Gladys Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Well, I have just had my first negative LFT, so hope to be out of isolation tomorrow!!! Funny thing is that I felt worse yesterday than I have done since testing positive. Still not awful, though. It must have been my immune system giving Omicron one last kick up the backside. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The infection rate seems pretty high although fortunately while symptoms do vary there appears to be a much lower number of hospitalisations than previous peaks. Lets just hope that continues. The required isolation is a big issue in respect of work as the way it appears to spread very quickly might easily mean we would have to close the office if one person inadvertently came in and spread around their work colleagues. By the time you show +ve on an LFE you probably have already been infectious for a period. With everybody presently apparently healthy it is hard requiring staff to do LFT's each day and wear masks to work or to work from home if they live with somebody has Covid. From one angle it seems over the top for the severity of symptoms for most but equally if you don't there is a risk we might have to close the office for a week or 10 days. The previous outbreaks were not great but at least you did not have to worry that there was a possibility all the staff could be infected at roughly the same time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not even funny reading them anymore. It’s sad. You might as well run through Strand St in your underpants with a tinfoil hat on if that’s the way you choose to project yourself and your views on a public platform.

To be fair it's not really comparing like with like. The UK figures are based on PCR only, while the Manx ones are PCR + reported LFTs. The figures are taken from the weekly Surveillance Report Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Alf was saying for accuracy purposes the numbers may be released once a week in the near future. I think this is backward thinking, I presume he is trying to stop some people obsessing, which it won’t but many people use the figures as a gauge as to whether to hold an event or not. I am out, hopefully, to two gatherings next week I am pretty desperate that they go ahead as I am missing my friends but they are both on a we will see basis at the moment by the organisers if the figures start dipping in the next few days we will probably go ahead obviously taking sensible precautions but if we had to wait for a weekly report it would be more difficult to decide ..yes..or no. This Government is being really wish washy and losing a lot of goodwill it is difficult to make clear judgements without the facts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good thing that they're thinking about changing, it's going to happen eventually anyway. I don't think now is the right time though. Maybe once this wave has subsided. There will be a fair bit of resistance I'd expect. Hopefully in the future it'll be like other diseases where they'll perhaps put out a press release now and again if it looks like there's a fair bit about eg https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-isle-of-man-14989978 or https://www.gov.im/news/2013/may/25/suspected-mumps-cases-are-you-protected/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
