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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

What are teachers doing to take the piss?

As little as possible.

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.

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.

I discuss on a discussion board you just want people to agree with you or ban them.

It will never go away, you advocating this continual testing for how long, until Christmas, Easter, 2023, 2025, 90 percent of adults are vaccinated let the children have their lives back.

Went online to book at a test at 10:00, booked and completed by 13:00. I would be calling bullsh1t on some of you.

I have great sympathy for educators this year, not sure what can be expected of them in light of the guidance.

What part you calling bullsh1t, having to lie to get to the selection stage, or the unavailable of tests when you get past that stage? You saying you were a full 3 hours trying to get one?

Why would you be lying to get to selection page?

Try logging on as a close contact as advised by your school and get back to me.

you book a test if you have symptoms, if you don't then why would you book a test? close contact if that person has covid yes, not any other reason

To get back to school a close contact needs a negative PCR, .maybe try and read the posts before making stupid statements.

Then just lie, why do you care?

I am pointing out its a bullshit system not fit for purpose on a discussion thread about it, have I your permission to do that?

Maybe also log on and simulate booking a test for your 15 year old with only information from school they were a close contact and see where that gets you.
