Never heard of anyone in China getting Long Covid Syndrome. Weird.

Have you researched it?

Cancel physical presence for students but keep schools open for your kids, I'm guessing?

 

Students are just getting their lectures online anyway. As has been said, the only reason they are being dragged to campus is to fund land lords. They are all snagging each other and are clearly spreading it.

 

The way things are going I think schools may have to close too. I'm really worried about the effect of this on their education, so should you be if you believe in society.

 

Incidentally, hospitals are now reading struggling with covid absenteeism. Half my department is down.

So are schools. Both teachers and students. 20 percent of my wife's class was missing last week, she's probably gone in to find that more are missing this week. 

 

It is pointless continuing the pretense that keeping schools open is working. There are entire year groups missing and when that starts happening to the GCSE and A Level kids, that is true disadvange in an exam year.

 

Do the remote stuff to keep them ticking over and then once there's a vaccine get everyone back and work out what needs to happen to catch every one up.

Sorry, i just don't think it's fair to isolate younger children. Its too damaging. Closing schools should be a last resort. 

[Gemmill 46141]

Having kids must be even worse than I had assumed.

[Renton 22024]

I'd rather die of long covid than home school again. 

[Gemmill 46141]

Could be worse, you could be Dr Gloom and be teaching your kids that 800 divided by 3 is 200. I would advocate keeping their school open given that context.

It was only in May so fair do's, easy to miss in your research if you spent less than the 20 seconds I did.

8,000 pupils and 350 teachers self isolating in Liverpool alone. 

 

Keeping schools open isn't working lads. 

[Renton 22024]

Fucking bone idle teachers fancying even more holidays I reckon.

 

Just had an email from our Trust saying not to ever self isolate if directed to by the NHS app, and in fact turn the app off completely work. Clearly getting staff into work takes precedence over their safety like. An outbreak here would not surprise me.

Gemmill celebrating 8,000 ill kids to prove a point on the internet. SAD.

If the dickheads in charge had listened to me instead of you daft twats, the kids wouldn't be ill. 

[Gemmill 46141]

In fact, strangely I seem more interested in keeping kids safe than their actual parents. I'm a fucking philanthropist. 

[Renton 22024]

You need to consider psychological welfare as well. I hate agreeing with Trump but he's right in saying children, younger ones anyway, have little to fear from this virus.

When you say psychological warfare, are we talking about your kids fucking grinding you into dust during the spring?

It's not an NHS app though is it, it's Dildo Harding's baby (Serco) isn't it

Is that really true though, no-one knows yet what potential effect on young'uns is

He can fuck off, if I can still go to the pub (which I don't) I will visit my son and D-in-law (live 5 minutes walk round the corner) he's working from home, she's a veterinary nurse and is fully PPE'd when at work (and doesn't use public transport)

[Renton 22024]

You'll be breaking the law mind. Hope you haven't got nosey neighbours!

[Anorthernsoul 1221]

Might aswell just close the bars now. They are fucked as it is.

[Meenzer 15742]

Isn't this just how it was already anyway, just framed as a law rather than as guidance? Either way, I expect it to be observed and enforced about as rigorously as it has been so far

People seem to be behaving in a less cautious manner than they were before the tighter restrictions were brought in up here so I can see this going down like a wet fart. Amongst the ever diminishing number of people even trying to follow whatever the fuck the restrictions are anyway
