Colour blind was a good tune not sure he had other hits.

[It's inconceivable to me at least that we would react in the same way against a similar threat in the future. Hopefully lessons have been learned.]

If you want to get the booster get it, if you don't that's fine also. It's a personal choice that no-one should be penalised for.
Thankfully we now have plenty of data to review so we can make informed decisions. It's inconceivable to me at least that we would react in the same way against a similar threat in the future. Hopefully lessons have been learned.

Even if we find ourselves where we were in March/April 2020?

Novel virus, about which we know little in terms of transmission, except that it is highly contagious; hospitals and their staff overwhelmed to breaking point; people dying; little known in terms of how to treat, never mind cure it; no vaccine; massive PPE shortages?

A lot more folks lives were destroyed because of the draconian measures taken, governments lost the run of themselves.

Assuming, purely for the sake of argument, that what you say is true, how should it have been handled?

There is an inquiry in UK to answer that https://covid19.public-inquiry.uk

That's a (messed up) link to an inquiry which is just getting up and running. I'm assuming they're keeping an open mind and will conduct a professional and informed investigation and make appropriate recommendations.

Given your virulent claims however, I assumed you yourself had some ideas about how things should have been handled given the state of affairs at the time?

I'm beginning to see how this works, do you think it was all handled correctly given the state of affairs at the time?

They bowed to scaremongering from everyone with a medical background peddling their crap on every TV and Radio station in the land, mainstream media fanning the flames of an apocalyptic world unless we were all locked up.

Would that be in the official guidelines, I am sure the union rep would be by their side in a heartbeat.

He knows no other way all bullshit and bluster.

I don't understand this. What age are you? What are you afraid of? Previous vaccines have been over-rated/over-stated as to immunity. Do you really believe them this time as to its efficiency? Do you really want a substance put into your system that creates an eightfold increase in Antibody levels? Does something as artificial as that seem strange for a disease that you have a 99%+ chance of surviving.

why do you care so much?

Why do you care that he cares?

On the inspections is it not undermined when schools get notice?

When will National league fixtures be announced,  I'm trying to book  a break for next spring?

I think they were released around December last year.

So just makey uppy stuff  then, that the best you can do Jim, try and belittle, bless I am not one of the kids it seriously won't bother me.

That's a fairly dismissive attitude from someone who expects his anecdotal tale about his son's third year History teacher to be believed.

Here's the thing, if you don't believe it don't, I believe Jim is talking through his hoop.

Keep going you will be at 30000 in no time.

Parents are the main educators of children.

Full stop.

The parents of the kids with the up the ra T-shirts have done sterling work so far

Depends on what their parents' outlook on the Ra is I suppose?

I'd compare that with children (and parents of course) who wear poppies in November.  They are supporting the terrorists of the BA/RUC and their loyalist colleagues.

That's what a poppy symnolies.

Why are you always comparing with 'them' when it's not part of the conversation? It doesn't add to the discussion.

And you do!!!!! Seriously step away.

You've 50 posts, 45 of them are about teachers being bad, wise up

You have near 30000, over half insulting folk - maybe you should wise up!

Is a lot of the ill will towards teachers here based on how board members had to school their own kids during the Pandemic and have a touch of PTSD as a result?

Perhaps not even "school" but just "look after".
Dare I say.

Ah that old chestnut that parents were looking for babysitters. Another thing dreamt up by teachers to justify not going to work. They let everyone down and threatened to go strike while everyone else that was needed went out and got stuck in and went to work.

Everyone else didn't. Some . 'Key' workers dropped their kids off at school during the lockdown and went about pursuing their hobbies.

Stats there Jim or did you meet one on hiking up the mournes when you were meant to be remote teaching?
