hissingsid Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Well if they test and isolate perhaps this disease would not be interfering with our day to day life, only if they suspect they have picked it up of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult equation. Clearly if they did test and isolate now in my opinion it would interfere with our day to day life. More people would be of work and more resturants , coffee shops and general shops would be affected . So would all the self employed professions which keep so much of our infrastructure going .

Fine f you get unlimited sickness absence like government workers not if you’re self employed, building etc. Also lots of government workers don’t bother with the isolation just stay off work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I think what @Happier diner was challenging was the assertion that "... come back at anytime for a few days it then restarts!" I doubt that that is true.

hissingsid Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I know people who have had Covid twice but I doubt if they would get away with it for six months come back for a few days and then fall ill again. Having said that I know of a government employee that went skiing got injured then had six months off on full pay and was complaining that they had to return to work because they were being put on half pay and could not manage. Whether they had an insurance claim as well I do not know but for anyone to go skiing without travel insurance would be a bit silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying - as @Banker did - that a govt. employee could go off sick on, for example, full pay for five months, come back to work for a couple of days, and then start again - ie be entitled to start off another 6 months absence on full pay? I worked as a manager in the UK NHS for 25 years and one of my various responsibilities was monitoring sickness absence across my trust. What @Banker was suggesting could not happen in the UK public sector and I'd be absolutely gobsmacked if the situation were different in the IoM public sector. (I'd be even more surprised if it happened in the private sector... ) Are you telling me that that is how it works in the IoM? Or is it an anti-public sector myth or "misunderstanding"?

Someone on here might know better than me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
