If these unexplained cases keep popping up on for a few more weeks, then I won't be. However, I would expect 'live with it' would mean a gradual release from this lockdown over the coming months rather than totally coming out of it 21 days after the last reported community case which is the current policy. I know what I'd prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Simon Richardson asked if the 21 days free, of unexplained, cases was still to be used to end the lockdown. DA waffled long enough to derail the question. No answer was given? As I remember anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why we need to know. No. That's why we need to stop obsessing over it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barlow Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) Here's a graph of this afternoon's briefing. The viewers on Facebook drop off steadily after the first few minutes. The media questions start about 25 minutes and - for the record - there is no particular drop off. There will be listeners on Manx Radio too.

the stinking enigma Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 We are in the mitigation stage now. Obv they can't say that, lest we blame them rather than the great manx public. The first phase of mitigation stage always had to be don't say we are in the mitigation stage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll find out Thursday. The point being though, the viewing figures show there is no "1/3 sudden drop off" when the media questions start, as suggested by Howard.

It's the key to me and others being able to start doing the things we miss and seeing our family again, for that reason, many of us have a very keen interest in it. For example, I had a relative die here this week, and unless we start seeing zero soon, I'm not going to be able to attend his funeral. If you aren't that bothered about that particular stat, then just ignore it. Edited March 22, 2021 by madmanxpilot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
