Ok, I admit I have come across as a **** with a couple of posts regarding this ( I think this lockdown has had more of an effect on me than I like to admit)
But what I find frustrating is when I hear public sector workers such as teachers saying they want this lockdown to continue. In an ideal world everyone would but we don't live in an ideal world.
PHW will still get paid, they don't have the same worries as I and many millions of people in this country do. I would love to have lockdown until this virus has been eliminated but it's simply not possible.
We are asking workers in the services industry such as ASDA, TESCO to work so why can't we do the same? If everyone is extra cautious we will just have to live with the risk.
When do we agree its safe to go back? Is it when there is only a couple of hundred cases left? How long would that take? Do we wait until there is a vaccine? If there is ever gone a be one?
I fear what is coming next such as civil unrest and recession is gonna be far more devastating than this virus ever was.
Again, I apologise sounding like a **** in the previous posts.
And people in supermarkets have to work otherwise we wouldnt have any provisions. It was a bollocks post in many ways and not thought out, and instead borne out of a dislike for public sector workers and probably little else. The stigma that the Cameron govt attached to them when scapegoating them for the mess the bankers caused has stuck in the consciousness for so many people.You're still missing the point. You're propagating the myth that teachers, support staff and kids have been tossing it off for the last 2 months.
The classroom situation is quite specific and that has to be taken into account. Some jobs you can feasibly social distance some you can’t. Teaching you definitely can’t imo. You shouldn’t fall into the trap of thinking that teachers generally don’t want to be in school teaching the kids and just can’t be arsed, most of them do. But concerns of being surrounded by a crowd of snotty unhygienic kids in a very enclosed environment at this time rightly causes them concerns. The fact that private sector workers might not get paid if they don’t return to work is not really their problem or relevant to the health and safety of teaching during a pandemic.
Mean average years lost is ten years (not seven months) so I doubt it.Also need to factor that high percentage of those that have died would have died in the next 7 or so months anyway so excess deaths may actually level off a bit by the end of the year. Providing we don't have a big 2nd spike.
Ha it was a funny question to ask,not the answer I expected lolHere's one. Year one kids, my wife has to help them open their lunchboxes, they need help with stuff.
Just another example of people who have no idea what fuck teachers do.
Social distance from a cheese barm, I ask you!!
They are workingNo, it isn't their problem.
But if teachers don't work then kids can't go back to school which means parents can't go to work.
I’m in the middle and getting annoyed by both sides, there’s plenty of room on this fence if you want a seat.It's amazing how polarised people's positions have become here (and in the US). What the hell happened to the centre ground. When you get a heated debate between two sides the truth is usually to be found in the middle.

Sounds like a reason to understand what they contribute to society and appreciate them rather than just treat them like they are work shy twats. But each to their own opinion I suppose.No, it isn't their problem.

There are always three sides to a story: yours, mine. And the truth.It's amazing how polarised people's positions have become here (and in the US). What the hell happened to the centre ground. When you get a heated debate between two sides the truth is usually to be found in the middle.
That's why they'll be in groups of 6-8.Social distancing toddlers at schools won’t work and will be really mentally unfair on them.
There are obviously a lot of things happening to the sick Covid patients and blood clots is one of them.Anyone got further knowledge on this subject:

I saw a blog a few days ago that originated in Italy about clots and CV but this seems to be more credible (if the BBC can be called credible).
I think kids will adapt ok at school, especially if they have been following the “rules” at home .. it’s the older children with non compliant parents that will have trouble and will make it awkward for teachers and othersSocial distancing toddlers at schools won’t work and will be really mentally unfair on them.
