Unfortunately our leaders in this respect are clueless (as are most folk to be fair) and the technology advisers in IoMG Government are not as fucking smart as they think they are, or their salary might suggest they are. Track and trace are digging out their notepads and sharpening their pencils, in what was once hailed "e-commerce capital of the world" Quality 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Answer - no fucking chance. Here we go again. Who cares! Nearly all priority groups vaccinated and all adults will have had least one jab by end of June, just get on with life or stay in 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thommo2010 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 If they are looking at fully opening the border in 2 months time then you would think there is no chance of going into another lockdown but as I have said before whatever the initial goal of lockdowns were has been lost so who knows what will happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as there are supposedly 0 people in hospital - when I know from a very reliable source - that is complete bollox. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There simply has to be a robust, quick and resilient track and trace solution in place or ready to go which was due to be unveiled as they announced the official move to mitigation and relaxation of the borders. They have said for weeks now that cases were inevitable, so there MUST be a plan in place to deal with this. No way can they stick everyone back into lockdown having already told us that we are transitioning away from elimination. Having said that people will panic. I have already had two jobs booked for this week contact me and cancel. Both outstanding from February and not invoicing them this week will leave me out of pocket again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are probably very many people after 6 weeks of lockdown that have far too much month left at the end of the money - and are having to prioritise. Did they specifically mention covid as the reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b4mbi Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Clearly these two new cases are a "Manx Variant" , but shouldn't be a cause for concern as it'll be resistant to further change. 1 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
