There are plenty of legitimate reasons not to wear a mask. It is pretty unreasonable for an asthmatic to have to justify not wearing on to every passer by with a cob on. He wasn’t he shouted he’d left it at home & obviously couldn’t be arsed going back for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoymouse Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 3 minutes ago, Banker said: One new case out of 390 tests which was a day one arrival hardly the massive community spread we were told was going to happen to justify lockdown. if these low numbers continue I hope he will reconsider and review decisions early Doesn’t work like that chief, you can test negative on day one and still be positive on day 13. If they aren’t going to retest people that have been exposed to a positive case earlier on then it’s a fairly good job we are all effectively isolating for 21 days to minimise spread.

Noticed that the old boy came upto other guys car on forecourt to argue but he sensibly drove off. so unless it’s mandatory these arguments will increase Why on earth would you need petrol on day one of a "stay at home" lockdown? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Hedgehog Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 This seven day elective surgery suspension. Is that for those that need a bed overnight. My mother in law is due in for a procedure tomorrow (no overnight stay)and was told yesterday it was going ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s upto the staff to refuse service not for members of the public to intervene, masks aren’t mandatory and a lock down is bad enough without people antagonising others. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrighty Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 2 minutes ago, horatiotheturd said: So you don't think there would have been any benefit to q better testing regime (any testing regime) for people coming into the island through 2019? Was never keen on day 1 testing - a negative could give false reassurance, and with such a likely low hit rate you might have seen a higher proportion of the positives being false. This has changed now with the higher uk prevalence. It’s a complex situation, and testing protocols need to adapt to the changing prevalence across. It may be that you can only work out what would have been better retrospectively - hindsight is always 20/20 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, since according to the government page shouting carries the highest risk of transmission irrespective of mask wearing, I'd say approaching him was still daft. https://covid19.gov.im/general-information/guidance-on-face-masks/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t work very well in England. Do they have bouncers who stop you coming in? What happens if you take your mask off once you’re inside?

Banker Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Cancelling respite for people now so those poor individuals who care for those who use respite will be stuck inside for 7 days with no help!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horatiotheturd Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Civic amenity sites opening between 15th and 20th January. Good job these clowns weren't in charge of putting the systems back into shops and private places of business who all had robust plans in place to go overnight.

There will always be those who test the rules and probably the same ones that scream infringement of their ‘human rights’ in defiance of being told what to do, in this instance it’s someone that forgot their mask, providing social distancing is in place and adhered to it’s hardly a big deal, the virus soon fizzled out last time and that was with minimal mask usage.

With the exception of possibly a delivery driver I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't be able to run a few days without bothering a petrol station when we aren't meant to be going out. Bit of planing ahead surely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
