It may not seem complex to you, and I'm all for being adaptable and have been all the way through this pandemic, the only thing that's feasible is closing them down until these vaccinations are rolled out, then we are in to CAG territory again, and would you trust our Education Minister with that again. Personally I would give vaccinations to the young/teenagers after the 80+ year olds, these are the spreaders. No suggestion of changing curriculums or lesson plans just the days Theyre in less holidays gives more teaching time You must have voted remain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would save two weeks of pain now of having some kids in school and some at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ani Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 AZ say we will get 2m vaccines a week by Mid Jan So in those 12 weeks we can vaccinate 24m people. Then we will need to do a phase of second injections. Surely it is possible to model a point where we can say a given % are now immune or at least safe and then we then we reopen stuff. A factor in who gets the vaccine as well as age and health should be risk based on type of work so teachers and people who can not work outdoors or at home move up the list. Means I would move down but seems like that is fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WFH types still go shopping, doing the school run etc. And if a WFH parent lives with a non-WFH parent, then you've got another spreading potential.

It does; suppose other viral infections can have similar though. Certainly get another test in a few days. Just now, boltondiver said: Thinking about it, after foot soldiers, why not kids Certainly has merits. That said, there are numerous other groups who lay claim. Tough old job for the jcvi but they seem clued up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those asympomatic ones sacrifice some accuracy for speed so they're not as accurate.

If lesson plans came in one-week blocks, how difficult would it be to number all the weeks in school 1 to 36 and all the hols H1 to H16? All school years run from 1 to 36 and you put the holidays in anywhere you want. That’d need absolutely zero changing for holiday moves. It wouldn’t matter if you decided on 1 2 3 4 5 H1 H2 6 7 8 or 1 2 3 4 H1 H2 5 6 7 8 What’s the difficulty a school may have with being asked to be flexible?
