It's not spreading - yet!

I.O.M. Are setting up a laboratory to enable circa 2000 tests a day, while Guernsey are awaiting the delivery of equipment end of next month to do likewise. 

Read the news.

So as I said nothing about capacity of 2000 tests per day and your post was just cheer leading for Howie again who has done bugger all for 4/5 weeks.

I’ve neither read nor heard anything that suggests we are building a testing facility nor contemplating a test on entry policy.

In my opinion Quayle & Ashford are completely out of their depth with this issue & haven’t got the foggiest what to do next.

Their silence speaks volumes. Perhaps when the Chief Minister addresses us there will be some real meat on the bones. 

Jersey have proved the effectiveness of a well thought out & enacted policy. Their hospital is empty, their NHS is not stretched, their people are not dying, their people are not spooked.

We are still hid behind the sofa believing an apocalypse is imminent.

It’s worrying & extremely disturbing how the masses have been duped & manipulated by the media & Governments around the world.

Do you even live here.? You gave the impression from a recent question , that you lived elsewhere .

It is most relevant when saying we, them and us. Worse than a come over trying to tell us what we need, is a go awayer who still wants a say.

The actual briefing is available to watch on YouTube. It is all mentioned there. 

The government has been in recess for four weeks. Do you expect them to just sit and watch as we have no cases? 

Jersey has 32 active cases, regardless of what the government website says. Not all recent cases have been detected from arrivals. It is just  matter of time. Maybe the one metre social distancing, limiting groups socialising, wearing masks, etc. is the key.,not for me. I prefer to wait until the time is right. We are nearly there. Two more weeks then seven days and test.

An anti-expert extrapolating conclusions from compounded guesses. The whole post layered with the implication of conspiracy and deceit and topped off with a classic stock-picker boast.

Filippos extract re the selfishness of NZ relying on vacc and herd immunity elsewhere is in my unqualified view utter horseshit. As if NZ wouldnt make vaccine available when it came on stream; theyre not going to wait for the world to eliminate by vaccine before re-opening without offer vacc to their citizens. Herd immunity elsewhere? Is there such  immunity? This is closer to a cold than chickenpox as far as i can see so questionable that there is such a thing.

 

Those “conspiracy theories” and “unqualified horseshit” were actually the consolidated consensus of the SAGE committee advising the UK government straight until the sudden introduction of the UK lockdown in the second half of March. When politics got into it, the science changed!

Each meeting of the SAGE committee produced detailed minutes that the UK government resisted for a long time to allow in the public domain. When we finally were allowed to see them, we found out that the advice of the SAGE committee was to avoid any lockdown in the style of what back then was going on in Italy. They had only advised the temporary closure of the riskiest kind of activities, such as pubs, but at a later stage, if hospitals had problems coping.

They saw Covid19 as a virus that could not be suppressed in the long term and any effective vaccine only likely to be available when the pandemic had run its course. That was the balance of their consensus.

The masks is a similar story of politics overriding science; and actually, the UK's Department of Health and Social Care has always been opposed the use of masks by the general public and that advice has not changed as of today!

As for the politicians of this island, the likes of Ashford and Quayle, they don't seem to have a mind of their own. They just read the WHO's web-site and report its content in those briefings with journalists in the manner of children submitting to examination of their homework. Sometimes it is too ridiculous to watch to the end.
