When will bursting bubbles end?!?!?!

When will school bubbles stop bursting and school closures be a thing of the past?

After having the vaccine yesterday I am wondering regardless of when schools reopen, when will it be that the year group bubbles are bursting and pupils being sent to learn from home?

Once enough vaccines have been done to satisfy the most vulnerable will not over run the nhs, will mass testing then stop?
Today is a day where this pandemic feels like it will never end!

No need for teachers ti be vaccinated before going back unless they’re ECV.

So the CV teachers just take the risk then and hope for the best?

I'm CV, caught covid in October. The most likely place I caught it was school. Probably via a child as there was no social distancing, no masks, nothing really.

I was ill enough to need a hospital stay and treatment. I was rushed to a and e due to a very real risk of heart attack or stroke. I was off work for 7 weeks, 3+ months on I'm still struggling with some health issues as a result.

That sounds very tough @Abraxan and I wish you well in your long term recovery. There will be school staff up and down the country with similar experience having contracted the virus. We are worth nothing more than statistics sadly.

Thank you.

I see lots of references of us getting back to normal once cev people are vaccinated. But there are a whole raft of people who are cv, most who are of working age. This groups seems to be forgotten at best, but mostly just ignored.

Most people's cv health issues wouldn't normally result in a premature death.

Yet they are expected to go and work as normal, often with no or limited protection. And if the worst happens then they're just a statistic, they simply become 'death of someone with an underlying condition' - people seem happy to write these people off, as 'everyone has to die sometime' as one poster on another thread put it.
