There's been 1k under 50yr olds dead from covid in the Uk, 80% of whom had underlying disease. How many frontline MPS officers are there, how many of them are over 50 or have underlying conditions? They all have POE too. #KBF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people want normality 👍 Only know one teacher at my workplace who doesn't & that's for valid shielding reasons. The rest of us can't wait to be back amongst it. Don't think I could cope with another day of 'online teaching'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite sure what this bloke is trying to get at? Absolutely. Completely unhelpful. Seem to remember one officer going home from hospital after being on a ventilator and very poorly for some time. No doubt been a number with the virus, which will have reduced operational numbers, and could be a number with ongoing health problems.

Site Supporter MickyD Posted August 2, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted August 2, 2020 Listening to folk talking over the last couple of days it seems that many appear to be seeing this as a *Muslim issue. Government putting high-population Muslim areas in additional measures is definitely being seen as an Eid thing. (*As well as other communities where multi-generations live together) This may well be the case but I doubt there’s too much room for complacency.

I think the Govt have to think more about their messages. In the ‘hot spot’ of Bolton 15 new cases from 100000 people. So a fraction of a %. The messages imply certain groups this is higher so let’s assume they make up 10 of the above cases. This leaves 5 cases per 100k for the rest of us. Then we have been told that for the vast majority it is not a serious illness so say 20% get it serious we are at 1 in 100k getting a serious dose of this from a new infection. Add in for young healthy ones the risk is even lower you can see why they are thinking fuck it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came across him after someone I know retweeted his posts. I found one useful but reading some of the rest I’m like you need help. He’s a good example of what exists on both sides of the loony spectrum. Left and right.

Going off the conversations on here yesterday he’s potentially pointing towards Covid posing a very small risk to public sector workers Putting the potential refusal to work by Teachers into perspective Only guessing though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowack Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) Not sure I understand the teacher thing. I know a few teachers, ranging from head down to new recruit and they all want to be back teaching, and indeed were teaching online and face to face with kids who could attend. The reason they couldn't open fully was that the social distancing rules and government advice made it impossible. Is this not the case?

You've no doubt got the most militant ones kicking off but I'd imagine most would be happy to go back to work? We've managed so far and we're working with confirmed positive cases every day. Take precautions - stay sensible and your risk is pretty low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
