bpreiss Why isn't the whole school in quarantine? Surely they left their classroom at some stage

bpreiss Parents are desperate to go back to work so they will send their kids to school because Scott Morrison bullied the schools to reopen

bpreiss Why are we allowing governments to play with the health of our children? schoolsreopening shameful Australia

bpreiss And to think people were harassing DanielAndrewsMP for being too cautious. Thank goodness for Dan.

bpreiss ...more bad news from Victoria, what is it with Victoria?

bpreiss Too many asymptomatic patients in schools. We should review and change the testing system, especially in NSW, they can’t find out who infected the two Sydney students last week. It is a system failure. Schools are in danger. COVID19Aus

bpreiss DrMichaelMosley

bpreiss Too soon too early

bpreiss Charges against the family, how on earth was the child allowed to go to school with symptoms and a 6 known family members having corona. That can charge a leaner driver but this goes untouched.

bpreiss There goes that teachers sick leave with no fault of their own.

bpreiss Next Morrison will be telling us that schools are safe: it's the kids that are the problem.

bpreiss Schools are safe though, aren’t they ScottMorrisonMP ? liarfromtheshire auspol

bpreiss So what do you want? No school education for children?

bpreiss here we go :)

bpreiss another private school with covid - what is it with these elitists?

bpreiss Thats school number four now .three in NSW and now Victoria..what you got to say Scomo.

bpreiss With another 10 billion handed out for private schools by Crime Minister SCUMO last week it doesn’t look like they allocated to cleaning and practices. Might have gone straight into the church coffers for more gold goblets.

bpreiss Hahahaha dumb protocols. Sad recipients.

bpreiss I hear “schools are safe and kids aren’t spreaders”🤔Students in school can be aged 4-18/19. Why aren’t ‘kids’ spreaders? Is it a biological reason because young primary children aren’t biologically the same as young and older teens; and they don’t need to physically distance?

bpreiss This cannot be right. Dr Joe_Hildebrand what is your diagnosis? More Chairman Dan propaganda?

bpreiss Has ScottyFromMarketing set his kids back to school.................NO! Says a lot about what he thinks of the rest of us.

bpreiss vanOnselenP schools are safe.....

bpreiss Kids being used as Guinea pigs! Disgraceful! DanielAndrewsMP

bpreiss BuT sChooLs ArE sAfe 🤦‍♂️

bpreiss

bpreiss This must be a lie, ScottMorrisonMP told us that schools were safe. The PM wouldn't lie just to get people back to work.

TyphoidMary7 bpreiss School has been back one week, how did a kid from a known cluster get anywhere near a school?

bpreiss Stage 2, initiated.

bpreiss Time to review policy
