We’re in deep shit

 

Aye, and it's going to get a whole lot worse over the next week or two. Hopefully we can get this vaccine rolled out quickly and efficiently, but I'm not holding my breath on that happening

Exactly that, it now time for consistent action across the UK, these Tier lockdowns are farcical and haven't worked. 

Allow people to take an inch some will take a mile. We really need to lockdown hard. Look after everyone financially as best we can and folk don’t leave the house. As much as mentally not being able to walk about will kill me it’s the only way I think?

September...

Teachers: Its not safe, cases are going up, can we see what Sage have said?

Government: fully open 

October

Teachers: loads of cases in schools struggling for staff and kids isolating. Can we see what Sage say

Government: no.. schools stay open 

December: we're at breaking point, teachers burnt out, off with stress etc

Government: schools stay open, everyone else stops.. kids are not a risk. 

Xmas..

Teachers. New variant, affects kids.. Sage have said schools are risky.. can we do something?

Government:schools stay open..

Two weeks later.. 

Stagger start, primary schools stay open..

Last week.

Teachers: cases up, schools are not safe, schools need to close. 

Government: primary schools stay open.

 

.. 

 

Basically they ignored every bit if advice, cases shot up in September when they reopened. Had they worked out some system to manage the amount of kids in, it wouldnt have gotten to this point, instead they ignored all advice. 

Can't blame teachers for being scared,

Mid to late November?

Half term was last week in October, graphs not the best to say exactly when they started to level off, but I'd imagine it had an effect..

2nd lockdown was that time too, but we weren't in lockdown all through the summer when it was low.

Great to see the  Oxford vaccine starting roll out this morning. 

We should close the schools for months, maybe a few weeks delay for Secondary schools. For the life of me I can't see why teachers aren't on the priority list for vaccination. 

I am sure we all know people who aren't behaving as they should, but it beggars belief that we have a life saving vaccination and some of the fuckers don't turn up for the appointment.

I work in an office with 400 staff. Everyday we get reports of how many people have symptoms/positive test/negative tests.

Are they closing the office - NO

Do I expect them to close the office - NO

Has anyone died - NO

People need to get a grip.

2 million doses a week with Oxford vacc.

That should get all vulnerables done by mid February?

Restrictions eased end of Jan, surely?

No, there are folk getting a kick out of everyones lives being messed up.

When do they reach that figure? - they're being very vague about when they'll get to producing 2M per week, and also, I'm not sure we've worked out how to actually administer 2M injections per week yet have we?

Not yet. And if you've got 400 people working in an office then it sounds like you've been very lucky. Perhaps much luckier than the people that these 400 staff have passed it on to.

Maybe certain restrictions, but I can't see much changing until after March and then it'll be very slowly. Hope I'm wrong, but all the experts are saying the more we rush back, the longer we'll have restrictions.

August/sept things might look a bit better?

Nah

If - and it's a big if with this lot - they can get 2 mill a week done, then there's no reason not to start lifting restrictions.

I'm happy with a 4 week, balls out lockdown as long as it's the last one.

Fucking hell. 400 people in a office? We have a max of 10 in ours occasionally 12 if we have student nurses. Have to wear a mask at all times (unless eating or drinking) and be 2 meters apart. Fucking hard work when your office is the size of a shoe box. Sure we have smallest office at Breightmet HC.
