Banker Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 23 minutes ago, madmanxpilot said: For me, the main takeaway from today's briefing was a change in tone regarding a complete cessation of restrictions imposed with this lockdown. HQ has gone from saying the 'circuit break' will end once there have been 21 days without community cases, he is now saying the relaxation will be 'broadened' no earlier than 21 days after the last community case (29th March plus 21 days = 19th April). He even mentioned that social distancing and masks could be a requirement in some circumstances after that time. Dr E then spent a while explaining how other things that need to be considered before all measures can be lifted. I'm far from convinced that even if we see no more unlinked cases between now and April 19th, that we'll be back to where we were before this circuit break started. I hope I'm wrong. That’s because Guernsey did it that way and Howie always copies their lead eg testing on arrival , pity he didn’t copy them last time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah 01 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 HQ - 'We’re on a journey Paul' I call BINGO - well f..k me, another bloody 'journey'. Where would the human race be without 'journey? 'journey', the most nauseating, meaningless, new-speak garbage ever from the bullshit-bingo dictionary. I can think of a few one-way journeys the parish council could take. Anyway; with 'journey' I call 'house' trumping all others. 4 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no need for to be taking another 6 weeks to lift all restrictions. It's just painfully unnecessary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thommo2010 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I have to switch off when Quayle comes on. I cant stand the way he announces that they have decided to allow us to meet people outside again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 If they thought adhering to the rules was poor before then wait to see what happened as more and more confidence and trust in their Covid governance continues to evaporate. Hearing what Dr Glover says she has experienced to day has really made me angry and to question where we have been 'on this journey' and why we are where we are. Could we have done better if some people had listened - sounds very much like we could and should have done. Surely we can not have been that arrogant to think that we knew what we were doing and didn't need professional qualified guidance and support. I'm thinking we might as well not bother with more restrictions because nobody here knows how to tackle whatever is coming next. Exit plan ....Hah ! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was in the press briefing, I decided PAC would inform me better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
