Well it’s inevitable it’s going to be impossible to administer in the middle of a crises. We have to hold the Oxford vaccine works and it’s that which holds the key
Removing nationalistic bollocks it probably is the best of the ones available. The question now is one of production capacity and time
What’s the alternative other then get volunteers - closing primary schools is unrealistic
Damn the leader of the opposition trying (and so far succeeding) to get his party elected to government.
(I don’t agree with him on schools, but in terms of the job he’s appointed to do you really can’t complain)
Yeah but under the circumstances it's clearly worth it. Saying that I'm holding my holiday back for the Euros.
It isn’t a system though is it? Leaving schools to function as medical centres and hoping they can work it out themselves. Secondary schools shouldn’t be open. As said many times the halfway house is unworkable and I still have no idea what I’m supposed to be doing next week
He’s let schools and education down massively. The one area where he would get universal support pretty much and he’s hung us out to dry.
He’s doing a good job of losing my vote but then if he persuades people like G will have succeeded in his aims
The further it is removed from Government clutches the more chance it has of succeeding.
Trouble is they tend to distance themselves from things they should be central to ‘whilst not being able to leave alone things they should leave to the experts.
They want to exploit the vaccine for political capital. If they had any brains they would see that actually backing off would give them a better chance to do so. The most they should do is relay updates to the public each week on the rollout
The one thing they actually got right was pre ordering shit loads of vaccine, now back off and leave it to the experts
For two weeks. I’ll take a couple of shift times off work or use the volunteer time we get given
Absolutely, leave well alone and in 6 months time if it’s deemed an overall success, the media will give them the credit anyway.
They’re complete inability to learn from their own mistakes is baffling.
I think even under David Cameron we’d have seen this done better.
They’d need to be. But it’s a significant undertaking to organise 2000 kids and teachers over 2 weeks. It’s a huge ask that needs significant oversight and logistic skills to run the team. Made harder by it being volunteers initially
Friend whose a head teacher has saved 100k painstakingly over a few years for new buildings and fixtures and he will now have to spend it on this. He’s so sad for the school community
And then it’s like a small business until the vaccine is available. It’s a big ask
Then I suppose they will complete the vaccinations too
They don’t test everyone who enters a supermarket, what makes a school any different or more capable?
I think even under David Cameron under anaesthetic, we’d have seen this done better.
And I’m no fan of Cameron.

I seem to remember getting a BCG vaccination at school as it goes.
Everyone punching the fuck out of peoples arms the next few days after.

And there's one reason why it's a better idea doing it in school than supermarkets.
All by yourself.
There are more Gs than BSBs in the British electorate. You win from the centre in any political environment and that gives you capital for policy. Policy before governance is only useful for virtue signalling and right now Labour need to signal towards the right, because their vote on the left is tapped out and geographically clustered.
I know the demographics well enough. Just education being used as collateral damage pisses me off and makes me not want to vote for anyone. With Gen Z looking more conservative millennials are getting fucked from both directions
Just had plans through for next few weeks. Exam groups doing mocks as planned, week commencing 11th I am required to be in school so I can teach everyone remotely-makes sense. School has not received tests yet and has not been told how many they’re getting.
