Get a grip man. They have it bang on. Sensible decisions. Not locking themselves into a hole like we are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we are about to be attacked by a flotilla or infected zombies, I would have to question why this couldn't wait until Monday. But no, our Howard does like to create a drama, puff out his chest and "Captain the ship" - Titanic or otherwise. Likely a backtrack from some aspect of Thursday’s completely unpopular announcement which they clearly though would be popular or some other sort of re-clarification.

So the day (that was always coming) when we confirm it’s back on island and discover what the plan now is? personally I hope so, as trying to keep the virus out was never sustainable and I have never seen any evidence that it was actually what they wanted. A small number of manageable cases always seemed to be the plan but we somehow ended up with none - oops. Then the public got so exciting we had to be seen to be trying to keep it at none, while secretly hoping a case would sneak in at some point so we could then move forward 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a little bit of over kill if that's the reason. It's more likely a case and given the urgency of the conference quite possibly community transmission rather than someone isolating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s been rumours of a case linked to that chopper that came in for days. If it is a case I’m completely unprepared to tolerate the shitstorm of public wailing and blind panic that will ensure. I might nip to Tescos and get some bog rolls now just in case. Also if it is a case how can that have possibly happened as we’re policing the self isolation system so well. Right?

Right? Yes, if this is a case it really won't be a surprise. Six people I know personally that have been away and bar one phone call the day after from 111 there were no further checks on them.

Which is why I’ve been much more in the testing and tracking camp than the “Let’s just do nothing and scare people into voluntary compliance camp” from the outset.

Of course it could be a case whereby someone has been away, brought it back, developed symptoms during isolation and is in further homebound isolation? A return of the virus doesn't necessarily ewuate to a break of procedure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holte End Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) If the Government are going to start charging residents £50.00 for a Covid -19 test, are they obligated under the equaity laws to bill to all those people they have already been tested. Could put a few coppers back into treasury with 10,000 test carried out already. Edited September 6, 2020 by Holte End 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t cover the cost of the test, sraff etc. It’s just a contribution so won’t be putting anything into the coffers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
