[QUOTE="Max68, post: 2304736, member: 521172"] I feel your concern. As I said above schools have a low bar set when it comes to being a "Covid Safe workplace". If the bar was set higher as it is in some other workplaces the Government wouldn't be able to get everyone back to school. Strange how the virus apparently behaves differently in a school compared to everywhere else according to Boris but there you go! I was surprised at my place that whilst they have gone by the guidelines obvious "risks" hadn't been tended too. For instance in the toilets there are only small waste paper baskets and of course on our two training days they were over filled with paper towels. I suggested to the caretaker that larger swing bins were put in place obviously due to a bigger capacity but also to have a lid covering the waste. He just said to ask the money men!! I also asked if taps in the bathrooms could be tinkered with as they are those taps that you press and water comes out only briefly after pressing. Got a grumble for that suggestion, so you have to keep your elbow on the tap and wash one hand at a time which is an interesting science experiment. You don't think about it in normal times but you do when trying to avoid placing your hands on the tap!! Re Kate Garraway and her husband. All very sad and my heart goes out to them. Only saw him on I'm a Celeb last year and whilst he was clearly a big fella he looked solid rather than obese. Haven't heard anything about him having underlying conditions so was he just a healthy solidly built man in his 50's without any underlying conditions?! [/QUOTE]
