this morning, no problem with the form in and out within 5 mins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they do as I posted yesterday, a few had posted they were getting day 13 tests yesterday & over weekend. These are the 1000 that Ashie said would be getting released from isolation and are the high risk ones from that gig at Hydro and other events from c 14/16 days ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of at least 3 separate close contacts of positive cases (kids) who’ve had Day 1 and Day 7 and are released from SI on two negative tests.

On pause? When things go back to ‘normal’ they’ll be completely overworked trying to play catch up again, I would imagine any hospital staff might well get redeployed, I can’t see them sitting at home on full pay watching Netflix. 2 minutes ago, Banker said: Yes they do as I posted yesterday, a few had posted they were getting day 13 tests yesterday & over weekend.

The ones who are in isolation with no positive in household do , which is the ones I was referring to , think there’s about 15/1600 of those .
