Coronavirus

So she’s being asked to go in and care for the kids of key workers then?

Given that this will only take a percentage of the total teachers at a school to carry out, I’d suggest she contacts the head, explains that she has asthma and that you’re vulnerable and therefore her risk is greater than most.

It's the Head telling her to come in. She'll have to contact her GP and get a letter and possibly her Union.

Bad news coming out of Lombardy, fears that the number of cases may seriously be on the rise again. Hopefully they will be able to verify the situation later today, as most eyes are on Italy.

Oh look here he is again lauding the idea that we should treat pandemics in the same way the Black Death was in the Middle Ages.

****ing idiot.

Did you know that 7 people a year still die as a result of Black death / Bubonic plague?
There are some staggering numbers linked to this plague from the 14th century .

I heard it’s getting a lot worse in the south too where they’re woefully ill-equipped in comparison.

As a free man, I allow you that freedom of choice..

That's awfully generous of you.

either way all this does is slow it down then after the lockdowns the next wave will come then lockdown , release another wave and so on. its just a case of controlling the numbers through care... everyone will get it one day.

Have you expressed this view to the CMO or one of the staff?

I'm sure it would save this country a lot of money. You should give them a call, there might be something in it for you.

I think they already know the plan

Never go out with a girl who can beat you up or run faster than you.

Must have cut your options down a fair bit tbh

Sounds like he may be jumping the gun a bit. What if she goes in, and a few days later the letter arrives from her GP?

Options are never a thing ive lacked tbh bru

 

[Solid Air]

I have bronchiectasis and I don't even have one of these letters. It all sounds like a load of nonsense.

this is the respiratory group defined as extremely vulnerable
People with severe respiratory conditions including all cystic fibrosis, severe asthma and severe COPD.
So it will depend if either of you are designated as severe though who makes that call is anyones guess.

 

[Treble]

Hmm.

Here's a little suggestion for you to help you solve that conundrum.

How about - and please bear with me on this - we do what Mankind was doing for millennia before the idea of a Nanny State was even a twinkle in the eye of Capitalism, and let our body's immune system sort itself out?

As one eminent immunologist has pointed out, the danger with running away from this virus is that it will eventually catch us up, and when it does there is every chance that it will be more resilient and deadly.

I hate to break this to you mate but for hundreds of years, pandemics and epidemics have been overcome not by our body's natural immune system but man-made interventions. Even something as basic as quarantine and social distancing were the first response to things like the plague hundreds of years ago.

And we'd still have smallpox and many other viral catastrophes if it wasn't for a little man-made discovery called "vaccines".

It's human beings' ability to progress as a civilisation. Or perhaps you'd prefer to remain in the dark ages?

I'm ok it's Mrs luv I'm concerned about as she is really bad.

No job is worth the risk. She should tell the head to stick it up her/his hole and contact her union.

No one wants to be the headmaster that killed an asthmatic teacher by forcing them to work in a school with 5% attendance.

Loads of properties coming back on to the market today.

If your misses has not received the letter as standard, she can speak to her GP and they can make the referral to have one sent out.

The deadline to receive these letters is tomorrow so it's worth waiting until then before contacting the GP.
