If they don’t require hospitalisation, and have somewhere to be discharged to, why wouldn’t they. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are giving you the answers but you don’t want to hear them. Clue, they ARE all getting better very quickly because lots of them are in for completely none COVID reasons. 5 people in on one day and 6 people the next could well mean all five from day one went home and five new ones came in. They need to provide more detail The Health Minister confirmed on Thursday, as did a doctor that all the cases in then were in due to COVID. Your 'answers' are based on conjecture, extrapolation and Manx whispers. You could always email the minister, he's said to reply promptly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said Thursday was a long time ago and that I knew nothing about Thursday. It might have been accurate then but it isn’t now, as confirmed by others on here. You believe what you want to believe but if you think all cases in hospital are purely because of COVID then you need to give your head a wobble and speak to more people. Like the patients, their family, and the people treating them. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the logistics I was thinking of really - how do they get home without being in close contact with others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AM. FUCKING. BORED. More so Fairfax boring me rather than wrighty, as he makes some fantastic points regularly. This Fairfax kid speaks extremely clever when it comes to numbers. But then when he tries to make a point using...you know...WORDS AND LITERACY. He sounds like an absolute plantpot. I don't mind wrighty at all. OK he's not laugh a minutes but hey.....everything is relative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could pick her up from nobles and then leave her at home and go about my day as normal. Or she could come home in an ambulance? Or I could park her car at nobles and she could drive it home, get home, sleep with me and the I could go out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not asking what the family members of people in hospital positive with Covid are doing. I'm asking how a Covid positive person can be discharged if they have no-one to take them home.

Raffles Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Not sure I understand the logic in asking people who have tested positive from an LFT at home, being asked to go get a PCR test after that. Contact tracing has been done away with, why not ask everyone who tests positive on LFT to isolate? What is the point of another test, exposing the staff to the virus etc?

Raffles Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 No Gladys, it's not been announced. But I have 6 positive close contacts and no-one has been contact traced since friday 16 july. Of the 4 friends who tested positive shortly after that date, none have been even contacted to ask about their potential close contacts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
