The Phantom Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 5 minutes ago, wrighty said: There is no harm from wearing a mask when done properly, and whereas it might not make a huge difference in spread of the disease, in the context of a hospital setting there is probably a small benefit to be gained, and it at least focuses the mind on general infection control procedures and that covid is once more amongst us. Manx Care's response yesterday, that masks should be worn in patient facing areas, is reasonable. I don't like wearing masks any more than the next man, and hopefully once cases come down in the near future we'll be back to business as usual. This is the key really. Just wear the mask. It's not painful, expensive, particularly arduous or longterm, just mildly annoying for a short period of time. Anyone anti-mask is just fighting against the vague notion of 'the man telling them what to do'. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred the shred Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 I was at the hospital yesterday and I seemed to be the only person who used the anti bacterial gel entering and leaving it really is not a big ask, perhaps the wearing of masks will remind people to make use of the gel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he on gardening leave or seconded elsewhere? The real question is whether Manx Care were being reimbursed for his costs. You would assume so, but it is opaque, as usual.
