China Coronavirus

[TMAC]

We really need to stop testing. It's pointless at this stage.

People generally have Covid for a few days before symptoms first appear. That's also when they're at their most contagious. That's why testing is vital to protect people. Anyone who doesn't understand that at this stage is displaying complete ignorance.

We have the vaccine. We cannot advocate testing and isolation forever.

No one cares about the youth, their mental wellbeing or the long-term effects of missing education, friends and having a normal life, our politicians and unions and scare mongers on boards like this have a lot to answer for.

Do you not think the folk on here and the people making these decisions do not have children, grand children, neices, nephews etc and they're doing this for the craic?

PS: and you're a reincarnation of who TMAC?

I think Unions, teachers, GP's and politicians are taking the piss, the whole close contacts at school is a shit show, why not go for another full lockdown sure most are at home isolating or looking after those isolating, answer me this why did everyone get vaccinated?

Everyone didn't get vaccinated.

[TMAC]

Tongue in cheek, fact is everyone won't, to end this shit show stop close contacts bring on boosters for the wet blankets let everyone else live.

[the goal was on]

Executive needs to grow a set and tell schools pupils can return after negative test. They can't on one hand lift all restrictions and then on the other subject families and children to 10 day isolations need on end. Shambles and unsustainable . Schools wanting help from PHA but yet won't follow there guidance . Has to end tomorrow.  For once the DUP are right!!

A lot depends on how the NHS is coping. People on here don't understand how the nhs works. If people are admitted with acute illness and need immediate emergency care they get it. If the numbers get very high that means all nhs staff are moved to help with covid patients. That means people with other illnesses like cancer who don't need immediate emergency care get pushed back weeks or even months. That situation will/already has cost lots of lives. This illness is very dangerous even for young people and its long term effects on people isn't yet known. At the moment it's almost there will be another lockdown and it'll be in the next 5 or 6 weeks.

There will never be another lockdown as much as doom merchants like you want it.

What are teachers doing to take the piss?

As little as possible.

lol, you can shout and stamp your feet as much as you want. It's almost certain we'll get another lockdown. The numbers are crazy and there's guaranteed to be a percentage who get very sick and need icu treatment. Once we near breaking point the only solution guaranteed to work is a lockdown. I'm not a gloom and doom merchant, just a realist. I hate lockdowns also but they have been proven to work.

What do you mean? Aren't they all back teaching full time?

Are there many working from home like many other industries?

They all back yip correct! Those who are are scant in the work for the students forced to stay home, most others are forced to stay at home to childminders.

Work for whom? Again why did the majority get vaccinated?

[TMAC]

Are they f**k doing their jobs as normal, I assume you or the partner is a teacher, a most protected species the public sector worker huge backing of powerful unions and can do as little as they want without fear of reproach.

[TMAC]

GP's also taking the piss, but they can so its OK.

So they're in their classrooms doing nothing? The vast majority of kids are in the schools at any one time. Are they not being taught as normal?

In the wee six the vast majority are at home so no they are not being taught as normal, so are you a teacher or one of your family or are you embarrassed to say?

They worked for everyone by getting the numbers down so that the nhs could manage. If the nhs is overwhelmed then even routine injuries, illnesses or minor surgeries could cost lives. Can you not see that. Lockdowns are a necessary evil. The majority got vaccinated to protect themselves against serious illness and they're working really well so far. A small percentage of people will still get sick but a small percentage of a very large number is still a significant number of people.

They worked for everyone!! Tell that to those who committed suicide, lost their jobs, suffered at the hands of abusers, have had serious mental health issues, were totally isolated from the world, felt worthless, lost relationships but hey you really don't care do you.
