So high schools have to wear masks and do some lateral flows. That’s not that tough, and won’t last all that long as it reverts to ‘test at home’. Primaries have NOTHING. Please do your journalistic duty and report this properly!

For me alone is not lonely,

How is Boris ever going to deal with a pandemic? He can't even get a brush through his hair!

Covid: Workplaces told to plan for absences of up to 25%Rising Covid cases could see a worst case scenario of up to a quarter of staff off work, the government says. Another hysterical response and scaremongering. Imagine if there are only 5 in your department as there were with us when I was working. We covered 6 counties for dialysis patients and satellite units. It was hard enough with annual leave and sickness. Thankfully we had a great team and rarely sick. On call 24/7 though. The Tories - ALWAYS LATE. 3x late lockdowns Late to close borders with India Late to road map Afghanistan Late to address HGV & goods shortages Late now to action restrictions NOW to offset economic impacts of Omicron INCOMPETENT TORIES.

Boris drafts Covid contingency plan as quarter of public sector workers could be off workOMICRON's impact on the workforce could slow down all public services from the NHS to transports and schools to the extent that Boris Johnson has asked his ministers to prepare an emergency contingency plan. Tell pishy pants its the cold. Again could not will. Johnson and his incompetent Tories have crippled the British workforce ,by opening up Britain. But it's not the first time the Tories have Crippled Britain and we never got over it Thatcher closed down Britain's Heavy industries + all it's back up Companies by a EU directive

Nothing in data to support new Covid restrictions, says governmentThe government is unlikely to impose further Covid restrictions this week as the data does not suggest it is the correct course of action, Cabinet ministers have said. Oh wait , I've seen this one before. And it will be the public's fault again when hospitals are overwhelmed and infections go through the roof? Not everyone's immune systems will be able to take repeated attacks. How many already have a compromised immune system from the last wave? How many will end up permanently disabled? How much are their lives worth? ⬇️

Boris Johnson asks ministers to plan for Covid workplace absences of up to 25%Public sector leaders told to prepare for worst case scenario after record numbers of daily infections Must be expecting a magic staff tree Just wanting to double check the timestamp on this story. Yup, 2022, as opposed to several weeks ago, when such planning might have been an idea... rather than waiting until the proverbial hit the fan. It'd be nice if the govt broke that toxic cycle even just once. 🤦‍♂️
