Major Rushen Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 People think that if they are careful they can do what they like and it will be ok and being careful for another couple of weeks will get us out of lockdown. This won’t happen if numbers are still popping up and Easter will make it worse = longer. What is the answer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are any coppers actually about policing anything? I suspect this Steam Racket debacle has become our very own 'Dominic Cummings' moment in time. bobby on the beat in kirkmichael today for the first time in god knows when, allegedly there to help folks, me thinks there to try and catch folks out, if you want covid spreading an on duty copper would be a great host.

AcousticallyChallenged Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I genuinely think we won't get back to local elimination, or, it won't justify the cost for the timescales. Whether the Government will agree or change policy is a very different question. Positivity is dropping, but everyone is out and about doing stuff this time round, despite us being worse off than January. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from household mixing there isn’t much a copper can do though is there? there is no legal restriction on movement, it’s just advised, if anything by pulling over people they are just putting themselves at risk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get this many unexplained cases still appearing, there must be some people either breaking isolation to meet people or household mixing with someone who’s asymptomatic. Probably need a few court cases to bring everyone back in line but people may use the misunderstanding defense now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomadic Raptor Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 We work all day at home, whilst also juggling home schooling a 10 year old and a 9 year old. I find the teachers very patronizing. One of our lads today had a virtual class which is great but the teacher proceeded to tell the whole class how they had been out all morning walking dogs around the island .....so not working that hard me thinks compared to some of us..... i just think this time around people are thinking last two times we obeyed the letter of the law and watched everyone else do whatever they wanted...this time we have thought why put ourselves through it if nobody else is so we have ventured further afield for our walks etc but during the week we stick to walking around the block people are definitely fed up. And think put a mask on social distance wash hands we can go about business like normal 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Mexico Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 16 minutes ago, Dave Hedgehog said: That said a quick drill into the dashboard shows they did about 300 more tests than the day before so positives as a % of total tests is down day on day at close to 6%. I think it was closer to 14% last week. That's not the amount of tests I've got according to the Twitter figures. I make it 611 tests yesterday (reported today) as opposed to 605 the day before. It's only 7% positive rate still, but we expected there to be a lot of negatives today because of people coming out of isolation the vast majority of whom would negative. The only test figure on the dashboard is 10192 tests concluded since the start of this outbreak which they give as 15 February (ie the figures released on 16 Feb). This seems to be very unreliable on a day-to-day basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immortalpuppet Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Building firms sharing the same household which I assume would not need to socially distance when working together. I know a few gangs like this Twitch those curtains Banker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomadic Raptor Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Keeps coming back to it. Can the government afford a proper lock down...I think not...mitigation is the key here and we are going to have to live with it 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
