COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[i8rags]

I have six houses on my avenue, as of today two are now empty, 78 year old walked to the shop for a packet of fags, literally the only time she had any interaction and has now passed of covid, 75 year old next door neighbour decided to get scaffolding in and have his roof replaced, whilst having a bbq for his family who helped him, sadly also passed today. Two out six gone. Don’t fall into the trap that covid is all bollocks.

It’s going to be difficult, but on the whole teachers are up to the arrangements made by the head. They will work in a small bubble with say15 children each. Have. playtime lunch and breaks as well so the difficulty will be with the regimental different times parents and children will have to keep for it to work.

starting the week coming and hopefully nothing goes wrong I will worry for my daughter she teaches 7 years old so maybe not to bad but her own children are staying home for now.

No, 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.

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.

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).

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.

There are always three sides to a story: yours, mine. And the truth.

I’m on the fence with the teachers’ situation, can see both sides, as my other half is also a teaching assistant. Fortunate or unfortunate, but the summer holidays are quite obviously the elephant in the room as I think there would be benefits for schools to have made a start in having children in before the break, otherwise if we leave it until September the whole conversation starts again whilst everybody is in “summer mode” when it’ll be far harder to agree on matters prior to the Sept restart.

Tough call.

Social distancing toddlers at schools won’t work and will be really mentally unfair on them.

That's why they'll be in groups of 6-8.

There are obviously a lot of things happening to the sick Covid patients and blood clots is one of them.

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 others
