AlanShimmin Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Stop looking at graphs and models. Look at real life examples. When Israel opened up they had fewer people fully vaccinated than the UK currently has. Israel had a tiny increase in cases and virtually no increase in hospitalizations or deaths. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

America. God forbid even Jersey, people aren’t dropping dead left right and centre. We need decent leadership now. If anything the UK delaying is a last chance for our useless shower to bite the bullet and put the island on the map as somewhere people from the UK can visit and have a proper break without masks and distancing. It is a last time offer, and they won’t take it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will still obsessively be reporting covid cases. We are at the stage now where the government has backed themselves into a corner which is where they will remain. Bottling decisions.

It isn't stupid at all. The problem is the obsession with case numbers. Those numbers are not disappearing. In a month what happens? So in the meantime you have more livelihoods ruined, more fall out for those people mentally (be that business owners or employees). You also have the issue of devolved responsibility. Government don't really want to take responsibility. So they devolve it to someone else. In the IOMs case that is now the EAG. The EAG won't want to take responsibility. So they'll give the government the get out they need by bottling decisions to get back to normal. I think what is even more concerning is that normal rational people are now conditioned into thinking there is some unpalatable risk, where there really isn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
