You were just so creamed up about being able to go back and forth to the UK on various jollies to see it. I think you're confusing me with someone else. I'm not going anywhere in the short term.

Personally I hope that, from now on, people will stay at home if they have a cold. Instead of sharing it. Thank goodness that more and more companies are now permenantly switching to mostly work from home. It's one of the big positives from Covid. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrighty Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 If the rules around testing and isolation aren’t simplified, clarified and relaxed I expect the island to be effectively locked-down in a matter of days. Cases are going up, thus contacts of cases or suspected cases are going up more, resulting in many places being unable to function. Testing is going up in parallel with this, while swabbers and contact tracers are going off into isolation themselves. I foresee a big mess. If I were in charge I’d simplify testing to only those who were symptomatic or unvaccinated very close contacts (ie sleep together) of definite cases. Isolation would be only for definite positives - contacts, those awaiting tests, people testing negative but symptomatic - wear a mask. Everyone else - get on with it, wash hands, and cut down on the gratuitous continental style hugging/kissing. 5 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Emergency Advisory Group has not published any more minutes of meetings, are they meeting, is their advice being sought, who is running the show? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immortalpuppet Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Hearing the same thing over and over “not answering a number I don’t recognise, track and trace can’t get hold of me I don’t have to isolate” I have seen some of the lengths they go through if it’s high risk but the point being if en mass the public are not willing to self isolate when they are not symptomatic, something has to be done to either relax or as above simplify the advice. Mixed messages when the IOMG want to stay out of our lives and let us make the right decision but then put a couple of thousand people into self Isolation when they are not Ill or symptomatic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
