BenFairfax Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 2 hours ago, Ramseyboi said: With two suspected omnicron cases here who were apparently out and about between travelling and being tested, when would we expect to see the close contact test positive. All the close contact have been doing daily LFTs (by all accounts for a few days before the official announcement it might be here) so surely we should start seeing a few more soon? Surely their households are all infected? We would expect others to test positive from 5 days afterwards (avg incubation period), key thing for me now and trying to find out when these two got off the boat/plane? (i.e. Day 0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i.e. Day 0) Over a week ago they stepped off the plane. It is a week since the positive PCR’s Edit - when I say “they” I only know for certain about one of the two, but the fact that that PCR was apparently back days before the announcement was made and the test was only done after they had been home and mixing for days would suggest similar timelines for the other that was announced on the same day. Yet apparently there have been none since. Edited December 13, 2021 by Ramseyboi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In June you could put pieces together to get 22nd-25th June with June 24th by far most likely initial seeding. No idea why Government being so secretive this time around. Thx pointer, you know firsthand they got off a plane? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But coven is simply a word that refers to a collection of individuals. a collection of individuals with similar interests or activities The doom coven is just a rag tag bunch of people who look for any negative angle they can find where Covid is concerned. Both Oxford and Cambridge dictionaries cite a group of witches as the primary definition. It’s language one would generally use to conjure up that sort of imagery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramseyboi Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I have heard of hospitality venues who were notified on the 7th that they had already had a possible omincron case on their premises in the days leading up to that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be “they arrived back on island”.

No idea if both tests are done at same time. One who asked PCR test post becoming symptomatic implies to me traveled from CTA, did LFT was negative and then went on to develop symptoms. As said fact we not being told relevant dates, I assume means Government hopes this seeding event fizzles out (as is possible). Naturally other seeders will be introduced, and Omi wave is inevtiable.

Numbnuts Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) All this speculation about speculation . Just chill guys , nothing we can discuss or think about is changing the scenario . Some people need to get a life and when they do try to enjoy it and stop spreading doom and despair. I've had a nice day today , met a friend for xmas lunch in Jaks and Covid wasn't mentioned once . Tomorrow is going to be the same hopefully. Commonsense is all that is needed and is something we can use positively and productively. Doom and gloom merchants , do one please , your not helping in anyway . BenFaifax , we have had words before regarding Covid. !!
