I have every sympathy with people who feel isolated as shielders who may not want to go through that again. However, there are lots of people who where able to shield or self isolate at home in the first wave who are now expected to be at work in non-covid safe environments with little or no...

Signed.

Sounds a lot like my son. He doesn’t remember feeling particularly I’ll just under the weather for a few days then losing his sense of taste and smell. Luckily, that has returned completely now.

I used Testing for All. My reading was 0.07. You need over 1 to have antibodies. My son’s reading was 25.08. Quite a difference.

I did the antibody test a couple of weeks ago. Sadly, I was negative. My son however, was positive. We can pinpoint when he had Covid 19 as it was before lockdown. He lost his sense of taste and smell and that was before it was a symptom. One evening he was sitting next to me eating a roast...

Some masks do offer protection to the wearer. FFP2, FFP3 and N19. However, these are single use and are not recommended for more than 8 hours so would be expensive. Even after an O H report and having contacted my employer and Union the silence is deafening. I’m not sure where I stand now, a...

I reckon they were waiting for the England v Italy rugby game to finish.

Finally, I have seen my OH report (sent unencrypted). It does recommend several things but mainly a new personal risk assessment and asks if my request to wear a face mask to be accommodated at a ‘local level’ (given my LA updated guidance to primary schools on 12th October 2020 which I sent to...

Unable to sleep properly again. Emailed my Union early this morning. I quoted my local authority’s new guidance on face masks in the classroom. Hopefully, they will be able to do something for me.

I’m hoping that tomorrow I will be able to access the OH report. Depending on what that recommends, I will know what the next steps are that I’m going to take. If I’m not allowed to wear a mask I will definitely be contacting my Union. Especially given my LA have opened a pathway for wearing...

Oh, by the way, I did try phoning OH. They are all working from home! The switchboard is being manned by a person who advises you to email them as they are nothing to do with OH.

Could be a true situation. All I want to do is wear a face mask!

Emailed OH. Received an encrypted report with no means of opening it! More emails sent...

I’m with you Max. Still nothing from occupational health, even though they said I would have a report in 3 days (consultation on 20th October- last Wednesday). Due back to work on Monday. Already beginning to feel stressed.

Shocking and cruel. How do these people sleep at night?

I wish someone would tell me to wear a mask(in school) [emoji38]. I would have no problem being asked elsewhere.

I must admit, my family have been pretty supportive. Hubby is an essential worker (transport). His company has bought them the best PPE from the start. He has the option to work from home (he is a manager-the construction side of transport). If he does go to the office, which he does...

Thank you Max. I’m going to get on to them next week. I was giving OH a chance to reply but they haven’t yet. Maybe the Union can chase them too.

No. We have a lady who works in conjunction with our SENCO who helps children. However, she is not independent.

Thank you Max for doing digging on my behalf, much appreciated.
