In total agreement regard kids, no vaccine she ain’t going as far as I’m concerned, nothing will have changed from 3 weeks ago, so if she couldn’t go then, what has changed? Fuck all, it’s still as easy to get it and pass it on, until they can test and be 100% on that day that no one entering the school has it or there is a vaccine they can’t possibly go back.Afternoon Tolm; there will be some very interesting decisions for parents and teachers to make, sooner than most people were anticipating. There's a groundswell developing to get children back into schools. Denmark is seen as the model to follow. The Children's Commissioner was on the radio today, saying we have to get children back in asap or it will impact terribly on their learning. I'll tell you what will impact more - having dead parents; having dead teachers. The economy will eventually recover, it will take decades. The dead never return. You're absolutely bang to rights to do what's right for you and yours. I know I will. I'm already in touch with my union as I know they will be on high alert for sending staff back into the unknown. I won't be cannon fodder for anyone. I'm back in school next week, looking after the children who have no choice but to be in; I've zero problem with that and it's doable - we can ensure social distancing. But open the floodgates, let dozens back in and I'll fuck the job off. Not risking my life and that of my kids for anyone.
Take care bud, and no worries at all about masks etc. Happy to help.
My wife has diabetes, I work for the fire service, if they send kids back to school, what should we do, if my kid gets it and brings it home, she is picked up by grandparents , they could get it it could kill my wife, I have to be bloody careful at work and have to change there, shower there before I come home etc, no way they will let me stay at home, there will be millions in this position.The numbers of healthy young people dying of this are tiny. This virus is dangerous to the elderly and those with health issues. So when the lockdown is released those in the vulnerable groups should continue to be shielded. Everyone else should continue to take sensible precautions.
Yes, the ability to protect binmen is there but I feel a combo of not providing individual PPE plus being unwilling to invest in proper refuse trucks (perhaps causing a 3 to 1 redundancy) has prevented a risk too far for the operatives.Meanwhile, I watched, mouth agape, as our binmen strolled down our street yesterday, no gloves, no PPE and then sat back in the cab, 3 abreast. Not their fault, and I left a few quid for them (washed and placed in a plastic bag), but how the fuck is this allowed? We're sending people to work - and we know that a simple thing like gloves could and would reduce significantly, the chance of transmission (especially in jobs that require lots of goods handling) - yet we treat them like fucking cannon fodder. How fucking hard would it be for the government to decree that every shop worker, every binman etc has at least three pairs of disposable gloves to wear each day? It shouldn't be like this; it really shouldn't.
Don’t blame you for that outlook one bit. You aren’t alone!Afternoon Tolm; there will be some very interesting decisions for parents and teachers to make, sooner than most people were anticipating.

Wankers!sorry this may seem like as rant, and long winded.
Part of my job when we have finished the food bank runs is to check that the allotment holders are obeying the new government guidelines of only ONE tenant per plot NO couples and NO children along with the club houses is closed and no washing of hands in the water butts !!
Today on one site there were 6 couples and two had a child with them, I approached all of them and 5 were fine but of course played the we didn't know card, even though all plot holders have been sent emails with the new government guidelines and notices around the site.
Of course ONE couple decide to kick off. I remained polite and just said its government policy so sorry the kiddie shouldnt be here and only one of you should be working the plot. As we were leaving the site at the gate were this couple with the little kiddie and their daughter/mother to the kiddie. The Daughter than starts kicking of saying that her mother has to come up with her father as she doesn't drive !. I said '' couldn't your father come up when you or your husband our at home to be with your mother ?''...…..''NO we don't live with them''. ''Well your daughter shouldnt be with her grand parents if you don't share the same house , you aren't allowed to visit family as we are in lockdown''. Plus her parents looked well into their 70's and aren't that age group meant to be staying in for the 8 or so weeks ?
that didn't go down well !!! ''what are you some sort of jobs worth you little twat !'' the daughter said. ''If it means trying to stop the virus yes I am a jobs worth, you shouldn't be visiting or leaving you kiddie with your parents''. She was going on about schools reopening in 3 weeks yet her daughter cant come to the allotments with her grand parents !. I said ''I have nothing to do with schools only allotments''. I know I shouldn't have mention the fact that they shouldnt be sending their kiddie to the grand parents, but I am getting fed up with people ignoring the lockdown.
As the daughter was getting more confrontational I said '' If you aren't happy with the government's guidelines please phone the council and speak to ******* ****** '', and we walked away as there was no point in talking to her as she thought she was right and I was just a jobs worth twat !!
We got into our van to leave all the family ( 3 generations ) all got into the same car and than blocked our way out. We waited and in the end they moved. The council have said it will close the allotments to all if the guidelines are followed its a shame that some people really don't give a shit about other people.
going by what I see on a daily basis I don't see this virus or lockdown ending any time soon
sorry for the rant bluemooners ;)
