the stinking enigma Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 It's quite simple. Any vaccine from a country that we don't like will be useless/a poison in itself. Any vaccine from a country we like will be a miracle cure, awards all round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A death three months after from a heart attack but with a negative Covid status could be seen as a success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banker Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Lots of questions in Tynwald yesterday on borders, 7 days testing etc. Howie refusing to share medical advice given on grounds it’s confidential which didn’t go down well. Anyway the debate is in Tynwald org and very interesting! https://www.tynwald.org.im/business/hansard/20002020/t201020 RHB.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chatter I seen from the same idiots that spout the same shite was re-open the Comis as the Covid concentration camp for the students. How about we let them back & the FB halfwits hide away for Christmas. They seem more than happy to be cut off from the rest of civilisation - let’s give them a trial run. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the 'FB halfwits' are grannies, and there's an election coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allinson said before they went that they'll let students home for Christmas, just to make sure to have your travel notification service thingy set up so that you can come back with a landing card if things start to change rapidly. 37 minutes ago, The Dog's Dangly Bits said: China just produces crap.

Honda and Yamaha do a notable amount of manufacturing there too. Half of the art of chinese manufacturing is specifying which grade of quality you want. You can always save money by cutting corners or spend a bit more for reliability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guernsey have 2 cases now with 1 from unknown source, so similar Facebook chatter down there about stop students coming back, burn tourists at the stake etc!! Iom Guernsey flight restarts today not Saturday as Manx Radio reports so that should cause more panic over here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the majority of it is shite. Flooding the Western world with it. At least Trump had the sense to make Americans pay the tat they import 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
