[QUOTE="Max68, post: 2351554, member: 521172"] I think at my old school it was INSET day but there were schools that opened. Regardless though that's thousands of staff at schools on training. Back in September I spent two days peering through a window for Team Teach Training. You can't really do that in January, so unless they used sports halls staff would still have been in small spaces and as much as I liked everyone there many, especially younger staff weren't over concerned about Covid and therefore weren't as careful as others. That's part of the reason that I left as it was just impossible to keep yourself safe in classrooms with doors and windows closing as the weather got colder. So as you quite rightly say the government leave schools open for a day before reversing the decision. Every single decision the government has made is last minute giving schools, businesses etc no time at all to plan. They themselves are obviously in denial hoping for the best but never seemingly preparing for the worst. They would almost be better saying nothing before making decisions rather than spouting off one thing then delivering the opposite 24 hours later. It's all full of inconsistencies. For instance if they are so worried about this South African variant then why are flights from Johannesburg still apparently landing here? Nearly 12 months on and no lessons have been learned. I can quite imagine why business owners and people with or families of those who have had diagnoses and treatment denied or cancelled for other illnesses looking at all these flights still coming in and out thinking "hold on a minute?!" Plus why are masks for instance not mandated? If it's so bad make them law rather than do things by half. It's no surprise regular people are questioning a lot of things and all the government do is give fuel to others that believe in the conspiracies. [/QUOTE]
