Key worker not socially distancing

[HavingAThink2]

My dc started school last week due to myself and dad being key workers. Until then they had been at home with us as I was working from home.

There is a child in the group whoes mum isn't a key worker but obviously there is a reason child is there. Anyway, yesterday mum put pictures on social media of herself at the BLM protest in a large group with not one bit of social distancing.

AIBU to feel really annoyed that she will go home to her child, who wIll then go into school, and while they try to social distance in school, it is not always possible. I work frontline NHS and I am dreading the spike after this

Hmm interesting first post. Almost like you deliberately included a load of current buzzwords...

How can you "frontline" work from home

I’m worried about London after yesterday’s protest, but ultimately I have no idea who at my child’s nursery attended. There could be others so I wouldn’t direct the annoyance at one person.

Have you contacted Oxford University? Because they worry that there isn't enough of the virus circulating and we won't get enough reliable test subjects by the winter wave.

Other top scientists are making it clear that we now need the healthy population to get it.

Or are you a Infectious Disease/Virology research/specialist Nurse and have a different take on it?

Do you worry about the spike after the flocking to the beaches, or us all back in workplaces and on public transport?

You know that the proposed mask wearing will do nothing to stop the spread, as a Nurse.

Do you have a hospital bed in your house what with your frontline WFH

Another one very intrigued how you are fulfilling your role as a 'frontline worker' from home?

Do you worry about the spike after the flocking to the beaches, or us all back in workplaces and on public transport? yes the beach worried me, see what happens from that I Guess in a couple of wks.
As for public transport and work, the whole point is those than can stay home, stay home to limit the chances of people who have to work from catching the virus.

If parents aren't key workers then the child could be in school due to a potential safeguarding issue. That child's safety and protection is the priority.

Personally I wouldn't go to a large group gathering at the moment (protest or otherwise) but if you're choosing to send your child to school then part of that is you accept that they will be around children whose parents may behave differently to you.

How do you know the DM isn't a key worker?

Why did your DC only go back to school last week, when the keywoker provision has been running pretty much from the start?

Hmm interesting first post. Almost like you deliberately included a load of current buzzwords...

The simplest explanation is usually correct

So is the other mum a key worker or not? Your headline says so but your post says not. Also yeah how can you be wfh if you're frontline?

The lockdown has relaxed so much there are loads of ways coronavirus can be spread. I think it's probably unlikely you will get it in the chain you're describing.

I bet the other mother is on the dole to boot, who also loves tombstoning and buys puppies from puppy farms.

There is quite a long list of what ifs there. Some of the children there will have parents working in direct contact with people with covid-19, yet you happily sent your DC in last week. Why is she likely to increase any risk?

In all seriousness, your child is far, far more likely to get COVID from you being a frontline worker or from the children whom are in school because their parents are key workers rather than 'a reason'.

My niece has not left the house one single time, even for walks since she returned from,school,when they closed in March but has had COVID.

How can you be a 'frontline' NHS worker who has been working from home?

BINGO!!!

Just to make it clear, DH is frontline, I am NHS frontline, not clinical, can be done from home.

I know her child goes to school and that she doesn't work because I speak to her.

@Ponoka7 what a stupid post!

@Ponoka7 not a chance you are a nurse with an attitude like that!

Do you understand what frontline is?

Nobody can frontline from home stop grasping onto your own self importance you are working in your house.

Frontline are not, I would rather not have a child, whose parent has not been socially distancing, mixing with my child and putting teachers lives at risk and risk of a second wave. And yes I said the same when it was VE Day

One of my children has a school place, I am wfh and DH is a SAHP. There can be many reasons for a school place.

@TheGreatWave I understand that, that's not my problem.

You’re more of a risk to your kids than a child at school.

Ok so let's say this person is a risk, where do the sit in the risk chart compared to the parent that has been working on a covid ICU ward since March?
