That is the most important thing right now ahead of pubs opening in full.Daughter’s isolating again after one of her class mates tested positive, second time in as many months. Seems pretty rife in schools at the moment. Feel for her as she’s only got a few weeks left at primary school, so prom/leaver’s assembly etc. all in jeopardy. I know it’s not that important in the scheme of things, but it’s hard for this generation of kids who are missing out on their childhoods.
I agree with the importance of schooling. It’s a tough time for the kids.That is the most important thing right now ahead of pubs opening in full.
it won’t matter much at the moment as they are due to break up but I’m concerned that they are still talking about mass testing in September. It doesn’t look like the problem will go away. It will only lead further to inequality in the education being received.
I disagree Ric. I think it is that important. I have 3 school age kids who have all suffered mentally through this, and I don’t know what the long term impacts are going to be. We are now beyond the point this has to stop. These are their formative years. They are never getting this time back.Daughter’s isolating again after one of her class mates tested positive, second time in as many months. Seems pretty rife in schools at the moment.

It’s a direct reference to the clamour for scrapping masks and hardly aggressive language. Never worked out what anybody has lost by wearing a mask in enclosed spaces in the hope it protects other people. Smoking indoors was banned to protect other people’s health so why the difference with masks ?The lockdown brigade would say “no one is suggesting that”.
seriously describing those who want to end restrictions as “anti mask brigade” is just aggressive language along the lines of calling someone “anti-vax” if they argue against giving it to those who don’t need it.
Yep, they’re a thing these days.Primary school prom?

The evidence for masks in public is actually quite small, currently we do it because indeed it does no harm. Quite a few studies have been done though which put the odds of catching COVID in a supermarket for example in the region of 1 in tens of thousands or more.It’s a direct reference to the clamour for scrapping masks and hardly aggressive language.

I wear glasses and know what you mean , gone through a whole range of masks until I found one that doesn’t mist my glasses.people won’t be arrested for wearing a mask you can still wear them if you want to.
it’s called common sense . If I am on the tram and it’s packed I will probably wear a mask , if it’s reasonably empty I won’t.
they are a pain in the arse if you wear glasses . As soon as you go indoors mask on glasses steam up and social distancing out of the window as I just bump into everything!
oh dear.Yep, they’re a thing these days.

A bit surprised that you've returned a negative test result or have you had Covid previously? If not, guessing it's an example of the vaccines reducing the chances of catching it?All our set of pcr’s came back at midnight - me and missus both negative, both my kids positive. My lad, who‘s 20, has zero symptoms and was shocked to be told, my daughter is poorly but not too bad.
2 guys who I watched the games with on Tuesday and Saturday have both tested positive after I told them to get tested.
If the children enjoy it and it doesn't get out of control, whats the harm.oh dear.
Mine are older now, but kids’ milestones are important and can’t be postponed until a later date. My daughter had no 18th celebrations at all, and is now 19. Her A levels were cancelled and she never went to college again after March 2020. I feel for all children and young people who’ve missed so much.Daughter’s isolating again after one of her class mates tested positive, second time in as many months.

some quote rightly said that they are always at risk and didn’t demand people cover their faces to protect them before covid and shouldn’t after.
Yes, I know young people that have missed school leaving proms and events, Graduations from uni. The sort of things that create life long memories. Young people and children have had a hard 2 years. Think it's been far harder for them than myself.Mine are older now, but kids’ milestones are important and can’t be postponed until a later date.

The other half's son has to take 2 Covid tests per week as part of his job and 8 days ago returned a positive result. He'd been in the pub most of that day and was still in there when he got told about the result so god knows how many people he may have inadvertently passed it on to. He didn't have any symptoms at the time but over the next couple of days it totally floored him. He's 29 and never expected to get it bad if he caught it which just shows that who it affects and how badly it affects them isn't an exact science. I'm 51 and overweight, but I got off really lightly when I caught it in January.
This is the mystery as to why I haven’t got it as yet. Both my mates are double jabbed too, one of them no symptoms and one who says he’s started to feel a bit shitty but nothing too bad, and he’s nearly 60. I get the feeling maybe I’ve already had it recently and been asymptomatic, I’ve certainly never been confirmed as having it.A bit surprised that you've returned a negative test result or have you had Covid previously?
