Zarley Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 (edited) 4 minutes ago, Ramseyboi said: No they haven’t. They are doing the same as every other school but sent out this fairly stupid email ” You may have seen the press announcement over the weekend that secondary school students and staff are now expected to wear masks in school. It would be greatly appreciated if you could support us in this by reminding your children and explaining the need to keep everyone as safe as possible. If there are health reasons why your child/ward cannot wear a mask then of course that is an exception. If they haven't then maybe you should let IOM Newspapers know. By the way, why would you be receiving emails from QEII if you live in Ramsey? Edited October 19 by Zarley AutoINcorrect 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, I currently live in Onchan but was born in Ramsey Edited October 19 by Ramseyboi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momo65 Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 55 minutes ago, Ramseyboi said: Panic!!!!!! New variant now accounts for 6 percent of sequenced cases in Uk Oh dear you are easily scared. Whether it's 10% increase in infectivity (if that is right) is enough to give it enough traction to displace delta remains to be seen. However a 10% change, while not great, is unlikely to be catastrophic compared to delta, providing it does not create more clinical illness. So really no need to panic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The “panic” bit was for those of you who might think it is an issue Why would you want to spread panic? I don’t think people are panicking.They just want to get on with their lives as safely as possible whist there is an on going pandemic. I suppose there are people worried the more people don’t care the more they have to wait for hospital appointments or procedures and can’t get on with their life. Imagine you can’t go back to work as you need an op to be fit enough and having to live on £80 incapacity benefit a week. When you’ve paid into the system, and your hearing people saying well I’m not doing this or that, I’m King Kong 💪. You can’t make it up really can you. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone interested (probably none of you) after this announcement on Monday my daughter reports that only a handful of kids are wearing masks although all the teachers now are which makes hearing what they re saying very difficult. People don’t care. None of the parent appear to be telling their kids to wear masks. Edited October 20 by Ramseyboi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
