The first known UK case was 31st January afaik. Have many teachers got it? I don’t know.
If kids are the carriers (and viruses must love kids with their bogey eating habits) then surely those who work with kids and indeed those with kids would be dropping like flies?

And even if all the teachers do get it, it won’t be at exactly the same time. It’s just like any other industry, what if all the police officers get it? Or nurses? Or bin men?

And the alternative is....??? You must be stupid if you think closing the schools will do any good. You seriously think every child in the country will be kept indoors for 14 days? And would stay indoors? No, it’ll be just like Spain where people took off on holiday to the beach resorts and spread it even further.

Someone needs to tell Boris his guidelines are futile because no fucker is listening!!

The spread of idiocy is much more rapid than COVID19 Hmm

I know of a school where over 60% of the staff team are off sick with flu like symptoms.
The school is still open..
