There is no obligation to leave the island. There's no obligation to leave a lead lined bunker either. That sort of paranoid thinking is exactly the sort of "keep the borders closed" type are loving. It's odd. He's taking about two weeks not a lifetime. A small price to pay to save a life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going for 'bold'. But not as in washing powder. I think someone saying "overdose of acronyms" is a bit of an outside bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladys Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 1 hour ago, Scipio said: "Tynwald has agreed to change the Island’s border policy on June 28. From that date both residents and non-residents will be able to move freely on and off-Island if they've been fully vaccinated. It means people must have had both doses of their vaccine and two weeks must have passed since." That means that any new cases found on the Island will have been brought in by the jabbers and don't think that that won't happen. Yes, everyone knows it doesn't eliminate transmission - it reduces it and lessens the severity and mortality. Next. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
