Not saying more cases is a problem or an issue however, it’s been argued to death this shouldn’t be the indicator on opening up or not. I’m just saying loads of kids will get tested who previously hadn’t been tested so the law of averages says this will increase the number of positive cases. I think the indicator has to be hospitalisations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjam Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 FWIW my our 17yo has to attend school on Monday at a certain time for a covid test (then return home) Depending on their year group they start back properly on Tues, Weds or Thurs. When he goes back on Thursday he has to have another covid test and assuming everything is okay is allowed to stay at school. All kids have to wear 2 masks at all times and have to take regular (forget the frequency) covid tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about 50% attendance currently at my daugter's primary school (she's at home). And that's even with the school supposedly having a policy that both parents (if there are two) have to be key workers for a place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normal class is over 20 children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully vax is making a difference but maybe the virus has burnt out a little? Down here in Spain we have had a pitiful role out of the vax and the death and infection rates have dropped dramatically nonetheless. I am covered by the Gib health service and had my 2nd jab today, I am not in a high risk category of any sort (apart from being over 60). I have now have a sort of credit card which states personal details as well the jab info. can't wait to have to show this to gain entrance into a Spanish establishment, i will be lucky if i only get to be asked politely to leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Happens Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Germany are changing their mind on the AZ vaccine and going to vaccinate over 65's. They are also going to follow the UK lead and widen the gap between jabs so they can vaccinate more people faster. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-56275342 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say its about 30-50% in primary schools and around 10-20% in secondary schools. It was lower in previous lockdowns. Parents have got lockdown exhaustion and are starting to worry about the negative aspects of children being off so long. As I walk round my local park I regularly see groups of teenagers hanging around, kicking a ball etc so hard to estimate how much impact going to school will have on their exposure to the virus. Most secondary school kids will be tested in schools initially and then be given tests to do at home, so won't be surprise to see positive test rates go up but that isn't in itself concerning.

Didn't we get told in no uncertain terms that the squabbling and continued debate has to stop? That, and agree with the moderators decisions or else. That kinda nuked any further discussion as one mans debate is another mans squabble. I'm just waiting to get my jab and for this season to end. I've gotten more and more detached from football since lockdowns gone on - looking forwards to next season and the atmosphere of live matches again.

I've hardly watched any football (ok, I've watched Derby a few times, but 'hardly watched any football' still stands). I'm a month in following my first shot, and since then we've been out for two walks. I'm hoping that mid-May will see us at the cricket, but I'm not exactly banking on it.

Its not a good sign when countries start blocking shipments which belong to other countries. It amazes me they can legally do it. Will be interesting to see if uptake of the AZ vaccine in France and Germany improves now, or is the damage already done. Maybe instead of Italy blocking shipments they should be talk to France and Germany and say if you dont want your stocks, we will have them. Surely Australia has a right to be upset, especially as they have been blocked in the name of the EU when stocks sit untouched in other EU countries because they dont want to use them.

Just had mine and it was infinitely more painful than the first. it was 2 days ago and I still feel like I have flu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
