Still getting worse on the IoM, with 8 now in hospital and active cases up to 369, with forecast rises still:
At what point do they achieve "zero-covid" by virtue of it burning out from this wave and vaccinations combined?

Eight people are in hospital suffering from Covid-19 on the Isle of Man, including one in intensive care.
The number of new infections rose by 56 overnight, a fall from the record high of 81 that were recorded on Sunday.
There are now 369 active coronavirus cases on the island, with public health director Henrietta Ewart warning the total was still set to rise.
She said many people would have "caught the virus in the community before the circuit breaker began" last week.
She said the Isle of Man had still not reached the peak of the current outbreak, but the numbers should "drop down" this week.
Health Minister David Ashford said the healthcare service would be able to “adapt” if there were further ICU admissions and up to 18 beds could be made available “if necessary”.
