Glad you’re still there then. At least you can see the results of your work and many will be glad you put in the hours you do. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be hellish living with that attitude. Yeah ok. He' dead brilliant really. eta I have to say I was rather gobsmacked at the time he made his pronouncements. And it had to be brought up again in reply to Roger Mexico's post, you see. To redress the balance. Don't worry, though., I am sure it will be mentioned again, if you really, really don't mind, on your forum.

Major Rushen Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Am I missing something 1400 people waiting for a test should be a lot of people with symptoms. I hope those with symptoms have been logged and they are their households are isolating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetchtyke Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 As I thought, the 1400 do include those waiting for routine tests after travelling off island or attending medical treatment. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=679790689376170&id=195930051095572&sfnsn=mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbnuts Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Quayle clearly says that all venues visited by the infected were informed before public announcement . Really you sure ?? Seems to fly in the face of 1886 response Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't you just accept that everyone is entitled to their views and their feelings. We get to hear about your's often enough. Not one person here has given any indication that they are panicking. Not one. Really there were a few calling for pre emptive lockdown for 2/3 weeks but that’s not panic FFS!! I was para phrasing from press release if you read it, basically giving tests to keep people happy not for any medical reasons. Hopefully there will be no cases and the person who offered to eat humble pie if I was proved right will do so !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody should be eating humble pie. The utmost caution is the most sensible approach. Very few people would be long term impacted by a short circuit break. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 If you are wrong @Banker then the outcome would have significant negative implications for both people's health and the economy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny F Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 We are all relying on advice from Public Health, thats Henrietta Ewart in plain terms, this is the woman who went on holiday at the start of a pandemic! She says this is a low risk event, 1400 odd people disagree Henriatta. The first words out of HQ's mouth tomorrow need to be, Rachel Glover please come back to work ! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would we lockdown when there’s no spread and 286 negative cases & no new positive ones? Howie also pointed out in update that the number awaiting tests includes all those waiting for day 1& 13 tests, hospital appointments, etc Edited January 2, 2021 by Banker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 3 minutes ago, Banker said: Why would we lockdown when there’s no spread and 286 negative cases & no new positive ones? Because of the time that it takes for an infected person to become infectious. A short lockdown would be way less damaging than a longer lockdown as a result of a significant outbreak. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
