pongo Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 2 hours ago, Albert Tatlock said: I won't get paid or I might get sacked for not going into the office'? Germy offices were making people ill long before Covid. Especially in winter. Work-from-home is a permenant change. It was coming anyhow. With most companies there will be no justification for requiring people to work from an old fashioned office. Provided they get the job done well, it doesn't matter where people are. Exactly the same as much of tech has been for at least a decade. 2 hours ago, TerryFuchwit said: There will be lots of variants over the course of time. What do you expect to happen? Annual injections, at least. For the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thommo2010 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Did I hear right today? Ashford quite rightly said we need to stop looking at case numbers but then quayle was talking about the borders framework being dependent on the UK infection rate. That is contradictory to not focusing on case numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be, but Cyprus is one of the first countries to invite vaccinated tourists from the uk. Shame most don't fit the 2 jab criteria. Also a shame that much of Cyprus is still shut, as is much of Spain, Portugal, France Italy and of course Ireland 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of the blue Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Good to see Manx Care’s ‘mitigated’ reaction to a few new cases has been to essentially to place the NHS into lockdown again. Assuming Covid is now a permanent visitor to our shores, their reaction appears a little extreme. Manx Care say that they are proportionate and temporary. I do not see the logic of the new measures as they are clearly not sustainable or indeed intended to be in place over a long period, so why bother at all, if the same level of risk is likely to exist in a couple of weeks time? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pandemic obviously doesn't go away. It is worldwide. But this obsession with cases, which is a completely meaningless figure, needs to stop. There were a thousand odd cases a few weeks ago. Most of them didn't know they were cases until they were tested because they had been near a case. Anyone with half a brain can figure out that had they tested the whole population at that point there would have been thousands of cases, probably 5k plus. Today there are a few cases because they tested a few people. If they tested the whole population there would likely be hundreds. Cases =nothing 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all retired at 50, then went back in on more money (plus pension) to do the same amount of tea drinking they had done previously. Turns out you can drink tea at home just as successfully as you can in the "work place" They managed an average of six months each at home before the stress of having to work their own kettles became to much and they ended up on sick pay on top of their pension for cycling around the island. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
