Just so sad that this has misinformed and probably caused upset to the families. Not my understanding. One got anaphylaxis from the vaccine but survived. Another was vaccinated and died later of underlying health conditions not related to the vaccine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barlow Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, trmpton said: The fact that a couple of hours ago they couldn’t see where they were in Tynwald, look at what they still had to cover, and anticipate that it would be at least 5:30 before they could do a briefing makes me realise what a bunch of whoppers we are dealing with. Loads of times I have been in meeting where it became apparent and hour or so before another commitment that we weren’t going to be done in time. You look at where you are at and clearly communicate to those waiting what you think is a realistic timeline. That would normally be making sure I didn’t waste 10-15 peoples time. Not making several radio stations mess about with their programming and with thousands of people waiting to tune in. Embarrassing. What on earth were they thinking telling people 4:30? Chief Minister: ...and now we go to Paul Moulton. Good afternoon Paul PM: Good evening Chief Minister...

Gladys Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Who briefed DA? And as we are data led, should there not be checks to make the sure the data is right before making announcements? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over and above the upset of someone dying. It's hardly like names were bandied about. It was announced this morning.

Annoymouse Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Ok, I’ll be the first to say it, H.Q is a blithering idiot without having David to carry him through, stumbling/stuttering and it’s just so utterly embarrassing for what is one of the most important press briefings this year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trmpton Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Stressing again the possible (probable) reduction in isolation for people coming from the UK in only a couple of weeks. ABOUT TIME. Also traffic light confirmed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yibble Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I have not previously held strong views on IoMG's handling of COVID, though there has certainly been a bad smell around their dealings with Dr Glover and her company. Today though they have demonstrated complete contempt for the Island's people. Fully knowing the cruelty of the lockdown, the suffering it's been causing, the importance to businesses and all the other ways in which it impacts on lives, they chose to waffle on and listen to their own voices instead of hold the briefing at the scheduled time. Did nobody in the Keys think to put their own self-importance on hold and call for an adjournment of business until the briefing had been delivered? Shame on any MHK who spoke after 4.00pm without doing so. Shame on them. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it could cause upset, people's emotions are pretty raw in bereavement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn’t have taken a question from the press for H.Q to clarify the situation, he obviously had the information there so why didn’t he announce it before? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
