I’m with @The Light Was Yellow Sir @hgblue and others is saying what we have done to our kids the last few years will not go down well in our history.

Untold damage done to them as well as millions of others whose stories will come out as the numbers of cancer deaths emerge due to lockdowns and the impacts they had etc.

The number of deaths from other diseases such as cancer would have been significantly higher had we not locked down and limited contact so I’m not sure of your logic there.

I know some politicians tried to push that argument but it never made any sense, it was shot down very well in a recent parliamentary committee though.

If it wasn’t I think you should make your point better then, maybe use words not pictures.

Did you not notice the only people wearing them in those pictures? We’ve told them they’re ‘viral vectors’, ‘superspreaders’ and ‘granny killers’ and everyone thinks that’s perfectly normal. It’s staggering really.

Yeah, my wife is a governor of 3 schools, 2 primary and one secondary. They’ve all had issues, but nothing as bad as people are fearing on here.

The biggest shock to schools will be exam results this year after 2 years of their teachers being overly generous with gradings.

So, missing 2 years schooling is no big deal? Where does one begin with that pile? Having a week off to go on holiday is not allowed because they’ll fall back but having 18 months off is no big deal. Really?

Yes, really. You can be as outraged or sceptical as you want to be, but grown ups have been running schools.

Of course they aren’t where they would have been without Covid, but they haven‘t let kids go feral and have actually taught them stuff. They haven’t had 18 months off.

You're falling into the social media outrage of not being able to take your kids out of school for a week Willy nilly, but can for a deadly pandemic.

Who told them that ? As far as I know they were told wearing masks helps stop them spreading covid, same as the rest of us. Nobody accused me or anyone I know or any children they were granny killers. Only sataggering if you mis represent what children were told.
As I said earlier have you actually spoken to any children and asked them or are you just making assumptions that match your veiws.

Not sure how they’ve had to wear masks in his world as he suggested to me that they’d had 2 years off!

People who supported these measures can't bring themselves to own the results. To be honest, if I were them, I'd be telling myself they were no big deal too.

That's a bit depressing. I'm up to day 6 now and still banging in positive results. We were meant to be going away this weekend so I had thought I'd be well clear and able to go but starting to look doubtful now.
Actually, quick question for those who have been through this daily testing and isolation thing. Does the strength of the line on the LFT fade as you go through the process or is it not that clever and it's simply a case of there on one days test and then not there the next?

Tested again today, day 12, still positive but line now very faint and takes longer to appear, initially the line appeared virtually immediately and was very strong. So must relate to how much “stuff” you have going on in nose and throat would be my guess.
 
Smoking gun for lab experiment escape?
Lab samples sent to Hungary from a lab in China in Dec 2019 were contaminated with a Covid-19 variant virus that bridges the gap between Bat virus and Wuhan strain.

Falling into the social media outrage? Some of what you say might be true but not for the vast majority of working class kids whose only way out is through the education system.

My wife’s 3 schools she’s a governor of are in Oldham.

However you wish to paint us as “middle class luvvies” doesn’t mean much as you are reaching to try to justify your argument by trying to belittle ours.

Whoever wants to get themselves ahead will still do so. It might take a few months more that it would have had Covid not happened, but it did. For all of us.
