New variant news is incredibly worrying but the anti viral medication in the pipeline appears to be incredibly effective at preventing hospitalisation. It would be effective against any variant.
Hopefully that gets here soon.

I tend to agree with the sceptics re antigen tests.isnt it the case you could have virus 3/4 days before it shows on antigen test?
My Mrs gave the daughter 3 antigen tests (don't ask me why!!) which all showed negative and then had pcr test a day after last one confirming she had the virus. |

Yeah we thought she just had a bit of a cough, but didn't turn out to be the case in the end! (We were waiting 2 days to get pcr test)

The modelling has been absolutely mental. Even a close study of their projections around July didn't take vaccinations into account and even at that they were crazy! That spooked the government into not opening up more when they should have, when cases were generally low and the weather was better. This has resulted partly in the mess in opening up in October. Some will of course defend them no matter what they do. Can't see there being 200k - 400k cases in December either like they are predicting! Morale was really low amongst staff today with yesterday's recommendations. Kids were coming in panicing as well because they heard they needed to wear masks and they heard we might be heading into a lockdown. It just will be unworkable in a DEIS school setting such as ours. Maybe in a leafy suburb it might but adding another impediment into a child's school day when they already have many seems cruel to be honest. I won't be enforcing it in any great way anyway .

The HSE instructions that accompany an antigen test kit (5 tests in the kit) state to perform 3 selerate tests over a timeframe. Two spare tests can be used if required.

Making young kids wear masks for a full day in school is a stretch too far for me. Looks totally unnatural. I don't think history will be kind to us when we see the effect restrictions/lockdowns over 2 years will have had on kids.

It shows when you are infectious only. So could take it one day (with symptoms) and be negative but positive a few hours later when you are shedding. |

First world hoarding of vaccines hasn't helped. f**king boosters shots for healthy and young people is disgusting when countries around the world have less than 5% of their populations double vaccinated.

Work in a public school over here which would be classed as very rough school back home. Have been wearing a mask in the classroom since we started back after the summer (had been online since March 2020). It's an utter pain in the hole in terms of communicating with the students, and very hard to police as well. I'm secondary so it's very hard to "police" the use of them in a classroom. The missus has had to wear one while teaching since September 2020. Last year seemed like a complete disaster as the education board tried to police social distancing in the classroom. Kids were grouped in a pod of 2-4, and were only allowed to interact with those kids in their pod. Were only allowed individual toys to play with, etc (she had a senior infants class). I assume the social distancing in classrooms at home is non-existent?

Social distancing has worked very well in my school. Children have been excellent and are generally well informed. I teach girls and a lot of them are actually looking forward to wearing masks, especially as it means they can sing. Novelty will presumably wear off I'd imagine. Approximately 20% of our children wear masks anyway

We have been masked since the start and it isn't a major issue. Last year I had them in pairs and social distanced in the corridor etc which was a pain to manage with young kids. No after school clubs and yard breaks staggered so they don't meet a lot of their friends. I've abandoned the pods as group work is a big part of their learning and does more harm than good. Run guitar clubs only with single class groups though as of the last few weeks. Clubs coming back have been great for the kids. Like many of the rules at this stage a lot of the rules are just window dressing. Don't want to tempt fate but haven't had any cases in my class the last 20 months thankfully and hopefully that can continue
