That's a fuck load of T&T ... impossible to reach every contact. We've just got to hope everyone hankers down properly for the next two weeks. It could be from household members already isolating with a positive case, don’t know as no briefing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more inclined to think it's personal, a senior medic in the Manx equivalent of SAGE who doesn't like someone else pointing out that without data you're flying blind. Someone's ego has been badly dinted by Rachel's knowledge & expertise. Not medics, but you are right, some headless chickens there. And yes, some ego protection going on as well. Too many cooks etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly into December as the new variant spread and factors such as people spending more time indoors influenced the pandemic. Let's not forget that both Chief & Health Minister voted against additional testing in a vote in the Keys, in December. I feel the need to remind people about this fact, as it's often brushed over. 9 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a debacle, the whole thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do they insist on quoting a load of meaningless statistics when all anybody want to know is how many cases since yesterday and the context of these cases? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambon Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 1 hour ago, Mr Shoe said: This thread grows too fast to read every post! But your post that I responded to suggested that mass testing was pointless and only had value for show boating governments. Fair enough...I can now re-read your post as "100% mass testing is pointless/impossible, targeted testing is good, little testing is bad" Yes? Personally (and I'm in a very different field) I would have ongoing randomised compulsory sampling of the populace. In addition to testing for those with symptoms or specific reasons. Only testing those with symptoms and/or returnees is reactive. "Mass" randomised testing is proactive/predictive. They kind of do have random testing though, as anyone admitted to hospital for any reason is tested. That is how the lad from St Mary's School was picked up.
