I assume Chester Street will be retained until everyone is vaccinated and then they work out how to do it annually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What she is saying is good news for the UK, but they still need to err on the side of caution, and that the media were being a bit irresponsible in the way it is being reported.

Banker Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 If all care home residents & staff are fully vaccinated, why prevent the residents from seeing families & friends? http://www.iomtoday.co.im/article.cfm?id=61534&headline=Two care homes close to visitors§ionIs=news&searchyear=2021&cat=Health&fbclid=IwAR3HwgGswRKM0TN_bAkUcXIlkCpVwg4R1Pk0qgF1S8HhRF9LnbeDpgUjSKU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a local authority battle where Raaamsey's civic leadership is attempting to outdo Dirty Douglas by starting up Rabid Ramsey? Or perhaps we're just seeing a Ramsey variant. Hopefully its not a Ramsey variant. That'd be bound to be harder than the shandy drinking Douglas variant. Been advocating for a wall between Ramsey and the South for years to keep all the sun for ourselves, with this masterstroke we'll make the buttys pay for it too! 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All vaccinated so why can't we see them? it can't be as simple as that correlation and I'm sure someone more qualified will explain it but I agree on the face of it you start asking the question - why vaccinate if it will make no difference to restrictions? ETA - I suppose is it along the analogy lines of you add fire doors and smoke alarms and fireproof materials into a block of flats to prevent fires that doesn't mean you start using flamethrowers indoors?

Copied from the Torygraph article - cautious optimism, with a possible sting in the tail. "Prof Sarah Walker said she was hopeful the vaccination programme could keep Covid under control. “I am cautiously optimistic,” she said at a briefing discussing the new research. “I think the last three months have shown the combined effect of lockdown and vaccination but long term lockdown is not a viable solution, so vaccines are clearly going to be the only way that we are going to have a chance to control this long term. “Without vaccines, I don’t think getting close to zero is really feasible in the situation now in the UK where we’re effectively endemic, we’ve moved from a pandemic to an endemic situation.” But she warned ‘“the virus is always going to throw us curve balls and we’re only a small step away from things going wrong again”." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
