All that’s going to happen this weekend with Bunham not cooperating is that all Liverpool crowd will be on trains etc to Manchester this weekend to ram the pubs etc

As luck has it, Manchester is being forced to toe the line.

There was a potential problem in people piling onto trains - travel is supposed to be for essential purposes only, and people are supposed to stay local, though how that is supposed to be policed is another matter.

So, we could put it in simpler terms.

If someone goes around stinking of poo, given the choice, you'd be as far away as possible. But within reasonable constraints, being 2m away from the source of the smell is a lot better than being right up against it. The smell of said poo is partially from particulates hitting your olfactory system. Less poo = less smell. Same with COVID, less virus gets into you, the less chance it has of actually infecting you.

There's a good article in the BMJ about it if you want to read the history of why we use 1-2m as a ballaprk figure for droplet spread. Of course, it was thought that COVID only spread through droplets initially, but there's lots of talk it's also airborne, hence ventilation etc. helping.

 

This is almost exactly what the 7 day test here was. Even the heavy suggestion of face mask is mirrored.

Well we copied it from Guernsey to start with but now binned it for some reason, if Jersey get back below 30:100000 they will be on test on arrival then if negative you don’t need to isolate fully.

whereas ashie is talking about testing at 13 days ,no one will agree to that shit

Do you still think homeward bound students will toe the line here at Christmas?

Sorry, false information. Lancashire is now in Tier 3. Manchester is still being leaned on.

I see Guernsey newly elected island wide politicians weren’t as impressed with Gav as Howie and some on here.

He’s just been junked as chair of policy & resources - the GSY equivalent of Chief Minister.

This here. 

 

It amazes me the amount of people I see calling for tighter restrictions to save lives but in the next breath are quite happy to see people being thrown on the scrapheap and that won't have an impact on them, as if money just magically grows on trees.

 

There’s something wrong with this generation of wokes. They seem to accept any old shit pumped down the pipe at them. As I pointed out the other day - 40 years ago the streets of Liverpool were on fire as a result of social exclusion and high unemployment. But the wokes will happily accept any moves to move them onto the scrap heap as they’ve been told it’s in order to “save” other people. They’ll accept any old stupid plan, unemployment queue, repossession or displacement forced on them. Because they’re largely docile and have been scared rigid by virus stories. If this had have happened in the 80s or 90s the whole country would be on fire by now as nobody would have put up with this cynical life-wrecking shit from the political establishment.

Guernsey explaining a bit more about new rules from 26/10 , none of this whole household isolation rubbish. 7 days testing for Jersey & Southampton is good for them

Surprised Howie wasn’t asked how this impacts air bridges as Iom residents visit Guernsey and can mix with jersey visitors 

You did read the article? People from Jersey have to isolate for 7 days and then have a test. If negative, enhanced isolation for a further 7 days still not mixing with the general public (like our 7 days and test was). So basically 14 days isolation, just like here.

Did you read it? Still testing at 7 days and basically means Guernsey residents can travel to Jersey & Southampton and most of southern England and only do 7 days if negative so it’s not 14 days.

if any area gets below 30:100k it’s test on arrival so Jersey will probably get there soon .

our muppets are clueless

I feel much better now. Some of you on here would benefit from doing the same. Well, all of you really.

Yes , Howie would be same if he stood again. See new head comments 

He stressed the importance of looking after the island's economy, and said anyone who thought 97% of the economy was running efficiently was 'not living in the real economic world'.

Howie & some on here need to accept the above is relevant in Iom

It is 7 days isolation, test, 7 days revised isolation, so 14 days. That is what the article is about. 

Jersey wont see 30:100,000 this year unless they lock down.

It’s incredible ... no REALLY incredible.

The perpetuated fear peddled by the media & Government over the inevitable repercussions & deaths associated is genuinely mind blowing.

Sane people completely brainwashed, unable to see past a heavy flu.

Well German bar owners have taken court action, can't see it being to long before the same starts happening in the UK
