Spreading like wildfire- schools

[DirtyDancing]

It's been pretty bad in London on and off.

But this is unprecedented on this scale- local schools which have had the odd cases here and there now seeing 8,10 children sometimes more getting it in a class. Multiple confirmed Ormicron case at local secondary and subsequently lateral flows coming back positive tonight. PCR results pending.

I know of full classes out, and two full year groups (Y3 & Y4) in two other schools .

Is it this bad anywhere else?

5-9 overtook 10-19 in the last few weeks

Reinfection rate.

Positivity in 5-9 highest too

DirtyDancing having lost a relative to what started as a cold it is more that Colds very rarely do it rather than dont.

We had one case the whole of 2020, but have had 8 or 9 out of 30 in some classes this term. But it is to be expected, restrictions lower etc.

None have been very ill, most of the kids were asymptomatic or just had a headache or whatever, and most of the adults have either not had symptoms, or felt a bit fluey and would have been fine to be in school otherwise.

DD (11) had it a month or so ago with no symptoms, as did some of her friends. None of the rest of the house got it 🤞🤞
