Which contradicts anti vaxxers who were wearing yellow stars. They need to get their stories straight. Or better still stop ludicrous and offensive comparisons to the victims of concentration camps.
The concentration camp leaflet comparing people having jabs like Jews going to gas chambers was bad enough but he’s also fairly obviously part of that shocking incident the other week
You’re ‘talking’ to someone who couldn’t even leave their home for exercise in the first lockdown.You pretty much could not get any harder in terms of lockdown than you can here right now.

Very lazy posting Grendel. Comparing someone who is rallying for violence to a poster on SBT questioning the vaccine as a solution to end the pandemic is the real whack take.

It’s a temporary situation that will soon pass, just hang in there.
That's a very specific set of words, but then you know that.
It is very underwhelming at stopping infection clearly.
What impresses me is the ability of people to keep defending its use when clearly there are some question marks. For young people, and for its purpose of getting life back to normal. Only to then u-turn on it when it's pointed out that it isn't the case.

On mask wearing in schools-the issue I have is disrupting education so much that yes people are physically in school but the experience is crap. The DfE wants teachers to keep delivering lessons simultaneously to people in the room and at home and talk about merging classes if too many teachers are off. It’s a farce of a system that for whatever effect it has on Covid transmission will still ruin the experience of school for most.
My view remains we need to go the opposite way. End isolation in schools and give children the normality and routine they need. Catching this will affect them the least out of all of us.
There is also the knock on issue if a child has to isolate.
My daughter got it in the holidays but if it was school time then she would need 10 days isolation, then it means somebody having time off work to look after her. All she had was a headache for 2 days.
Then you times that by how many other kids test positive with little to no symptoms and how many parents are also having time off from work to be there with them.
I think things are just happening too quickly. The next major jump is to manage isolation with minor / mild symptoms. It’s madness to do anything other than manage infection in schoolImagine if we did this isolation policy in a normal school year for outbreaks of flu, cold and norovirus. You’d have empty buildings some of the time. Children getting infections at school helps to build up their immunity more generally in any case.
The damage these rules and regs are causing will last for a long time. As said before but much more experienced colleagues than me haven’t seen mental health so poor among the children as it has been since 2020. Without exaggerating there’s a fair number even in the younger ones self harming or seriously thinking about it.
Really pisses me off that we’re going in the opposite direction.

I fucked up using a forum but the original post was a thread with studies showing masks in schools reduced the numbers of cases (and hence amount of isolation) significantly. That’s why I wanted BSBs input, which seems to be more that masks in schools make the in school experience crap. Whether that’s as important as reducing isolation probably depends if you’re a teacher/kid or a parent.
My broader point is the kids shouldn't have to isolate in the first place.
Thats fair too. Did we ever get to the bottom of the schools as vectors issue?
I guess I’m saying if that’s off the table, masks are a shinier turd than not.

YepChildren should only be absent if they're physically ill and under those circumstances they shouldn't be expected to log in to a badly microphoned lesson at school. The quality of education is so compromised with the rules as they will be there's almost little point having them in. With people masked up I struggle to hear answers and responses, can't judge the room as effectively and of course you're always having to keep reminding people to keep them on when they don't want to wear them.
If you're going to have schools open, let them offer a normal service. For children this really is like any other illness and in many cases easier than a cold or flu.
Felt OK yesterday , felt OK this morning , feel wank now again , making me anxious tbh
Well I have no idea if any of that is reputable but it's the question I've asked many times when all we have heard is about vaccine escape and reducing antibody levels .
Yeah he definitely deserves to be the focus of condemnation rather than those inciting violence and spreading dangerous misinformation about vaccines.I see the same old scare mongers are going
I’m about the scary new French strain. Dr ding and so on.
yet this has been around since November Chise has done a few posts on different studies of the strain.
Amazing how ding and so on are still allowed to spread fear.
2 deaths per million. FFS
Isolation is currently fucking the health & education systems more than covid + the tories put together.....
Somehow I can't see people in the UK giving up alcohol due to the negative impact it has on your immune system.Think we need a version of this played to the country over and over:

Some teacher union guy on 5 live saying masks should be mandatory in schools for “the next few years” to save teachers lives and from crippling long Covid
Was he being serious?
