Let's focus on reducing the deaths and getting shot of this virus first. That's the most important thing to me over a holiday. Some may differ
According to various experts, there doesn't seem to be a problem with kids going back to school. To be honest I have seen/heard that many people have broken the guidelines and social distancing anyway. Also, alarming statistics are showing a rise in abuse (at home) and the young getting anxiety and depression problems. We know that just 2 weeks can affect a child's learning and at home, it is not the best environment... they need school. So I would send them back. They are not the 'super carriers' as once thought at the beginning and rarely get the same symptoms. Regarding mixing with grandparents that's the responsibility of the parents, not the government. There was also worrying news yesterday that 500K have accessed the government suicide prevention course in just 3 weeks. Your comments on 'right-wings' and economy were stupid and I know you don't believe that Watford. You are the one who keeps saying these types are as 'thick as mince' so I guess most won't be working from home anyway? As for those who can afford to stay at home or are comfortable we shouldn't knock them. They have probably worked hard for many years to be in that position. There are some in our state that sponge and don't want to work. They find any excuse not to... we shouldn't compare.
85% of teachers dont think it's safe to return to school. Let the 15% go back and teach the kids whose parents dknt mind them being guinea pigs. That sounds like a plan.
We can’t say without the info. They won’t be transparent with the info ergo we can’t say they’ve done anything wrong at all. Convenient.
First and foremost the government should stop lying to the nation. That's a start and may increase some trust in them. Unfortunately the cock ups have been made. Going forward, I would make sure every work place and school setting passes an HSE covid test, unfortunately nobody is starting that. I would then let you and you alone book a holiday.
bob we did this yesterday. I posted on the other thread before I stopped using it as it was just a bitch fest for people who don't like the government. Other than 1 or 2 posts that got lost it became boring "100K tests" every other post. I am trying to keep this and my posts to politics. I am interested in your plan for the economy to move forward?
If you could guarantee the safety of the teachers and other adults then fine. As it stands we are expected to take the government’s word for it after their performance with care homes. Glad I don’t work in a school. The calls to ‘open up’ are predominantly from right wing media. Not that difficult a concept really. Again you exaggerate and conflate different gammon segments of society to miss the point, intentionally I expect.
C'mon enlighten us with your opinion. You admitted they had made mistakes, it's reasonable to ask what you think they were.
I find it really strange that a Tory supporter wont even dare question a Tory government on its actions. That is total blind loyalty even when theyve ruined his plans for a holiday!
