Coop had some roofers over today, doing some repairs to Castletown coop. UK firm, UK plates. Are they not supposed to masked up? Who checks these people are not from a tier four area.?

Where exactly will you find the people to do the training - ah, key workers! 0/10. The maintenance of swimming pools - not cleaning but maintenance if the systems that keep the water at the correct chemical level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they have , but denying prisoners showers, exercise , fresh air and phone calls for 14 days does seem a bit extreme & reminiscent of a Russian prison regime!!

Over 600 are symptomatic, its in their schools, 30 in hospital and over 60 cases in care homes and sadly 6 more deaths over recent weeks taking their toll to 38. Anyone else quite glad we stuck to our guns with the border policy? Unfortunately their gamble appears to have backfired, but of course hindsight is always 20/20 vision. Hope they can get control of it, iom and guernsey have shown them how... In a normal year around 2000-2200 people in Jersey die. 11% of them die of respiratory diseases. Covid accounts for a small slice of those this year. Let’s keep a sense of perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the stinking enigma Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 My guess is howie will waffle a lot in the style of someone who hasnt got a clue what he is talking about. But as a leader nonetheless. No change for now but we will be closely monitoring developments, ready to act in an instant. We have our own version of the COBRA committee on this 24/7 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Git Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 12 hours ago, AcousticallyChallenged said: Equally, green areas were probably far more likely to travel over. If you have an extended isolation period, you'll give coming over anywhere some serious thought. Unless you never intended to comply with the regulations. The more people you let in the more are required to isolate and the more won’t bother. It seemed a riskier policy than ours, presumably to try to save tourist and business travel.

It would seem that Jersey folk have given the restrictions the two fingers much like the rest of the UK. They'll get what they deserve (not all obviously). 4 - 8 weeks of hard lockdown. No mixing of households, no work from offices, no schools and essential food shopping only. The UK will announce the same very soon, fairly sure (but they still won't close their borders - the clowns) Edited December 22, 2020 by Nom de plume 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the stinking enigma Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 If i can hit strand street before level 6 lockdown is announced will they still allow me to finish my shopping? Dont usually like to start this early but hey, there's a global pandemic on, i'll do my bit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcousticallyChallenged Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Today’s speech will just be an explanation of how our fohteen-day gold standard should also keep us safe against the new strain, and in a cadence fit for CBBC, how we’ve been all very well behaved. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
