Bear with me, because if they're not, you have to explain this:
- Schools will stay fully open end of. Even when they're not.
- No masks allowed in classrooms where teachers and pupils spend the most time. The expectation that they would be mandated in corridors is fudged at the last minute to lockdown areas only.
- Pupils are not allowed to be tested for the symptoms that kids are most likely to get.
- Teachers (who in secondary will teach all bubbles without masks) are not to self isolate if there is a case in a class they have taught.
- Fudge any data that may show teachers getting ill at a higher rate than the general population and Chris Whitty lying about it
- Fudge data that may show school pupils having a higher infection rate than the general population
- Not permitting / trying / mass testing in schools where there have been cases in case they find out how bad the spread is.
- Actually sending letter to parents to tell them to stop getting kids tested.
9 Fine parents who try and keep their kids off when in contact with a known positive case.
10. Launch a propaganda campaign to convince parents that schools are safe using data from schools in lockdown, which every news outlet dutifully publicises. Continuing that propaganda campaign by releasing a video of socially distanced school kids wearing masks in classrooms.
11. Hide Gavin Williamson in a cupboard so that no journalist can accidentally ask him how his aim to reopen schools safely is going.
12. Announce that one of the school safety measures will be children in bubbles which will burst when there are cases. Stop this midway through September and start sending home as few kids as possible. Remove the schools remit from PHE control and put DfE in charge to enforce this.
13. Produce a Tiered system of responses to infection levels (rotas, masks, closures) to reassure parents, and shut the unions up. Then never mention them again and in fact state that they are not to be used.
14. When Hull begs for rotas due to imminent collapse of system, send a letter to all local authorities re-iterating NO ROTAS
15. Have some strange control over the media so they don’t mention any issues, or if they do, it must be accompanied by a picture of a jumbo classroom containing max 5 kids.
16. Tell teachers to ignore the app when it tells them to isolate, or to turn off the app completely
17. No funding for schools to implement any covid safety measures
Any other explanations for this list?
