TheTeapot Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Heh. https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/233018/cells-from-common-colds-cross-protect-against/ Pointing out that this virus is just like some we already live with and that this one will be just they same once everyone has some immunity against it is often met with total disdain. Pointing out it is likely that recent infection with another betacoronavirus would provide you with protection from this one gets you called 'anti-science'. Pointing out that we should learn lessons from history is met with 'there is no proof, its only a theory'. Point out that the last proper coronavirus pandemic still has consequences today and it blows their minds.

We need to get out of the pandemic mentality and start having an endemic approach. Because that's what it is now. The transition to endemicity is a little way off yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six pupils and teachers only two were in masks. It probably shows how concerned people are about the risks regardless of how much stirring Tim Glover is attempting to do about mask wearing in schools. The extra-curricular activity was, "Viruses and how to help spread them" 😁 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any actual real world studies on the benefits of children wearing face coverings in the school environment? With Glover harping on all the time It's become a bit like the issue with uniform at Ballakermeen earlier this year where they were sending children home for having the wrong shade of colour of shoe. It's partly down to teachers not having experience in the real world and letting the rules overtake the reason kids are supposed to be at school.

Here you go https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/evidence-summary-covid-19-children-young-people-and-education-settings and a news article about the same https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-59895934 To force something on a group of people 'for their own good' needs clear evidence of the benefits outweighing the harms. That report does not do that, and in the trials they reckon that mask wearing might have contributed to a 0.6% reduction in absence. Woopty fucking doo. They make learning harder though, there's clearer evidence of that in that report. Edited January 10, 2022 by TheTeapot 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup 300 notes only after you've been off for 4 days, from the people that brought you 70% furlough when even the uk paid 80. And started it on the 10th of january. Absolute windfall. There would have been thousands per day had jeeves not cottoned on to it in time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
