Labours Wes Streeting MP
on SkyNewsHD,

Says keeping kids in school
is needed, so he says Masks are needed.

But 2 tests a weeks is hard to achieve,
with lack of tests kits

Plus lateral flow tests are very unreliable even when trained people are doing the tests ... imagine how effective they are in the hands of teenagers who let’s say “ aren’t as careful “ as you would hope - many of whom do not take the Covid situation seriously

Why you should take Arista's daily stats numbers with a pinch of salt and not seriously.

the important number is those that are on ventilator and that number has been decreasing over time. If people go into hospital, get treated in non icu wards and leave within 2 or 3 days, its not a catastrophic situation

Yes but UK just like in the USA
Inside Politics now started on CNN HD
America has a massive amount of Essential workers
off sick, with Omicron Mild Covid Variant
Closing Flights down as well.

It is Correct, to take days off and not spread it more
but the International shortage in test kits
mean some workers are going back, still slightly ill,
and passing Covid on.(In the UK and the USA)

Alf they are not Mine
they are the UK Government official numbers
Anyone else doing this mega thread would do the same.
Each number posts,
has the UK Link


There is one other Link
showing the Whole World
with the USA at top and UK 2nd
with Cases.

Down the very bottom
is Small Island Nations
with no Covid,

So England
now Follows Wales and Scotland.
Teachers will not have to have a mask on, though.

But all children and youngsters
must have a Mask on in school.
In England.

Ch4HDnews
Stephen Barclay MP
Cabinet Minister said on the
26 of Jan it will be reviewed
in Parliament.

He said this rule was under Plan B rulings.



7,000 Lucky Schools will get Ventilation Units

I’ll give you peeps some feedback on what % of students abide by the new rules next week ..

Sadly this time we will have to threaten exclusions and follow through not just instruct them and do nothing ..

One of our most senior teachers ( head of subject) said before we broke up that he was probably leaving for a completely different job , far less money ... but he wouldn’t be a ‘sitting duck’ !!

Meaning it’s only a matter of time before he contracts the virus in school he’s 56 and rotund ..

Supposedly a survey done three weeks ago showed that those working in education are 37% more likely to catch Covid than the other professions - reported yesterday on LBC radio

[An unvaccinated couple with four children died
on the same day after contracting COVID-19.
Alvaro and Sylvia Fernandez, of Loma Linda in
Southern California, died within hours of each
other on 19 December, their family said.]

[Mr Fernandez, 44, was hesitant
about getting a COVID vaccination so had not
got his jab before developing symptoms
a few days before. His wife, 42, was also unvaccinated.]


[His sister, Alma Hernandez, told
Sky News affiliate NBC Los Angeles: "He wanted to wait
and do more research.
He googled information. He didn't want to believe
everything that was on the news.
"This is kind of an eye-opener for everybody
in my family that whoever is not vaccinated
definitely should have their vaccinations."

She added that her brother suffered
from underlying health problems, including diabetes.]
