A bit of dip just before questions but there was a good few people watching this today, 4k at the end of broadcast (plus Manx Radio and Youtube) I only ever listen to these things on manx radio, sometimes online but still via manx radio. Even when i used to have to switch to am to listen to the questions 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nom de plume Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 (edited) 41 minutes ago, Banker said: Guernsey are doing something similar, also Jersey considering reducing any isolation requirement for those vaccinated https://jerseyeveningpost.com/news/2021/04/08/covid-status-certification-could-enable-freer-travel/ Suggesting <50 cases per 100,000 puts countries on the Green list, neg test on entry & release. I think the UK is currently hovering around the mid 40 number per 100,000. Looking at Jersey's vax stats, we are very similar in terms of numbers dosed so where is our exit plan? That Mark Lewin piffle a couple of weeks back was a complete and utter waste of time and I bet that document cost a small fortune to put together.

Revised exit plan due for next Tynwald, 3a on target for end of April with testing/isolating requirements being discussed at Comin next week is what Howard said today 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NHS is protected & vulnerable will have been (are already) vaccinated. Testing prior to entry or before further reduces the risk. We are at the stage where we move on. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Increasing evidence that once vaccinated it greatly reduces your ability to spread virus if you catch it which is why airlines, cruise companies, countries are willing to accept vaccinated travelers without restrictions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambon Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 2 hours ago, Nom de plume said: Taking a look at the Jersey reopening framework. It seems that they are planning on allowing all inbound travel to resume no earlier than May 17 (excluding U.K. banned country list). It’s unclear on the isolation / testing requirements from that date but it’s nice to see them put a date on it. Are we that far behind our Channel Island counterparts? Yes. We still have 75 active cases. Jersey has 4. Jersey has a real need for tourism we do not. Other than that, we are ahead of Jersey on a per capita basis vaccine wise. Give it a couple months we will be in a much better position to open than Jersey is now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nom De Plume asked why we are not doing the same as Jersey? Are we behind? The answer is yes! Quite simple! Jersey has been in lockdown all this year. At least we had February off for good behaviour. Jersey has administered 68K jabs to our 60K. On a per capita basis, it puts us slightly ahead. However, they are slightly ahead on second jabs. Now our weakness. Banker, remember you are not yet vaccinated. You are only part so. If we had stuck to the manufacturers recommendation, in a couple of weeks you would be done. Now you have to wait until June. Most of the rest of the world is sticking to recommendations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomadic Raptor Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 What monumental fuck to had happened....before Easter the kids teachers said they would be in school on 12th April if nothing changed.....nothing changed if anything things got better but schools are not going back until 19th?? So please someone anyone explain in what or how this changed and what took us off the path?
