Off Topic Covid 19 restrictions have done one

Teacher on the news wants every single kid vaccinated before she will think about going back!!!

 

I don’t think any of them are the same risk actually
Supermarket workers have had Perspex screens fitted, drivers don’t work much with other people, NHS etc finally have PPE.

All along teachers have been getting told Covid doesn’t spread amongst kids, they don’t need PPE and they don’t need any particular safety measures
That doesn’t seem right to me, and the stats don’t agree either. They spend all day with up to 30 other households.
Strikes me as riskier than a lot of the jobs you listed actually.
Teachers would probably be ok with teaching key workers kids to avoid the situation you describe (in fact most of them will carry on teaching anyway) because they could at least minimise infection chances with less kids
I see MPs aren’t able to start work again...because of the infection risk

 

Link?

 

I too support the union's but I also take a dim view of disruption and inconvenience at this moment in time....It's not the Government who will suffer it's the parents,some of whom are single and trying to work for a living.If that 'luxury' of sending your kids to school so you can work to feed them is taken away then the union's will be responsible for people losing their jobs and abject poverty too???

 

They don’t while they’re with teachers
Only in communal areas I believe.

 

Firefighters and paramedics have PPE
Teachers keep getting told they don’t need any

 

But surely common sense going forward could change that??

 

You’ve done a Castro at the end there den!

 

The government say they consult headteachers.

What they actually mean is they consult the heads of multi academy chains that are likely also party donors and haven’t been anywhere near a classroom for 20-30 years if at all.

 

You know far far more than me on this.... how will PPE help? A mask stops you spreading it not contracting it..... so are they asking for kids to wear masks???

 

Common sense?
Govt guidance.

Not just ‘wear it if you fancy it’ it’s actually ‘don’t wear it’

 

Just asked daughter
Some teachers wear masks while teaching some don’t, personal choice it seems. If I thought it was such a big risk I would kit myself out. They wear masks while walking about as do the kids.
Crazy eh
Just get on and do the job ffs

 

I’ve no idea what they’re asking tbh
But if I was a teacher I’d want kids to wear masks
And if I had my kids in school I’d want kids to wear masks too

 

Kids only wear masks in corridors of secondary schools when potentially mixing with/passing by other bubbles.

No masks in primary.

 

Some schools don’t allow their staff to teach in masks. Government guidance supports that.

 

I didn’t explain well

Why aren’t kids wearing masks to stop spreading to others?

 

anyway....are you watching the boxing? Single malt?

 

Yeah that’s stupid They always find one

 

Yeah just started watching it

Peroni actually after a curry, but might go short soon!

You?
