Im not twisting it. I questioned why the macdonalds were full of parents who can't afford to feed their kids. I agree with the last part but not the hysteria before it

Can we stop bashing people on benefits please? There are more people on benefits now than ever before thanks to Covid. If people want to buy their children McDonalds, so what? That’s their choice and you don’t know every family’s circumstances. At least the children are being fed!

You can have an opinion but no one said it has to be the right one. Everyone has differing views but its the way your tone is in your replies that is the getting alot of backlash. You are claiming you are right because you've seen it, well I've seen the opposite. I've seen people on furlough living life to the max, going on cheap holidays while on 80% pay having an absolute field day then kicking off when their companies want them back to work claiming its too unsafe in the office. Bare in mind, a few had just come back from Greece at the time of 2 week isolation. Do I think all on furlough were living large and having the time of their lives? No. We are a population of billions and we CANNOT generalise a whole body of people. You do come across ignorant and uneducated if youre basing your opinion of only 'people you know' - you can expand your mind beyond this and realise the importance of ANY food for starving child is FOOD. You can buy a huge oven baked pizza for £1 in many supermarkets, people who are strapped for cash will clearly go for this rather than buying tons of 'healthier options' which usually come with a healthier price tag. Get off your high horse.

What has this got to do with anything?
It isn't the fault of people who receive free school meal vouchers that covid happened and other people had their income reduced??
No one here understands why you are even ranting about this in the first place?? You're jumping from your friends being abused by people on benefits, to mcdonalds being rammed full of kids apparently because their parents can't afford to feed them and then how you feel so much better about yourself for working rather than needing benefits? Like what?
You brought this up from nowhere on a covid thread.

Waiting for my lunch to cook and scrolling through Instagram, I’m really pee’d of and annoyed at all these ’influencers’ either on holiday or ignoring lockdown rules. These people sadly are role models for many young people, it’s no wonder lots of others are breaking rules. I’ve unfollowed a lot of people today

Are people with lower income not allowed to treat themselves to a McDonald’s if they want?

It should be 2 weeks isolation after contact with a positive case so if the contact was Monday then it’s 2 weeks from Monday

Imagine begrudging a child living in poverty a McDonalds Happy Meal. It costs £2.99 ffs, hardly breaking the bank is it?

I’m just amazed they’re £2.99 now!! “In my day” they were £1.99!

I agree with this though. It’s good that you can reduce quarantine if you wanted to get around it, if you really wanted to see family abroad this would be worth it. Travel is unnecessary though so I think it’s fair the tests are private.
Hold the page. How is this a good idea?
I thought that the virus could incubate for up to 14 days and that was why, despite a negative test, one would still have to quarantine for 14 days.

5 days plus a test, still won’t pick up those who are positive from day 6? Doesn’t make sense to me.

Well the school aren't doing that. Is there somewhere we can report them? I know that sounds really petty but I'm absolutely sick to death of taking my kids to school and feeling like I'm dumping them in a lions cage all day. The head has said it's not if the rest of the year group get cases now but when.

Lost someone this week, not “due to covid” or “with” covid or “had covid” in the last 86 days.

but I do wonder how much of 2020 contributed to his death, he lost his spark during lockdown, contact with his grandchildren and family, and as we’ve all said before, how many others will die in the months and years to come that has fuck all to do with the actual virus

I’m sorry for your loss

I would perhaps phone PHE as your first port of call, from what you have said, they’re not following correct procedures. My son is off school at the moment due to a positive case in his bubble and I have to say I’m relieved he’s not in school though obviously hoping he hasn’t picked anything up this time. It’s such a worrying time x

Just taken the dog out for a walk In the woods.... there was a group of about 40 people they looked like they were filming something. No make or social distancing. I understand the rules are slightly different if it’s classed as “work” but boiled my piss alittle....
 
It does seem the advice, or how schools handle it has changed. In September we would get an email of a positive case and was told the whole year group was to stay home for 14 days. As time has gone on the emails have changed, and they now say that there has been a case and that child will be isolating, and anybody in close contact has been notified and will also have to isolate. I'm taking that as children sat directly in front or to the side of them
No more are they sending whole year groups, or even classes home. Sort of defeats the object of bubbles in my opinion, that said I was getting 2 emails a week at one point, and now its maybe one email fortnightly, so I can only assume the rate is slowing in schools - or at least in our area anyway.

All schools are handling the spread differently. The senior school my son attends they're making kids sanitise hands before entering a class, then they have to wipe the table down with spray before they leave.
At my daughters college they don't do that but have a rota system where Year 1s go in one week and Year 2s home learn, then they swap the next week.
Touch wood it seems to have worked... so far!
