Where ?
On the Island, where does not matter, lets assume the person lived in Newport and over the last few days had been to Yarmouth, Ryde, Ventnor, Sandown etc….its irrelevant where.
Nearly a week behind. How many more this week?
You’ll only get told it’s on the Isle of Wight not any specific area. Sorry for the person that has it- wish them a speedy recovery. Still a very low figure and hopefully a lessening of future cases. Still stay safe and don’t get over confident.
There is now another case today. We must all take care and stay safe.
After several weeks of having visitors from all across the UK and Europe I think we’ll be badly affected. We were very lucky during the first national outbreak, with our aging population I think it’s going to be really bad.
‘Couldn’t agree more, sadly. 🙁
I hope you’re wrong but I think you could be right !
So this is one week old data? Numbers are still incredibly low considering all of the holiday makers from all around the country coming over. The real test will be next week when schools go back, with parents mixing outside the school gates and considering the nationwide picture of increasing cases and the flu season fast approaching.
Stay safe everyone. Hoping for the best in the coming months x
Unfortunately, there seems to be very little in the way of social distancing in Tesco’s and Sainsbury’s.
More people need to take it seriously instead of keeping their head buried with ‘it won’t be on the Island’.
There are more than we are being told, mainly to keep the tourists coming. I expect we will get told the true figures after September. Never the scooterists will bring it with them and all the pollution and wreckless driving, undertaking too.
Glad to see people are sick and tired of the scaremongering by the bs MSM and bbc. We get one infection, not death, and it’s dooms day! We just want our lives back. 2018 64,000 die of flu, not a mask in sight.
What’s most worrying is the thousands of visitors still expected over the weekend.
The Scooter Rally was cancelled but is succeeded by the Unofficial Scooter Rally.
Please please wear masks and social distance if visiting. Protect our Island Residents and their only Hospital. No one wants to be a kill joy but then no one wants to become another Covid19 statistic either.
