Jean-Michel Blanquer, the education minister, said: “This indicates that barrier measures are working and rules are being followed.” Wtf 2000 schools were shut? "The official figures group schools and universities together, but doctors are demanding a separate tally for universities. They argue that students are more likely to transmit the virus than schoolchildren and the start of the university term has increased the risk. Patrick Goldstein, head of emergencies at Lille Teaching Hospital, said: “We know children aren’t highly contagious but students are vectors of contamination like any other adults.”" Again, their figures are fucked because they pile schools and unis together, but they seem to be suggesting it's unis more than schools to blame. f**k knows tbh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If test and trace can specify empties as a major vector, surely its not beyond them to notice a pattern in schools? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwullie Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I mean, I don't particularly mind one way or another if the schools are shut. I'd quite happily keep the boys at home and muck about with them all day. But there seems to be a lot of talk that it's lies that schools aren't spreading infection as much, but with all the data gathering going on, surely it would stick out like a sore thumb, beyond people on a website saying it's fact 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teachers are very much front line right now, plenty of examples thrown about in the media so we certainly all know about it. A teacher at Bellshill Academy the latest. Had an interview there about 12 years ago. COULD HAVE BEEN ME 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Not sure about that. I was due to fly from Inverness to Munich via Amsterdam next week, and stopping at Schiphol for a couple of hours was enough to put me in quarantine when I got back.There’s a difference between an airport layover where you’ll be mingling with people and driving a car through a country. It’s absolutely the case that if you drive through a quarantine-list country without stopping, you don’t have to quarantine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itzdrk Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 7 hours ago, Squirrelhumper said: Sturgeon's tone has been shocking for weeks. She's got zero willingness to address the huge elephant in the room, which is schools being open and instead just blames every other aspect of society. Opening schools was a political decision, they said they would be safe but anyone who has family/friends who work in schools know this is a nonsense. Wish they would just admit the huge surge in cases is due to the schools/uni's being open and for once be honest. all this circuit breaker nonsense will do more harm than good, as you'll see it end just as furlough ends and plenty of businesses will not open back up. She's spent all summer telling folk to book staycations and is now about to ban them just as the October holidays start. Talk about shafting tourism here. All these hints were given today minutes after she announced ZERO deaths in the last 24hrs. I'd love to see their plan for the next years for economic recovery as I'd stick money on them not even being able to write it on a fag packet. And I say all this as an SNP voter for the last decade. Spot on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 For all the professional front put on by sturgeon and the snp. Well just her really tbh. It’s all built on a house of cards. Any political party would be caught out by this but this schools fairy story is bs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 For all that Sturgeon has won popularity in this pandemic for being a lot more open with the public than the UK government, the Scottish response has been just as bad if not worse. How on earth is covid as prevalent in Scotland as the rest of the UK now when they had cases so low in July? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
