Children mixing with each other are seemingly the least at risk but now they have been freed up to spread it round the population to those who might actually be vulnerable. They are not going to remain indoors for the duration of school hours. Parents (if they are around) struggle to keep children occupied for 6 minutes let alone 6 months. It looks madness.

I think the amount of teachers and support staff that are now self-isolating has meant that it is impractical to open schools.

if you keep schools open more kids get infected to spread it about though

Think Petraco could be right or will be in any case, i think they should have shut the schools ages ago,

So could we possibly guess who the teachers might have caught the virus from?
Surely it would have been better left to individual schools to make a judgement as whether they had the capacity to stay open? |

By:
Why DD? schools were only kept open to "protect" the economy,it is only a few days after the herd immunity path where they were happy to let everyone have a dose.

Schools shut till .. err .. the summer holidays
 In all my schooldays I think there was one day when the school was shut (flood due to burst pipe) and what a day for celebration that was. All self-respecting kids will be infecting for all they're worth - might be able to bunk off for the whole year at this rate |

Teachers exhausted.

Maybe they realised that sacrificing teachers wasn't the best strategy....
Will be a harsh lesson in the reality of having children for some of these households where both parents work and expect teachers to bring up their feral children. |

A classic case of damned if you do, damned if you don't. Whatever they decide some fool will be hollering insane questions at em in seconds. Never seen so many pathetic people in my life.

At least with gangs of bored teenagers roaming the streets the OAPs might finally stay at home and self-isolate.

Pubs and restaurants will be shutdown inside 5 days. Trust me on that one.
Then the sh1t will hit the fan on the island. Any supplies required from Europe, get to the back of the queue. |

You've only to look at the bilge on here mafeking. I daren't put the TV on, hysteria and endless ridiculous questions 16 hours a day.
|

By:
The hysteria over 100 odd deaths, what are they going to be like if it goes into the thousands. Media cause the mass panic, the whole thing will be gone by the summer.
|
|
By:
The logic is pandering to the hysterical. Read comments to any Daily Mail article and you will see that they all think they are going to die unless everyone is cocooned in cotton wool for the next six months.
|

By:
Classic response to media hysterics, the politicians get bullied into responding by being seen to do something to placate public opinion. The govt was right but the media mob need to be put in their place.

shows you much the worlds changed regards higher education etc ,in my day 70% of 15 yr olds would be going straight into the work place ,so in theory from today 40 years ago we,d have tens of 1000,s of new workers in the market place ,but despite hours of chit chat about school closures never heard it mentioned,
try and sign on early guys n girls |

I work in a school. We have doubled up classes as teachers have self isolated (not bunking off as they are some of the hardest working people I know) Some children are off at parent request. You then have to teach a lesson and after send work home electronically to those who are off. From Monday, we can send all the work home and teach remotely using Google Classroom and run a 'normal' timetable. I slightly feel like cannon fodder surrounded by snotty children all sneezing and coughing but hey ho!
|
|
By:
Yep you will be just a matter of time,thank god they're off
|

Would love it if the kids got their homework sent to them every week, i suspect they were thinking the summer holidays had started early. Maybe they can still sit their exams, worry about the sick people and help them.

There won't be any exams this year..

Ibrahima Sonko, saying this from the bottom of my heart,i am accused of being "hysterical" in this and other threads.
I like many others believe the numbers are way higher, i believe the numbers are massaged as being now in the category of "suspected" rather than confirmed to hide panic. i believe the dire warnings of the other world leaders ofthe effects of this. I will gladly take any amount of ridicule if i am wrong, my consciense won't allow me not to put this post up,social distancing IS. |

10k is not an unusual number for flu deaths. It varies. Pneumonia killed 28k a few years ago.
Let’s not forget 650k+ people die in our nation every year. There is ZERO perspective in the information we’re fed. Every death is reported as if it’s a unique event for someone to lose their life. |

2 years ago in the States, 45m people had flu. 61k deaths. A rate of 0.13 %.

at least us labour members are people who are honest unlike the creeps who pretend to know something about political parties and comment endlessly but never having been a member
either join or put up the leadership however, I would leave at your house to debate a vacuum |

Lol - these are the jokes folks. Yes, cramming the extra children all in one room with one teacher, which by the way way, would not bother me,because I could teach a class of 40 if I had to in extreme circumstances..but in these times, I am glad to teach remotely. |
