We've had 2 players out of 12 with symptoms from Sunday, both waiting for test results. If either of them test positive 12 lads plus about 25 parents are at home for 2 weeks. One kid had a headache, the other a slight temperature.

It appears to be manifesting itself differently in young uns. Lots of kids showing cold symptoms and headaches then testing positive.

I must say, I find the lack of cases in London a bit mystifying.

I’m not having it that they’re behaving better than us down there.

Really strange

The thing that will close schools is staff shortages. 

 

We've got about 7/8 off atm who ate isolating or looking after kids who have been sent home. 

If the staff who were shielding need to shield again that number rise dramatically. that's what closed us last time.

I wouldnt have a clue about comings and goings, dont pay any attention to it, it's noise that alerts me, there's a party house behind mine, hot tub, bar in the back garden, screeching pissed up karaoke nights. 4 neighbours already reported them weeks sgo and me, you can do it online, nothing's happened to them, they were at it last night.

Come back and enjoy a drink courtesy of the neighbours.

Sounds like a plan, two man job. Man on over watch armed with an air rifle loaded with darts for the puncture. 
 

Stealthy man armed with snips to climb the fence and cut the speaker wires and squirt no ore ails into the wire ports to render them inoperable. Then steals the ale.

Head teacher in radio of a secondary school in brum. 15% of staff off with “symptoms”. Handful of kids off but massive disparity.  
 

read into that what you will

Didn’t someone snitch on Dominic Cummings? If it’s good enough for him...

Staff would be facing a disciplinary if they went in with symptoms or if one of their family have symptoms. Test results are taking longer to come back and teachers can't be tested themselves unless they have the symptom.

Testing needs to improve for essential workers

Haha. I wouldn't mind so much if the karaoke choices were OK. There's only so much "this is the rhythm of the night" sung in Lancashire accents by drunken middle aged wenches at 10pm on a Monday night,  I can take.

imagine what the numbers might be if we didn't have a backlog of 185K tests being sent abroad due to limited resources over here

Just had an email from school saying that someone is spreading rumours on social media that they are hiding cases and keeping open regardless, they know who is doing it because they mention that the only connection they have with the school is that they live on the same street as some pupils.

Whether it's just a fucking busybody or a Covid snitch I don't know but you'd think people and schools have enough shit to deal with without folk being dicks.

Honestly the amount going on in work atm is crazy.

We've had a bubble with a case and all affected kids have been contacted. Needless to say there will be some kids who are disgruntled that they can't have 2 weeks off and their mates do..

similarly this is from the MEN today

"At Spindle Point Primary in Kearsley, Bolton, only Year 4 children remain in school, with seven year groups, including a nursery, all now having to self-isolate. It's one of 20 schools where cases have been confirmed today."

 

Teachers will start dropping soon, it's been 2 weeks and we're all shattered, back to work full time after a huge gap, kids haven't had a routine for months, having to change the way we teach and work. Managed to cover about 24k steps yesterday.. I averaged about 10-12 before lockdown. Soon as people become worn out, they become suspect to bugs and viruses

Also there will be kids in school who are not showing symptoms, where adults are more than likely to.

Made of stronger stuff.

To be fair , we had the numbers back in March. London is based on travel, on commuting - the joke being everyone is always 40 minutes away from each other. Commuter numbers just aren't there. Borough's like mine is now one of the lowest, after being the top five across the country for the first month or so. Everyone on my street is working at home or on furlough. Next door are film and TV editors, Office manager after that, two retirees, couple who run a gymnastic classes. No one is going anywhere. The news today is that traffic in the suburbs of London is much higher. That donut effect I think is really effecting London and transmission rates. For the real picture I'd look at borough by borough to see what is happening. The full lockdown really helped us though, rather than the half arsed measures.

Newham, as one of the poorest and diverse boroughs, trailed the app - first in London. Wonder if this helped as well?
