Well an interesting first day back in earnest. Never had a panic attack just because I was inside before!! Stood outside the morning briefing and heard pretty well nothing but considering all staff were pretty much sitting next to each other I'll take the not hearing anything! Was ok outside or standing in a doorway but that won't last as the winter draws in. Brings it's own set of problems as well as the mask isn't something you can wear 8 hours non stop so when you go outside you take it off and then have to put it back on again when you go inside. Suspect that could leave yourself open to contamination by keeping doing that. I certainly need a workers belt though to hang masks, visors, sanitizer, wipes, gloves, pens, and god knows what else.
My GP then rang after school to see how things were and to discuss the letter. Pretty pointless really. I score 67 on the Covid Age test which apparently places me at the lower end of higher risk. The only things I score for were diabetes and age, that's it. Hypertension doesn't give you any score, neither do lifetime vices like drinking or smoking or even BMI wasn't on her list! No idea why BMI or blood pressure didn't rate. Not sure which Covid Age Table she was using! She just admitted that it's a lottery and you could either get seriously ill or not even know that you have had it. Reassuring,,,,,not!! I'm not as risk as some and I'm more at risk than others and I was lucky to be in a school with smaller children who in her opinion don't shed the virus., I then reminded her that I work in the Secondary bit with 11-19 year olds!
Not sure the GP's can even agree in what is going on.....
