Because the Kids spread it (allegedly). So keep them apart.
But that’s not what this is about is it? That’s virtually every parent that works. The whole reason schools were open was so the country didn’t grind to a halt and that the NHS could continue to have a work force.
I agree with you educationally they should be in. None of this is ideal.

Yeah just wondering how long that would take to achieve especially with cases so high the doc that runs the ZOE app tweeted he was getting a lot of reports of healthcare staff still testing pos after the jabs so it looks like it won’t be a quick fix.

For me it's the timeframe regardless of what he's a professor of .

I will now have to wait until I need milk or the like to go back to the shop, don’t want to get arrested for just getting my chocolate fix
Anyone else getting texts like this? I’ve had three letters (in NHS envelopes) and this is maybe the third or fourth text (I’ve deleted them so don’t know). Surely there is enough evidence with routine workplace testing, private tests and the NHS daily tests done without harassing people in to having home swab tests!

Do they know? That’s so awful. Thinking of you. Are you ok?

The majority of teachers and unions don't want to.
Regarding when people are called some couples in their 80s were called together but we had one chap who came with his wife she had been called not him even though he had serious heart problems . I went and talked to the organisers who said he could be checked in by and jabbed but I was not to allow anyone else they were to be told they would be called when it was their turn

Sturgeon said it was very unlikely anything would be lifted, if anything we're looking at more restrictions because they're reviewing things like click and collect services. Get a better idea tomorrow when she's in parliament.
Yes my thoughts are that if majority of people are mild or asymptomatic and thus wouldn’t have known or been tested then the real figures especially before mass testing surely the real number is much much higher than 2.5m cases. People don’t seem to be getting it over and over (and I have heard of more cases of people being less careful after because they assume they won’t get it twice) so I’m hopeful that by next winter we are much closer to some level of herd immunity coupled with those who have the vaccine.
Does anybody know if the vaccine will have an effect on the PCR test results? Especially the Oxford one which gives you part of the “dead” virus. I’ve read so much about the unreliability of the PCR tests as it is, false positives and low threshold for positive... I wonder if people who’ve had the vaccine will therefore test positive because the virus is detected? I keep getting NHS letters inviting me to take part in a covid study regardless of whether I have symptoms so they clearly are still testing people in the community regardless of symptoms and if they do this to people who have the vaccine, will the numbers be kept artificially high?

It’s there. I live 20mins away and have a friend who is working there.you know what the really sad thing is,
between the media, the “anti” crew and social media in general.
I've become someone who sees a report like this and questions if it’s true.
I never thought I’d be that cautious when it comes to reports like this when there’s no actual evidence it’s not true!!
the last year has done a number on us in so many ways
on a lighter note I do love a cheese single.

No deff not made up I got one before aswell to say about only one person allowed to shop no couples etcI have a nectar card and sainsburys credit card and didn't get an email. Saw it on our local Facebook page and thought it was made up because our Sainsburys constantly plays a message over the tannoys saying they won't challenge anyone not wearing a mask and don't expect other customers to challenge each other as not all disabilities are visible!
I try to avoid it as its always heaving in ours and people just don't back the fuck off!!

It’s hard as I want to agree but if everyone does this, it will cause some major problems! Most doctors surgery’s have sent out texts/ have prerecorded message saying not to call them about the vaccine and you will be contacted when it is your turn.
I think people need to be patient still, not all GPs are part of the roll out.
For example my husbands grandparents live together but have different GPS, she is 83 and he is 89. She has now had both Pfizer doses and he, no vaccine at all. Just have to wait it out sadly.
My apologies! I mis read it as not being reported at all. Sorry!

That’s what I thought too. I also believe if you contact 119? she can get an isolation letter for her employer which states she has to self isolate. But they’re adamant she can work with a negative covid test. Which seems stupid because I thought it can take a few days to test positive but the virus can still be spread?
