You keep coming out with these cryptic messages about three or four and I have no idea what you are on about. Please explain When was that then.

You mean other than absolutely everyone in the IOM now knowing who she is and what her business does? Although that might not actually be a good thing. It’s easy I’d suggest to ride a wave of hysteria in order to gain notoriety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think suddenly needing to test for COVID and not being setup for it was a unique issue worldwide. We might have needed to send to the UK for a few more days but countries with a a of less resources than we have managed. Sounds like another case of the island thinking we face unique issues when we rarely do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
