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

Id happily have the next two weeks off and work two extra weeks on the summer if the government decide they want that.

It would save two weeks of pain now of having some kids in school and some at home.

Point I made the other day about surfaces. Only need to touch something previously contaminated (made a couple of days even) and bingo.

Must be really difficult to completely cleanse everywhere continuously.

Shit. Hope your ok? I honestly thought my test this week was going to be positive. Awful cough from nowhere and lost my sense of smell. Came back negative but still feel like shit.

I would get tested again, that sounds nailed on Rona!

I've told work and they haven't suggested to have another. I feel like I'm taking the piss enough when it's probably just a cold. 

Rudy and Blondie were “sorting some shoes out” a few days ago

Now they both mysteriously have Rona and/or symptoms.

@ZicoKelly time to get your running gear and spy goggles on

So do we then move all parents of school age kids higher up the vax list? Given they'll have a higher chance of catching it.

Thinking about it, after foot soldiers, why not kids

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.

Why?

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.

Certainly has merits. That said, there are numerous other groups who lay claim.

Tough old job for the jcvi but they seem clued up.

You've got the symptoms then so you should be off until you've had one of the proper tests from work.

Those asympomatic ones sacrifice some accuracy for speed so they're not as accurate. Ring HR and they'll book you in on the carpark near Churchill Unit 👍

Flatmate tested positive today. That's me self isolating till the 12th now after spending nye in the same room. He noticed loss of taste on nyd and when it didnt go with his hangover yesterday he got a test. I'm feeling OK at the moment

I agree with you 100%. I was being facetious pal

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?

Yeah you’re right. It was my laptop and some files. Not best pleased because our Maude is preggers that’s the reason I’m WFH.
