oooohtony Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 6 minutes ago, Nom de plume said: How many are hospitalised currently? How many people have been hospitalised in Jersey in the last couple of months? (Edit - just checked. 250 active cases, 1 person in hospital). They've been open for donkeys. Well Jersey has no recorded COVID related deaths in anyone over 50 ever ”A Covid death is one where COVID-19, or suspected COVID-19, is mentioned on the death certificate. This includes all cases where the virus is recorded, whether as the direct cause or in combination with other health conditions” The last recorded COVID death was in February. So all looks good to me once the vaccine has a chance to kick in. It really is fine to stop testing unless they are going to start doing the same for flu and pneumonia which are currently killing far more people in Britain and advising people to eat better, lose weight and do more exercise. There is no longer any justification for any testing or restrictions. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the numbers don’t really seem to add up at the moment, we’re being told the Delta variant is more transmissible but if the current numbers are to be believed it appears less transmissible than the Kent variant, once it’s in 2 schools you’d expect it to spread like wild fire, as that’s what happened last time, so we should start to see positives amounts the 25-50 age range spike again .

Nom de plume Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 There is zero need to test anymore. It’s achieving nothing outside of unnecessary panic & expense. Motor on with the vaccines & end this utter madness now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambon Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Let's hope there are no more lockdowns. However, Boris has today said that the double jabs will hopefully be the answer to international travel, but this may be offset by retaining some restrictions after 19 July.

I'm very much living my life, was at a bike festival with 7000 people at the weekend...all had to produce and report a clear covid test beforehand...lots of sanitizer stations dotted around etc...I felt very safe I just feel that the IOM Gov are going to choke when it comes to actually "living with covid"............... they will bow to pressure from the minority that want to live in isolation I guess I'll find out if I was right in about an hour or so..............

People seem to be very slow in accepting that come the 19th July in the UK the only agenda is herd immunity and monitoring deaths (which have literally plummeted since the vaccine roll out). Very much doubt we’ll be back to border controls at any time soon here either. They should just stop publishing statistics as outside of deaths they are largely meaningless. UK already had a large percentage of the population with herd immunity, they were living with it for a year while we decided hiding was the best option, on that basis we should be hit harder with Delta variant than the UK has been, we should be seeing more cases then we ever have before if Delta is as transmissible as people are making out. 17th of July is still 3 weeks that we’ve had no restrictions. I’m watching the figures with interest as I’m waiting for news on whether I will be able to have an operation, chances are if the shit hits the fan (again), I won’t be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't you? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
