Lockdown announced from midnight so the tough guys go to the pub for a last pint or two. That is the sort of behaviour that has got us in this mess. Some pubs closed the weekend before after they heard that watered down warning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out of the blue Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 5 minutes ago, Boris Johnson said: I think that's a given, we will need jabs for this for ever. I can see mask wearing becoming the norm like they do in Japan. I can live with that, not a big deal TBH, I really dont get the problem people have with masks or is it a Manx thing like speed limits? I don't think masks will stay, at least I hope not. They give a false sense of security and appear to remove peoples awareness re. social distancing. Many are not worn correctly, or washed frequently/disposed of daily. Not to mention the environmental carnage caused by them. I tolerate them, more out of consideration for others, but as a long term thing, I can't see it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In many Asian countries, you wear a mask when you're ill and in public out of social responsibility. If there is something from the pandemic to keep, that might be it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Mexico Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 44 minutes ago, Out of the blue said: If memory serves me right, at the start of this mess, HQ said that if the outbreak was a month later the response would have been different. Well by then it will have been over a month on from the initial outbreak and the over 50's will have hopefully had a first jab. I honestly do not think that we will go back to elimination again. I just hope that schools and sports get going again as part of any gradual reopening of our economy. I hate to break it to you, but it's "over a month on from the initial outbreak" today. The first case was detected on 15 February and reported on the 16th: As at 4pm 16 February there is 1 new case of #COVID19 in the #IsleofMan. The case was detected in a day 1 test from an individual already self-isolating following travel to the Island. 4:00 PM · Feb 16, 2021·Twitter Web App This turned out to be the Steam Packet case. You'll notice that while technically this isn't untrue, it gives the misleading impression that it was just a normal returning traveller who had had no contact with anyone on the Island. If we had known it was an SP employee (and there had already been a case a few days before among the UK-based staff) maybe pressure for rapid action would have happened. Instead spin was more important than action. And a month later hardly anyone 50-64 and many in older groups haven't been vaccinated and it will take time for the jab to take effect in those that have. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wore gloves and a mask and then put them in a carrier bag when we got in the car and washed our hands with sanitiser. Hope that helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcousticallyChallenged Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 3 minutes ago, Roxanne said: And despite the whining of the ‘wash your hands and carry on as if there was no virus’ lot, to do so now is to deny the seriousness of this. This could rip through us if they are separate unknown cases. We need to go into a hard lockdown, now! Really hard. That’s why we did so well last year with few hospital admissions. If we don’t, we could be in a whole lot of trouble. I don't think we'd be able to now. There's too much societal fatigue, the tone of this lockdown feels like the last hurrah before we can all go back to the pub. The vaccine is here, and granny is safe, so many feel the immediate pressure is off. I genuinely think the current lockdown is at best buying time for the vaccination roll-out. We're 2 weeks in and still getting a reasonable number of community cases. It'll be hard to stamp it out if the approaches to testing stay the same as they are. And local elimination will become a harder sell as time goes on. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I would have gone for a long weekend lockdown (Fri to Mon)...nip this in the bud. If it's out there, this is just the weekend to spread it. I wonder where we'd be now if they had done this the weekend ending 15th? I reckon I'd be in the Rovers tonight. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is something from the pandemic to keep, that might be it. Just reading this and the news that there's two cases of a new variant from the Philippines come to light in the UK today, I had a search on the web for the regulations in the Philippines themselves, I found the below...compulsory face masks and face guards in public areas. It might be worth considering that they've also had "only" 12k deaths out of a population of over 120M?
