101 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 2 hours ago, Marshmallo said: Does The Science differentiate between the risks to 4-5 year olds in Primary One versus 16-17 year olds in Sixth Year? Or teachers in their 20s versus teachers in their 60s? Schools going back may be the correct decision for a variety of reasons, but I wish they'd stop kidding everyone on that it's a risk based decision around the chances of spreading the virus. It's to placate parents and get more of them back out to work. From what I've seen there is next to no increase in mortality rates between 4 year olds and 17 year olds. It would all depend on their likelihood to spread it because although children can get it they don't seem to be particularly good at spreading it. As for teachers, I would imagine they will have to socially distance themselves from each other. I've never been in a school that isn't drafty as hell so it will be in a well ventilated space 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy with this, I rarely venture into the staff room being the only male teacher. Edited August 3, 2020 by super_carson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread is shite now. I do like talking pish myself but that c**t gets all offended when people don't listen to his mental ideas, forums like these should be something you do when you've got time to kill or work to skive from . they should not be a competition on who can be the most dominant poster or whatever the f**k his game is 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it doesn't sound like that will be a particularly usable space with social distancing but do you not have a PC in your class room? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) We could have pubs and restaurants for over 50s. Anyone below can go to Wetherspoons and Brewers Fayre coups with their scabby weans and leave me in peace. Childless 20 to 40s can piss off to a disused nightclub or something.
