I've had flu jab for past 10years and never had a problem.

So sorry you are facing such a dilemma. I have seen a few topical programmes today and naturally the talk is of the safety of schools opening. Of course schools need to be open,and I do hope they are right about it being safe for childeren. What was interesting was that when people have raised...

It applies,the government just chooses not to focus on it.

Interesting listening to Independent Sage. I'm sure there are some who will have issues with them but I find them very considered with a distinct lack of three word slogans. Today was mainly about the reopening of Universities. Very similar predicament to schools. Yes deaths are down but new...

Yes maybe it's all just coincidence. Maybe no news is good news. Time will tell. Yes I have a reminder set for 1.30 [emoji4]

It's very strange at the moment. I have given up following news closely on a daily basis just checking in on few trustworthy sources. I have noticed on Covid reporting app that for the past two or three days no record of new reported cases etc. When I checked gov.uk earlier in the week it...

I remember when the government asked for retired nurses and medical workers to come out of retirement and help. At the time it had been identified that anyone in receipt of flu jab was at risk. I dont know what the average retirement age of these people is,but I do remember thinking that it...

I appreciate your point. Indeed school for some is a horrible experience and some flourish through alternatives. Although childeren and young people physically appear to suffer less from the affects of the virus(as far as we know)the social and psychological impact is worrying and at times...

I think all childeren need to mix with their peers. For many childeren school is an escape from abuse and or social deprivation. I know schools were open during lockdown for vulnerable childeren,but the ones officially known to social services are not all that are vulnerable. Some childeren...

Interesting section on ITV 1.00pm news about shielders returning to work. Apparently 12 charities approached Government saying need for furlough scheme to be extended and or adapted. Matt Hancock interviewed and said perfectly safe if work environment covid safe[emoji849]. What did follow was...

Totally sympathise. Either way is a gamble whether its health or financial stability. My savings will last until spring if I'm frugal. I suppose I initially wasnt happy but then I told myself this was the proverbial rainy day anyone who is lucky enough to have savings talks about. What happens...

If you are mad then so am I! In all seriousness everyone seems to view this virus differently according to their individual circumstances. If I was in my 30s,slim and with no underlying health conditions and drove to work in a covid safe office I would pay attention to rules but probably view...

I work in care so slightly different. Mine would involve social distancing,alternative roles if that not possible or working from home. Only thing I can suggest is checking gov.uk site for guidelines on covid safe workplace and social distancing to see if theres anything havent thought of. The...

With regard to travel to work my Union told me that employers can access a fund to help vulnerable employees get to work. I dont know where from,money allocated by local councils maybe? I'm not sure how it would work. In my case I would have taken four buses on a work day. Maybe a shorter taxi...

I think it will take a lot of persuading for people to return to big city centres for work. Certainly if this goes on indefinitely an idea I've seen and would be happy with is to return to option of retiring at 60 for men and women. It would be good if down to individual choice but I would be up...

I must admit your description of public or communal toilets did make me smile as reminded me of last shift I did at work. We did have paper towels but negotiating everything else from taps to doors would have been very entertaining to anyone watching. They do use a computer system which staff...

Indeed. So much revolves around schools being open from breakfast clubs to after school clubs with many part time jobs working around these hours. There is also the vital social work role that schools play offering respite from difficult home environments to being aware of safeguarding issues...

I think this is a very good example of two issues. Firstly how some work places are very covid safe. I also think the reminder of the risk of communal surfaces is also something that also always chills me when think of how contagious this virus is. I've seen a few articles on how the use of...

He is excellent. From a brief scan of news the concern about the safety of school environment is starting to be apparent. It does seem the only country that have achieved it successfully are Denmark and they seem to have done what many experts say should be done.! I heard from my Union today...

They also say that 6 in ten adults are concerned about children returning to school,dont know that's those with childeren or those such as grandparents who provide care etc. The government asking parents to start planning school run and avoid public transport etc. Hmm. Dont know when survey was...
