I'm sorry you have such a bad memory. It wasn't all that long ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are very few absolute human or civil rights. After that it’s a proportional balance between the rights of one against another and the rights of one against those of wider society. I rang the IoM pass helpline this morning. I’m hopeful I’ll have my 3/3 pass before my Xmas lunch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They include chips in the vaccine, covid being imaginary, covid being a deliberate plot etc. People who were saying it were branded conspiracy theorists, anti vaxxers etc. Like I've said I'm not an anti vaxxer had my 2 vaccines but that's it now I'm not having the booster and if that means I'm marginalised or excluded from activities then fine.

An unvaccinated home worker is dramatically less likely to give you Covid than a vaccinated pub worker. It's just not a sane or reasonable response to ban the unvaccinated from things. I am double vaccinated, for context. Edited December 20, 2021 by HeliX 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People using the term main stream media have the conspiracy mindset, have fallen for the conspiracy theorists' world view. In the democracies we have media - accredited sources etc. Everything else is the fringe media - the tabloids, people on Twitter, The Conservative Way Forward Whatsapp group etc. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramseyboi Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Oh and Alf, remove the requirement for PCR tests while you are reducing the isolation requirements as well please. We all know people aren’t volunteering the fact that they have a positive LFT because they can’t risk ten days isolation and the chance of their whole family having to isolate if possible omicron. If you could ditch the PCR, the ten day iso and the stupid requirement for a whole household to isolate if possible omicron that would be lovely. Thanks in advance. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladys Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Had my booster today, a pre-arranged appointment. There were two queues, one for appointments, one for walk-ins. The wait was about 40 minutes. There were two women kicking off that the two queues were going into the same vaccination area so what was the point of appointments? They were assured that the vax area was spilt into two, one for each queue, but they were not happy. Really felt sorry for the staff down there. I would say less than half of the cubicles were staffed so it is down to having enough medically qualified staff to jab arms and I am not sure how you address that in quick time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Positive lateral flow test = 10 days isolation in the Isle of Man. People can leave isolation following two negative LFTs with a minimum of 24 hours apart - all needed to be recorded online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petefella Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 “Self manage your own health” What a great message by Alf Cannan, they don’t seem to be bothered about anything anymore which is good. As long as they compensate businesses for the damage caused so far by the omicron fear this is good news. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Just been watching Alfs big media conference. Talking the obvious really, thought there was an immediate announcement going to be made. Mark Lewin the CEO of Starship Enterprise was interpreting medical slides. Before long it’s going to be the CEOs deciding policy and presenting to the GMP. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
