This kind of reminds me of a Western film, with Jack Elam I think. He was a shit shoveller or something like that and became the Sheriff or Deputy Sheriff 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This does not mean she has to or should expect to be consulted on every decision made. When it was decided to go back to the straight 14 day isolation mode it was the situation across that drove this forward it was not necessary to ask her regarding the infection side of things it was an outside influence. Before I am accused of being sexist, which I am not, I do not value anyone with inflated egos be they man,woman or child. Her issue was the depletion in data that resulted. We now don’t know what we don’t know. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 In this case what we don’t know probably will not hurt us as data is what data does and was probably not useful in this instance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piebaps Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 No probably about it sid. The 7 day test was voluntary so we'd only ever know the results of those that took it. The people who didn't want to pay would all be unknowns unless they became symptomatic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs to be weighed up against a whole host of other factors which may be more important to the wellbeing of the island in general. Well, the thing is, scientific advice and thorough testing may have kept the 7 day testing, but Howie likes the political image of his 'foh-teen day gold standard'. Positive cases are bad for votes in his eyes, even if they're isolated. That's the crux of RG's issues with the current approach. We can't know what we don't look for. The wellbeing of the island at present seems to be hinged on shutting the doors and burying head in the sand til the big bad virus goes away. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
