There's only four postcodes with double digits or less - the East and South of the island should be sealed off. 😁😂 We can deal with marine freight in Peel and/or Ramsey, and land planes in Jurby. 1) 362 IM2 2) 213 IM4 3) 160 IM3 4) 151 IM9 ... This is where today's unexplained case originates. 5) 114 IM1 6) 46 IM8 7) 42 IM5 8) 35 IM7 9) 8 IM6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's reading him out all his briefing statements. But this shows up the whole nonsense of only counting linked cases. Even if you claim you can work out where the guy got it from (and you can't know for certain without genomics for all known cases - and sometimes not even then) whether you know the source or not, he would still have infected the same number of people. Nowhere else dismisses cases as unimportant once they know the source . It's the same magical thinking that has infected the government's actions from the start and possibly led to the current lockdown. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the person concerned hasn't been in isolation, even if they link it to another case, there is nothing to say he hasn't infected anyone else. This whole outbreak started with one case in Feb. If they relax things when there are still cases in the community, why wouldn't it happen again? If they were to abandon their elimination strategy, that would be different Edited to add: Roger beat me to it Edited March 30, 2021 by Newbie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Scotland the positive results is at less than 3% has been for nearly 2 weeks now. There are 23 people across the whole of scotland in icu. Everything has plummeted yet they are not going to be allowed out for another month which by coincidence is a week or so before the election. Simply put when it comes to covid all reason and logic has gone. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been meaning to mention this for a while now. The Symptomatic Overview section of the dashboard is pretty much useless really. If they were doing more (any) surveillance/random testing, it would show a truer picture of asymptomatic vs symptomatic cases. As it is, apart from testing close contacts of known positives*, they will not test you unless you have some of the symptoms on their wholly inadequate symptom list. They'll be missing asymptomatic cases left, right and centre. Is it any wonder, really, that we're still having unlinked cases popping up? Anyway, it's no huge surprise that the symptomatic cases outnumber the asymptomatic cases. Don't know why they bother. Would be more informative if the gave a bit more information on hospital cases. It would be even more informative if they were doing surveillance testing alongside genomics.

Roger Mexico Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 By unpopular demand I thought I'd revisit the postcode analysis by population I did about 3 weeks ago. The number of cases since 15 Feb per 10,000 population are: IM1/2 (Douglas) 176 IM3 (Onchan) 175 IM4 (Central) 197 IM5 (Peel) 60 IM6 (Michael) 50 IM7 (North) 60 IM8 (Ramsey) 59 IM9 (South) 107 Despite an increase in all areas the pattern remains unaltered, with the 'Southside' hit much harder than the 'Northside' by a factor of about 3, though the actual South is only about 2 times more. Central (mostly Middle) is hit hardest of all. As Gladys pointed out last time this is probably a good indication of spread via schools. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should also be told the covid positive persons favorite colour and pop band for the full effect. That would be about as much use as the stuff they are feeding us without genomics. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
