To Mask or not to two - Mask Megathread cont.

As oppose to you not beating your drum, eh? Give over.

Once again with your "absolutely NOTHING" when in fact the cause of the near 40 absenteeism's over the few days remains unknown.

A good portion = 17 but that is not the majority in this case as 20 were absent from work for unknown reasons.

Which is a far cry from Dublin Airport's issues only being "a result of getting rid of all their staff during Covid and piss-poor planning and organisation at a time of peak demand".

So you are still linking what happened last weekend with the DAA removing the mask mandate.

Unless you know that the staff that didn't report for work were 1, out sick with covid 2, they picked up covid while at work, then all you are doing is speculating or being deliberately obtuse about the situation.

I'm sure if removing the mask mandate or there was concern about Covid, Jerry Brennan (siptu rep) would have made it known during the week. He did raise concerns about staff overworked and doing extra shifts. But no mention of masks or covid.

Now of course if you have some evidence that it was down to the lifting of the mask mandate or that the staff did in fact pick up covid in their work setting, Please feel free to share it.

Outright attributed more than alluded

You'd need a mask to reduce the stench of incompetence

One of 3 reasons given at the Orieachtas hearing was staff absences due to COVID-19.

So you can hold off your "nothing to do with masks" malarky.

Heard that Irema have lost the HSE mask contract and that we are returning to purchasing FFP2 from overseas.

Anyone heard anything on this?

Is that the end of the HSE surgical mask manufacturing also?

What about the surfical mask line they bought and had installed at Ireama?

Please show us how those absences have "nothing to do with masks" @_Kaiser_

There's no point. He/she can't. In fact he/she is so far down the rabbit hole of denial that they are suggesting "COVID" was used as a "convenient excuse" and was not a real factor.. But yeah let's pile on others.

If you can't see the correlation between masks or lack of masks and Covid cases at this point there is no helping you.

INMO absolutely spot on! Couldn't agree more!

The demands begin! We are never going to get away from this Shyte. I don’t mean the virus per se but people and organisations constantly threatening our freedoms and choice on how we live our lives everytime there is some rise. If they get their way with mask mandates you can be sure demands will focus on other restrictions next. Overcrowding? 50% of them were in hospital anyway!

This BA.4 won’t be a 1600 in hospital event like it was a couple of months ago.

Not fair. They've done some TV ads.

Conveniently forgetting countries with the strictest face mask laws still had record cases only a couple of months ago 🙄
