I know people who are of a similar age and they are booked in within the next three weeks. I'll check my date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoTailT Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 My 25 year old lad had his 2nd jab early last week. I think the problem is people who dithered registering. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problem is people who dithered registering. I'm 15 years older than that and registered the day my letter arrived. My 2nd jab is next saturday. Same for a bunch of friends, all similar age, all registered straight away, all getting 2nd doses over the next week or so. So I think your dithering theory is incorrect.

It wasn’t quite that simple, they announced they would stop giving Astra Zeneca to under 40s 2 weeks after they had just started administering it to the 30s group, there wasn’t enough Pfizer to be reallocated as these was already allocated to under 30s (as that was the previous advice for Astra Zeneca) and they were already booked in, so anyone 30-40 was waiting for Moderna to come online and Pfizer to come back in stock.

AlanShimmin Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 So it looks like another fine Manx Muddle about to be unleashed on the island tomorrow. How many businesses are going to be able to take another hit if they're closed for contact tracing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do and maybe bit hospitalisation bad but bad enough they are in bed for a few days. They won't be allowed to go to school with just a little bit of Calpol so parents off as well.

I don't get why at any point we have never bothered with a compromise middle ground I.e. what the UK has right now. Masks when inside places, but take em off for dinner or whatever. Would surely be a logical step for Monday with it ultimately destined to disappear... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masks when inside places, but take em off for dinner or whatever. I feel like I've been shouting that for months. The problem is that the IoM's whole approach has been lockdown or no lockdown. There has been no middle-ground ("mitigation") between lockdowns. Everyone wants it to go back to 2019 as though COVID doesn't exist, in part because that's what the IoM Government have sold them. I suspect the reality of open borders without mitigating measures (masks, sensible distancing, ventilation) is about to bite and most will not like it. They don't want a middle ground because that, to them, is "lockdown". 5 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Quayle did say in the Keys the other day "we can't ask visitors to wear masks". It's like we're actively trying to market no masks or social distancing... in the middle of a global pandemic.
