trmpton Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 The so the young who were never at risk and who have given up so much to protect the oldies, are now going to be at a disadvantage to the oldies when it comes to travel as well! Lovely. Makes me even more annoyed that they are slow with the double jabs. Imagine being able to make that announcement and proudly state that we had second jabbed tens of thousands of extra people effectively giving islanders unrestricted travel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowman Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Imagine being old and having the privilege of 2 jabs and not wanting the border to open. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanxpilot Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) Another big change is the removal of the requirement to isolate if you have been a close contact of a positive case. That will make a huge difference in how we live with the inevitable community cases that will pop up at some point. And yes, happening from 28th.

There will be COVID party’s so people can get it and not have to isolate (assuming they do what the rest of the world seem to be doing, and a precious positive case counts the same as two jabs) Off to write a business plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Can't say I like the plan to test secondary school kids twice a week. They've not done anything wrong, leave them the fuck alone. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I hadn’t already had it, and if it meant I could travel freely from the end of the month I would happily meet an infected person on the hope of catching it.

Fantastic news. At last some pragmatism. I just hope if (when) we start getting cases, they don't succumb to the inevitable calls for retrograde steps. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
