Why is the number of schools with c19 not being reported?
Discussion
3 pubs are shut and it makes headlines all over, yet nothing is said about school closures. The Mrs knows, she teaches and gets the teachers news. She has looked for it else where and concluded it is being suppressed.
Is this part of some conspiracy by the press / gov, or do we only give a crap about pubs.
Note, i haven't double checked the facts, so wife could be wrong, paranoid, playing me for a fool
44 in the first week, then 15, then another load this week.
I await the black helicopters, and a knock on the door...

Are they school closures, or just reported cases?
My daughter isn't back yet (she's year 2), but there was a case confirmed at her school so the "bubble" was shut down which, IIRC, meant 15 kinds and a couple of teachers isolating for 7 days. So not exactly the whole school closing down.

Yesterday. In the news. https://www.mkfm.com/news/local-news/primary-schoo...
The rub was, why not reported in mainstream media, vs 3 pubs making the headlines. If you have to dredge up a teaching focused rag and a local news site, it seems a like you are struggling.
LOL at trying to start a scare story. BTW
The point is; does the UK care more about 3 piss pot pubs than the welfare of our children. It appears so
Surprises me that we aren't "Thinking of the children." I we can't get pi55ed on draft beer, it is news of national priority.
Priorities? UK?

It's not necessary the priorities of the UK you should be questioning, but those of the media.LOL at trying to start a scare story. BTW

Schools is old news now, they've been back for a while now. Pubs have only just reopened so some closing straight away is news, whether you like it or not.

Children are super spreaders but not affected by Covid. They don't die of it (cue someone finding a sad story of a death of a child with it - look at the stats) They are more at risk going to and from the school - death by accidents than they are being in the school. They may give it to the teachers though.Neil1300r said:

Do you have a source for your claim that they are super spreaders please? I seem to recall reading something that said they effectively, and for reasons unknown didnt spread the virus, making me raise an eyebrow at this being the first time the little buggers didnt spread every disease they could
Well I just googled it for you. Turns out reports are now saying they aren't! That will teach me Not sure I believe it though - like you I expect the little buggers to spread everythingAs someone with a teacher wife who I naturally worry about, it's hard to imagine how children can be magically immune from spreading covid. Unless the same research has discovered children are made from special anti viral material.
Given the general belief is that among other transmission methods this virus is spread by contact with surfaces, and children can't resist touching everything the can see or reach, generally have no concept of social distancing and will be coming in to contact with adults of all ages and health states, how exactly are children immune from spreading it? I'm even fairly cynical about the reports that the virus goes in to kids but doesn't either cause symptoms or become transmissible from the child onwards. The drive to reopen everything and especially schools seems to have been more based on getting the economy up and running again than trying to keep the virus contained.
I will say I'm in favour of getting the economy going again, I was against the initial shut down, I think the vulnerable should have been locked up and the rest of us told to apply common sense. The problem is you only have to look at any tourist areas to see how little common sense exists in certain parts of the population.

.
The mechanism is still unclear but might be connected with how few children develop symptoms. .
There have been early scientific studies on the subject though, in many countries.

I'm afraid you don't understand the basics about viruses, t cells, antibodies etc My understanding is that there is little evidence for asymptomatic spread being significant or even happening at all. Given ghat children don’t show symptoms, it kind of adds up.
Even the WHO said there was little evidence of asymptomatic spread, however this hasn’t stopped the media, or seemingly my work health and safety bods continually going on about it to support the use of masks and how we’ll have a “second wave”.
