sunflowers246 have you been following the information about the millions that the govt have wasted on useless PPE contracts, inept track and trace programmes etc?
And do you know even the basics of economics, about quantative easing etc?
I guess not, or you wouldn't be using such ridiculous terms as 'if there's any money left'.
There are some measures that can be introduced immediately. Mandatory mask wearing, schools to undertake their own risk assessments depending on their own staff/student populations and the building they are in about whether some learning should be provided at home as a planned way, rather than reacting to school closures or SI, compulsory opening of windows and encouraging everyone to wrap up, not using rooms without ventilation or rooms where people can't socially distance (see point two above).
This was the bare minimum that should have been done over the summer when there was less fire fighting and more time.
Investment in extra cleaning staff and products (schools can receive a pittance from the govt if there has already been an outbreak in their establishment, which I don't need to spell out the utter stupidity of I hope), giving schools funds to enable them to increase provision of staff/space or both.
That won't happen under this shower of a government of course, but the teachers on this thread are absolutely right that lots could have been implemented from September onwards which would also certainly have lessened the impact of the virus on children, teachers and other staff these last two months and going into winter.
