No 5G in Israel to program Covid nanites remotely?

Nice twist. 5G protects you against Covid nanites (is it a coincidence that nanite and nineteen sound the same? I think not.). That explains why the levels are so low in my town.

Lions if healthy and fit and not being threatened don't chase people. Lions actively avoid humans. I've walked unarmed in lion territory loads of times, and bumped into prides, and never once been in danger. Lions chase 'food'; act as food and they will respond, act as a human and they will avoid you.

Maybe Jayn200 wants to act like food

I would be surprised if anything wanted to eat you!

Then go and get chased by lions and report back.

PPE is still in short supply

And parents at home won’t be protected by children exchanging virus in school

Cases doubled in just one month, and that in hot summer when lots of people outside and schools are closed

Teachers should be offered PPE. In some schools, where that may be disconcerting for the students, it should be up to the teachers' discretion and evaluation of the risk. Older students, who are able to, should also wear masks at the very least while in class..

^ This.
Its the easiest way to reopen schools. Teachers should be protected from this virus by using PPE . Children are not affected as much as adults.

They failed the key workers children as well, no tuition.

Yep just a baby sitting service.

[vetran]

If many of the schools had not treated it as a big holiday for the teachers and failed none key worker children so poorly I would have had some sympathy for them, but they did and I don't.

This is the problem in the western world right here. Who cares if it's disconcerting. Children need to not be babied so much and learn to deal with conflict and not just avoid it constantly. Dont put teachers at risk because it could cause a few kids anxiety.

For ****s sake we use to get chased by ******* lions.

Yeah, all those kids with special needs - who cares about them anyway.

Israel reopened their schools, and there was a big uptick in cases. The US is finding the same. However several European countries have not found any increase - Switzerland, Netherlands...

Maybe they're taking more precautions than the UK:

Coronavirus: In vielen Kantonen mussen Schuler Masken tragen

Corona-Einschrankungen: Niederlandische Grundschulen und Friseure wieder geoffnet

Coronavirus: Little evidence of Covid transmission in schools, says Williamson - BBC News

"[..] government was being guided by the best science [..]"

I think we've heard that before, many times this year

Schooling needs to continue. Too many children will fall behind if schools don't reopen.
