What I can say for sure if we went into strict lockdown 26th until 2nd; in accordance with our agreed mitigation to the events occurring in the IoM.

Could you please finish this sentence so it makes sense? This is what I don't understand about this individual. He's making up all this insanely (supposedly) intelligent number modelling (which I think is a load of sssshh-ITE) yet he can't string a basic sentence together and then when apprehended claims it to be autocorrect 🤣 When my phone autocorrects sentences in the hopes of making me look like an imbecile I tend to go back on myself and make sure all is in order. (just as I have done with this post) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a bad take. I'm not giving them any shit. You've gone off the deep end there in your attempt to make a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with this is that there is no legal obligation on them to isolate. Hiding the issue is not dealing with it. What's the issue? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramseyboi Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 1 hour ago, Ham_N_Eggs said: So what IS the issue? We don’t make people legally stay at home for 10 days if they have the squits. It’s strongly advised and they ask kids not to attend school but it’s not a legal requirement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Rushen Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Time take personal responsibility if you have flu, don’t go to work phoning 111 to complain won’t make you better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The time for legal obligations to miss work and disrupt the economy, families, livelihoods and lives of people who are trying to get back to normal is gone. We're now living with COVID, we are not building society around it anymore. Edited August 4, 2021 by Danoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanShimmin Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 So a genuine question that I haven't seen answered anywhere. How will we know if/when the Isle of Man hits herd immunity? What will be the signs that it's happened? Cases won't dry up and people will still be going to hospital as Covid is now endemic. I'm genuinely interested in real world examples and not the diatribe of Glover and Fairfax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably a fair guide, although how many admissions now are because of the harm done by lockdown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if we continue to test everyone on admission, there will always be people being admitted with COVID even if they don't know it. Good question, I was actually wondering the same and would have call manninline to ask DA if I had been free. When do we just accept that lots of people have it and stop testing? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
