Site Supporter only1swanny 149 Posted January 3 Site Supporter Share Posted January 3 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, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Grey 729 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 28 minutes ago, Escobarp said: 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? Agreed fella. The amount of kids/youths I see in groups around were I live is astonishing, I see it every day on my dog walks. Police just drive past. Everyone I know is doing the right things, then there's these kids in gangs and groups and it's now started pissing me off, why should I bother if nobody else is, shit attitude but that's how people are looking at this now, some don't give a fuck. Strict lockdown needed while we roll out these fucking vaccines, before we all go stir crazy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jol_BWFC 184 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 School near me will be closed and rightly so - cases currently over 1,100 per 100,000 here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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.

Site Supporter Tony 19 Posted January 4 Site Supporter Share Posted January 4 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.

Site Supporter Spider 2,115 Posted January 4 Site Supporter Share Posted January 4 (edited) 2 million doses a week with Oxford vacc. That should get all vulnerables done by mid February? Restrictions eased end of Jan, surely? Edited January 4 by Spider Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horwich 203 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Restrictions eased end of Jan, surely? 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?

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.

Restrictions eased end of Jan, surely? 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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm happy with a 4 week, balls out lockdown as long as it's the last one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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.

I'm guessing it's fancy as fuck, spread out over multiple floors, air conned up to the max and you've all got lovely office desk pod efforts, all nicely socially distant. Now imagine cramming 30 snotty little bastards in a room not much bigger than my living room. Replace said snotty little bastards with another 30 snotty little bastards every hour. All day. All week. Not really the same is it? I can see why Swanny is thinking, 'fuck that'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
