Not ten minutes ago they didn’t, or any sign of it coming. If they do I will just go to Spar or Shoprite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an island crisp shortage developing and it needs more media coverage. Never thought I would live in a world where the crisp shelves were empty. Would rather deal with Brexit and COVID again than live a life without Walkers. It’s going to be a tough Sunday in front of the F1 with no Cheese and Oniony Crispy delights. #dontmakemeeatanapple 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought I would live in a world where the crisp shelves were empty. Would rather deal with Brexit and COVID again than live a life without Walkers. Crisps are like toilet rolls, it doesn't take many items to fill up a shelf or many to be bought to empty one. So they're always the first to be empty even in normal times. And of course you will have to deal with Brexit and Covid again - they don't go away no matter how hard you shut your eyes. It's just that now you'll have to do so in the absence of potato-based smacks. Which absence itself is caused by Brexit and Covid and the incompetence of the UK Government is dealing with them.

As it stands, it's about 77% because of COVID. https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/covid-19-hospital-activity/ I would imagine that for a relatively small place like the IoM, we could produce accurate figures for those hospitalised for other reasons but tested positive once admitted but without symptoms? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again though it is abut confidentiality. We are too small to handle the information. I know of two people admitted in the last day or so as emergencies so any announcement on Covid would automatically inform me of their clinical state. Not sure that is fair really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banker Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 94 new cases reported with active down to 1197 & 14 still in hospital with 1 ICU so hopefully IOM now on downward trend 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sincere condolences to anyone who loses a friend or family member but it does happen millions of times everyday world wide. I will get called out for being heartless but there have been several other deaths on island this week. Every death is awful for those close to it, but we can’t stop them all and if we did we would have a whole heap of other issues. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
