Actually *@HelloMissus* I want most restrictions lifted - I just want it to go hand in hand with additional mitigations in school - particularly proper ventilation. And I do really care about all vulnerable children, not just those that are disabled or clinically vulnerable in terms of Covid. The whole situation is shit and I don't think any good is served by those of us not in power putting ourselves against each other. All I've been saying all along is a little empathy would go a very long way.
Schools have had more than enough mitigations in place, to the extent that its significantly hampered their education over the past 18 months. They don't need more! Apart from opening windows wide and possibly using fans, which I'm thinking schools are already doing, I'm not sure what more you're wanting in terms of ventilation?
Children aren't being vaccinated because, despite vaccinations being incredibly safe, the tiny risk is equivalent to the risk to Covid in children. Schools just need to crack on and children take time off if too ill to attend, and that's it. Very vulnerable children should be vaccinated over the summer.... the sooner Covid goes through a school, the sooner that school will be able to get back to normality, benefiting all children, including the vulnerable (who may have to remain off whilst an outbreak rips through).
As long as the NHS isn't overwhelmed, suppression is counterproductive at this stage I think. Your child will be exposed to Covid... they might as well get it sooner rather than later.
Vaccinations mean we should treat Covid like the flu - a nasty bug, but not one we curtail our lives for.
