To be fed up the children of this country

[thesevenhillsofhome]

Thousands in London for football and other events happening yet our children have to wear masks in school again

Fed up FOR the children

Yabu for a) not posting this in the coronavirus topic and b) starting another thread on something that has been discussed to death

YABU, schools are indoors and it's indoors where COVID spreads most easily. A lot of outdoor events require testing/proof of vaccination that is not appropriate for school children.

Sports events and schools are unrelated. It would be like me complaining that you were able to buy a pizza in Tesco but my tap is constantly dripping. They're different issues.

another thread about this, good grief

Oh dear OP thread police are out in force.... only allowed to post where they say...

Yawn.
Do the people in London for football not also have to wear masks when they are indoors? On public transport to get to the match? In bars and restaurants? In hotel shared spaces? In cabs?

I thought you were saying you were sick of kids in the UK!

Ffs

This again. Why do you think kids have it so much worse?

Are you saying you don't want children to wear masks, or that you don't think people should be allowed to flock to London?

OP, children adapt SO MUCH BETTER than adults.

Of course they should wear masks. They haven't had a chance to be vaccinated yet.

It is running rife again in schools so yabu

nah, it's just boring when you've muted a thread topic for it to show up anyway. HTH

You can also hide the thread, instead of posting on it to have it on Watch and I'm on.

This has been done to death over the last year, lots of groups of people have had a horrible time of it, not just kids.

What would you like to happen OP?

As you know, the Delta variant is having a ball right now. That means the choices are either wear masks or close the schools. You could homeschool, of course.

Mask wearing isn't really a hardship, is it? Some DC wear dirty clothes or things with holes in them. Others might have no choice but to wear well-trodden hand me down shoes. Why not get aeriated about that instead?

@Lweji just also find it interesting how Wimbledon was packed yesterday but it's just football that's the problem. But again, it's been done to death.

I didn't think kids had to wear masks in schools any more? Is it still compulsory in some places? (Misses point of thread)

yes I'm sitting here watching the crowds at Wimbledon and yet I can't go and watch the DCs sports day outdoors. Makes no sense whatsoever.
Incidentally I have no problem with the football, Ascot, Wimbledon etc but I would love to know the rationale for why parents can't attend their childrens sports day.

Exactly!

Of course they should wear masks. They haven't had a chance to be vaccinated yet.

But they can still catch it and pass it on so what's the point?
