A little bit of context to your alarmist points. Most people are in hospital with other conditions, not because of Covid. https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/most-patients-on-covid-wards-in-for-other-illnesses-says-manx-care-ceo/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why removing COVID sick pay is going to lead to both a wider spread of sickness (people working when unfit); and potentially people losing cash because they are to unwell to work but can't claim sick pay for the first three days. As for the hospital considering how many are being hospitalised at the moment with COVID it's a not surprise. Couple that with risking other vulnerable patients catching it in hospital is easy to see why they've done this. The Government and you may think it's over but it's not. No it is over. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banker Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Of more concern is the 220 Manx care staff absent due to Covid which is increase of 30 in a week which is causing severe problems 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly anyone I am aware of who has had it this year would have needed more than a day or two off work. Most could have worked right through. Most people knew the hospital number was meaningless and today Manx Care have finally admitted it. Why this data hasn’t been available throughout I don’t know. The constant obsession by some because two more people went into nobles for something and were routinely swabbed and found positive has caused huge distress to peoples mental health. Forget the numbers and live your life to its fullest. Summer is around the corner, we can travel relatively freely again and the best TT for years with loads of events is on its way. Get out and smile. I know two of the people in hospital. One of them almost certainly won't get back out and if they do it's into long term care - they were in fine health before. Both were admitted because of COVID. I also have relatives with long COVID who are under 40. However, that's not something you really care about. This has always been the case that MOST won't get majorly ill but some will get extremely ill and some will die. This is happening at a greater rate than the flu. The question is has Manx Care over reacted? The answer is no. We have a major nursing shortage (even before COVID); we have vulnerable people in hospital who can't take the decision to protect themselves because they are not in control of the environment; and there has almost certainly been spread internally in the hospital. My major concern for the general public is those who can't claim the COVID payment are going to be screwed if they have to go off ill at a time that everything is getting more expensive. As another poster said there was a time that the Government could have revolutionised the welfare system around sick pay but they choose not to. The sad thing is we keep electing the same tired old stereotypical politicians. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst it’s well known that Nobles hospital needed to invest in staffing levels a very long time ago and every new government elected haven’t listened. There are more and more people going to the UK for treatment then ever before and nobles hospital is becoming a nursing home. Manx Don’t Care should be held accountable. More layers of management than staff that is actually required. Why is our healthcare put in the hands of profiteers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same people who didn’t listen for years so employed a scapegoat to foot the fall. That hospital was falling apart way before Manx Care came along. Anybody with an active brain cell know full well that the previous administrations are to blame for the failings. MDC are there to make as much money as they can 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
