We've fucked up again, haven't we? We have literally killed 10s of thousands of people and hit the economy by billions more because of this government's serial incompetence. Anyone with a GCSE in maths could see where this was heading. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ewerk 6,203 Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 So between construction, manufacturing and education you have just under 15,000,000 who are being told to go about their 9-5 as normal and mix with all the usual people but after that they definitely mustn’t see anyone outside their household. I can understand education continuing but either have a lockdown or don’t. The first lockdown worked because it was simple to understand. Once you begin to dilute the message it loses its effect. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

His dad is a teacher so he’ll be off too and can do the job at home (Plus, my kid is weird. He’s 11 and it’s like living with a more sensible adult) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Renton 2,084 Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 I think there's a good argument for secondary or upper secondary to be locked down. The upper range of these kids should be able to self educate via videoconferencing. Allow their parents to continue working from home. Not possible with primary school kids though. But also primary kids really don't seem to catch it or spread it in the same way. I'm in a 3 tier school and so far no cases in primary or middle, but some in secondary/6th form. University students need to gradually withdraw to home and stay there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
