@PaulCarneyArts If there was any logic to their plan to reopen schools they would have done this during half term. Why reopen with the exact same risks as last time with no obvious changes? Why not reduce the risk of school closures due to staff absence/sickness and vaccinate? Simple really. 🤔
@dgittin3 @em_lou_32 @SkyNews School staff - particularly teachers - are routinely demonised with their rightful concerns over safety labelled as ‘moaning’ or twisted into us saying we’re more superior than other key workers. We just want to be safe and for schools to be safe, as well as anyone else at risk.
@jmaine272@SkyNewsBreak The DfE advises against wearing masks (& thus doesn’t supply PPE) as it’s deemed detrimental to teaching & learning. Pupils will soon say they can’t hear or understand what you’re saying if you try to wear one &/or can become confrontational when facing a visual reminder of risk.
@MulheranMichael @fakeSteveRobrts@Danielleb0605@SkyNewsBreak and without that vital prolonged exposure. Anyone near another human in their work is at risk. The risk is far far greater when it goes from masked adults passing by (the majority of whom should know to distance anyway) to 1-2 hours in close proximity to unmasked children.

@Laura_rayner1 @SkyNewsBreak True! & why is it any school has needed to close due to staff shortages/illnesses/COVID contact? If the government truly felt schools where as important as they claim they would have prioritised vaccinating the people keeping them running to prevent a second home-learn lockdown.
Remember when the UK news covered the original COVID outbreak in Italy? It seemed otherworldly. We watched and our government didn’t use the opportunity to prepare or protect us. When did we get to a point where 500 deaths per day is ‘low enough’ to relieve a lockdown? Shambles.
@BBCNews Incredible. Another positive for so so many people out there. A new light of hope in an otherwise hopeless time, particularly for the extremely-vulnerable individuals going through this and their families.
@Roppa286@adambeattie1990 @Yorkshire_White @BBCNews (For clarity, choose or don’t choose to vaccine - who am I? I was simply highlighting that it isn’t a fair comparison to alcoholism. I think it’s disgusting for anyone to imply that ANYONE should be restricted from receiving medical intervention when needed).
@Roppa286@adambeattie1990 @Yorkshire_White @BBCNews Compare those two then if you would like to, not alcoholism. Don’t forget, it’s ‘normal’ to drink alcohol at least once in a persons life, especially with the drinking culture in the U.K. - for some that’s all that’s needed.
