It is not from a person who has come back into isolation as a returning resident as they are shown differently. I think can only be a maritime or aviation employee (IOMSPCo, Mezeron, Loganair, Air Ambulance etc) for whom the protocols have not prevented infection. That's more of a concern than ones popping up in the community as it proves there are still holes in the defences. I wonder if yet another misunderstanding will come to light. That isn’t how I interpreted it, it sounded like it was likely to become a linked case but just hadn’t been certified yet, sounded like an existing travel case had broke self isolation rules, a travel case would simply be classed as a travel case whether linked or unlinked.

I think if it were another Steam Packet scenario we would be hearing something from the crew who would have been told to isolate plus possible cancellations.

Hence at the real 2pm you will be on 12pm and 2 hours early. Try it with this clock. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they hadn't are you implying it was a waste of time? The UK has vaccinated all the most vulnerable age groups and case numbers are tumbling. If they hadn't are you implying it was a waste of time? I'm unsure where the uncertainty comes in? I didnt say that. I agree there will be an effect of the lockdown for sure and also some contribution from the vaccinations.

Other 50-64 year olds (not at risk) were also offered jabs in the UK, but that was only from the start of December, so that's only a month's worth. Thanks for posting that. Wonder how it stacks up against IoM as it currently stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK hospitalized for COVID falling rapidly due to vaccinations roll out The head of NHS England has recommended lowering the health service's COVID emergency alert level because of reduced hospital admissions. Chief executive Sir Simon Stevens said there are currently 4,000 patients being treated for coronavirus in hospital - down from 34,000 in mid-January. That was due to "both declining infection rates across the community and the impact that's now being felt from the vaccination programme".

During a group chat, the big talking point revolved around a worker testing positive at work and being told by management to keep quiet about it.

But when you think it is 2pm and turn up to your appointment, it is actually 4pm so you have turned up 2 hours late... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
