I don’t know, but hopefully Westminster is watching our infected isle carefully. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the oft quote hope of the local population as in, if it goes tits up, the UK will step in and save us. Why would they? Its not going to happen until the hospital is swamped.

I refer yo to the end of my post Its not going to happen until the hospital is swamped. We have been before down to our last 500K in the bank and we were offered a "High Security Prison" as an out. Go figure We are self governing and that is the trouble...................... Quote Edited July 23, 2021 by Boris Johnson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nom de plume Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I see the easing of border & travel restrictions got through Tynwald. Time to crack open a cold one, no stopping CoMin now.

Our gov sound surprised when a local phone line is overwhelmed and they then run out of tests that they advised people to take. Answers on the back of a postcard to who knows which government is incompetent of making rational, educated, non political* decisions *Which despite the rhetoric make more sense for the economy than not making good decisions. If we had asked for help at the start we may be able to use UK intelligence in their civil service which we lack generally speaking on island, to forecast the outcome of a total open up without any "Mitigation" You make it sound like BJs handling in England has been exemplary 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as it was all kicking off no doubt to discuss similar military contingency plans. Actually that was at the peak of the first outbreak - it was the day with most daily cases in the that outbreak (26). Cases declines pretty fast after that, so any advice was too late to be effective, given the lag time. I always reckoned they felt like a jolly after being cooped up for a month.

I agree but the caliber we get should not be making life changing - live or die - decisions I know you have made it clear you think that it should just let rip with no "mitigation" but we shall see in the next few weeks. Take care NDP it can strike anyone despite their seeming full health or youth. That is the problem...........
