My view is that they are just over complicating things way too much. Social distance everyone, if that means the capacity drops to a point where they are in 2 days a week rather than 5, so be it. Get a baseline that is sustainable and then take it from there after a suitable trial period

I hope your tests all come back negative Jessica. Also hope you're feeling better very soon too. |

As I've said before, I consider my own circumstances to be very lucky in that I can work entirely from home indefinitely. I know quite a lot of people who are struggling to make it work and are already under pressure from their employers. If I was still in my old job, we'd be ****ed. Also again you realistically have an age limit on social distancing and it's probably even older than the mask issue. Kids at 10+ you MIGHT be able to get to MOSTLY comply. Younger kids, it would be like herding cats. Just not realistically feasible to get them to do it. Impractical to work it that way at all for primary schools to be honest... and let's face it, even teenagers would be challenging. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 10-08-2020 at 10:08 AM. |

Also, his school is in an old building, narrow corridors etc, no way they will all be able to go back and social distance. I do have some sympathy for those trying to find a solution for this though, what are they supposed to do?

Just to add to that though - kids haven't had to socially distance from each other in public for months here and there have been zero indication that it's a problem so . Although, of course, that's outdoors so maybe that's where the difference lies. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 10-08-2020 at 10:24 AM. |

...but that’s it though, it’s not about safety, it’s about economy and that’s why it’s nonsense to talk about ‘sacrificing pubs or restaurants’ or whatever ...because risk assessments can’t be done in the way they can and are for other working environments...there is no long term thought either because how can they not imagine that the stress for school staff isn’t going to escalate to an extent that schools may not be able to operate anyway... |

I've been saying from the beginning that it's not a black and white matter of "economy vs safety". An economic collapse will kill more people than Covid. Shutting down the schools indefinitely will affect more lives than Covid and in ways we can't even predict yet, as well as having a drastic economic knock-on effect. These huge, sweeping social experiments are NOT safe AT ALL, it's an illusion, and one that people buy into because they understand the simplicities of "a virus being dangerous" but not the complex structures that are keeping us all alive day-to-day... the ones we take for granted and assume we can just pop aside for a while and not be flirting with catastrophe. Which brings me full circle to why we need to resume the necessities - medical and health services, schools, higher education, shops, general workplaces - and to mitigate SOME of that it would be sensible to accept that we can't have some of the indoor luxuries and leisure for a while - pubs & clubs, dining-in, cinemas, other leisure activities. We don't need them. People WANT them - there is a huge difference. There are countless alternatives. There is no realistic or reasonable alternative to kids being at school. I've been accused of this coming from a place of "what's best for me" but that's not the case at all either. I have no practical necessity for the kids being out of the house, I'm here anyway. I've gotten used to them being around, for ME I'd happily keep them here. I have a TONNE of various anxieties about them going back but the options are non-existent... education is one of the fundamental pillars of society. Up there with the absolute basics like food production and healthcare. It's that simple. |

completely agree, I think we are total underestimating how quickly young kids adapt, and as for Miss or Sir wearing a visor they would find it funny rather than scary

oh good luck Jess, that second test sounds horrific I would imagine a bit like when you have blood taken you end up with a huge bruise or no bruise depending on how skilled the person taking the blood is

...but no one ever expected an either/or though, TS...no one I know, did...and school staff..(...for the most part..)...want to be back doing what they love with full capacity schools...but it can’t be at the ‘sacrifice’ of safety...how is that okay and yet pubs/restaurants etc aren’t okay because they can’t offer that safety...I mean that’s just hugely flawed from the off and never, ever going to get the economy going again ...because no workplace through this has continued to operate with disregarding safety procedures that we all know are working...(..or so we’ve been told...)... |

Yes Cherie, I think it's different every time depending on who is taking your test and the anatomy of your nose. I've had one of those bad blood tests before too and it does seem similar.
