Briefing
Kids can take lunch boxes but not pencil cases? Kids won't nick each others lunch boxes
How can women teachers work without childcare? They are key workers so their kids will be in school
Yep. The number of hospital admissions still slowly coming down though.Because we are doing a lot more tests.
Maybe, we shall see.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.
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.
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.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.
To be fair, I bet they went to school hundreds of times.I wouldn’t bother engaging with them.
They are obviously one of those who consider themselves experts on all issues educational because they went to school once.
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.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)

Spot-on. It's strange how tribal people have become. I am old enough to believe that it doesn't matter which political party is in charge because the system ensures that most of us will get shafted either way. For me it's the system that's the problem.There’s a bunch of people who treat their politics like their football team. I preferred it a few years back when people treated politicians with disdain rather than hero worshipped them. Some people can’t handle any criticism of the handling of the pandemic and some others appear to wish that the numbers of people seriously ill or worse were higher.
