Please please for the love of God keep your children at home. Young children are spreading this virus. I have heard it all yesterday, from parents moaning because they couldn't cope with their children full time so would do anything not to have them home. Does this include giving them calpol and masking the symptoms of this virus? I would say yes for sure! Attitude of parents on maternity leave I am a key worker so need the space.... Even though they are on Mat leave and not actually working. So not only are they putting the older children at risk but also the new borns. I hope and pray every one of the children I work with stays healthy and safe. Please apply some common sense. It is not about the money at this moment in time it is about preserving life. Deal with the money side later, once you have come through this alive.
