Also worth noting that school rules – at least in my part of the UK (Tory run Hampshire) – are now insane. It is strongly recommended you do NOT test for covid. If you choose to, your child has a maximum of three days to return to school, even if testing positive, unless they have a high fever. Failure results in strikes against your child’s record. Ten half days unauthorised can lead to referral and prosecution. All going well on Normal Island…

@[email protected] @[email protected] Same. The age group with school age children are incredibly vulnerable and they're usually working age so that's a ton of people that will be too sick to work. It's utterly criminal frankly.

@craiggrannell @serichards that’s a ridiculous way to handle any illness, let alone one so contagious

@BenRiceM @serichards And yet if your kid throws up – at all – they are blocked from school for two full days. So there are rules in place to stop the spread of eg norovirus, but not covid.
