The UK is scrapping its 14 day isolation, as it is silly.

Nice to see it can be beaten, fairly easily.

Shame you had a 40 mph speed limit on the mountain though

It wasn't just for the mountain, it was all island. Goes up to 60mph from Monday and hopefully reviewed again at the end of the month.

Yeah the schools are reopening as well. Although they said not compulsory to attend.

Every family I spoke to said the kids are looking forward to going back again

TBF it's much easier containing a pandemic on an island like Isle of Man, Australia, New Zealand than it is on mainland UK due to small population & the density of it. Having said that it's good news and great that the locals can get back to some semblance of normal life.

Has the IOM set it's own COVID restrictions or have they been following Blundering Boris & co?

We started generally following everyone else but now they are following us. We did the contact tracing etc and got a handle on things quickly.

But yes a small island does have advantages. But then the population did behave themselves.

Not like these protesters etc

...and the people flocking to beaches, nature spots, meeting on FAB, teenagers/young adults hanging around in groups, families BBQ'ing together. There's been a lot of selfish behaviour across the UK the last few months.

But good luck to the population over there. Interesting to see how long it is before you open borders though and then what impact it has

to be honest.

I think when it all first started they didn't know what it was or what was going to happen with it.

the lockdown was justified for those reasons. but now they know a lot more about it. any death is a tradgedy for the family concerned. but if you look at the stats the death rate is only about 5% of all cases, so is that bad or not.

I think the social distancing would be done for defo. but everything else I am not so sure.

what seems to have scared everyone is that they were able to track an an individual around the world, who they infected and how it has actually spread from country to country

TT 2020 was cancelled, as is the Classic TT and MGP for this year

Keep the shutters up and be safe, unlike us in uk having stupid riots over some criminal in America getting killed by the police. I await the abuse from do gooders

That is really good to hear. Just out of interest how many confirmed cases and deaths have you had there

Good for the IOM, might need to be careful with the borders for a while
