Would you send DS2 to school if DS 1 is positive?

Just had positive lateral flow for my 5yo, heading to pcr test centre shortly. My 3yo is testing negative so would you send him to preschool as normal next week?

I didn't say that schools shouldn't look at ventilation and other methods for gods sake. I didn't say deliberately try to encourage spread at all. Massive extrapolation on your part.

Just checked

0 people died from covid today in my large SE town.
Yesterday, 0

And people on this thread think I shouldn’t send in child who is testing Negative for a condition that the vast vast majority of adults have been vaccinated against and for which there is a minuscule average daily death rate and that is completely abiding by government guidelines?

Not a freakin’ chance

Yeah I'd send them in. Those are the rules set by our government to which millions of people will go along with and you won't change the course of the pandemic doing otherwise

The NHS is under critical pressure. If people can take simple steps to reduce the amount of covid spread through this winter, then it seems logical. That way surgeries aren't cancelled, people get to go to their appointments.

If people could take the simple step of refusing to vote for government that continuously defunds and privatises the NHS it would function well. But they haven't and now it's not working.
