Major Rushen Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 One word Tim ....Asymptomatic ... you have Covid but don't have any symptoms Tim Glover currently self-isolating after testing positive An MHK is calling for government to update its advice about coronavirus symptoms, after he tested positive for the illness at the weekend. Tim Glover, member for Arbory, Castletown & Malew, found out he had Covid-19 on Saturday after taking a lateral flow test. He’s now self-isolating with his wife and says he can still take part in House of Keys and Tynwald sittings remotely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the Laxey Christmas market over the weekend and there must have been thousands there over the two days. I’d be lying if I didn’t wonder if any of them were there as unknown carriers and I had a LOT of interaction with many of them. Time will tell. 100% it's on the Island. It stalks us, like a stalky thing. Follows us wherever we are. Ooooooooeeer! You can run but you can't hide 🤣 The best we can hope to do is slow the rate of progression for all variants just by doing sensible stuff, not just variant 15. When our kids were little (30 & 40 years ago) and always running around with snotty noses and coughing all over the place they never visited the grandparents. It was the sensible thing to do until we thought the lurgy had passed. The same with both of us whilst working... if we had the same colds/coughs then we stayed away from parents and work, for however long it took to get rid of it. Sometimes it was just a couple of days, other times it could be a week. It's just common sense. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are still less than half a day back in the office. I am hearing about lots of other events likely to be knocked on the head, which is weird because most people I speak to don’t seem to be arsed. Once a few cancel, others will feel obliged to follow suit to be seen to be doing the right thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the government are prepared for the huge costs involved in spreading this unnecessary fear. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stating facts. I didn’t say I agreed with it. If events get pulled several of my immediate family who work in hospitality will be shafted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
