wrighty 5,882 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 2 minutes ago, Peter Layman said: Good to see that the Java staff tested negative and are now back at work. I am slightly confused at this though. My colleague at work is currently self isolating at home after his young daughter was caught up in the school isolation bit. Daughter had the test which came back negative. However, the family still have to stay in isolation until they have a second test. Why does that not apply to Java staff? Because we don't know the exact timings, level of contact etc. I would suggest however, that young daughter to parent contact/transmission is far more likely than customer to kitchen staff transmission, which may explain the apparent discrepancy. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Two-lane 307 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 16 hours ago, Banker said: Several relatives have had similar experience which is not great if you’re elderly and easily confused ,one was promised call back as vaccinations line kept ringing out but it never happened Just wait until they get an email.... After I registered I got an email asking me to fill in consent forms. In the email the words "Consent Form" were highlighted as though is was a URL link. Clicking on it does nothing - because no URL link has been included. Further down there are what appears to be two URLs concatenated on the same line. Clicking somewhere does go to a link, but not to consent forms. But, somewhat to my surprise, I found that the final few characters of the second URL are actually a link to a third, hidden, URL - which is where the consent form is. How many oldies are willing to wade through the source text of an email to find this stuff out? - apart from me, of course. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not all of the staff were high risk contacts...so can work after a single test....which is what Ashford said on MR this morning.

Andy Onchan 4,789 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) What level are we on, in the Borders Framework? Level 4 is highlighted in green. Is that the current level that's in operation? I thought we were in Level 5A. I don't recall seeing a press release about a change. ETA: Indeed it does say we're in Level 4.

Unless you made Dr G minister the same would apply. This is why government doesn’t work then. Dr G knows more than the DoPH and the CEO of the DHSS put together, as witnessed many times with DA coming out with statements previously made by Dr G on Twitter it would be hilarious if we weren’t talking about a global pandemic.

I wasn’t knocking her, just thinking that previous bar work isn’t necessarily a deterrent to progressing. I’m a big fan of Dr Glover, but think she maybe needs to reign it in a little on social media re the government. I think they’ve lost control of this current “cluster”. Have four restaurant bookings before the weekend and expect half to be cancelled. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Neither are good. Which is your preferred? I choose neither. I choose being led by someone who knows what they are doing and who has staff to project manage the whole scenario plugging loopholes before they become a danger. Preferably around March 2020. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Does this mean we have the genomics back from Liverpool to tell us this? Steady on, it’s only been a week. Give it a few days and Hetty will drop them a reminder email.
