I'm not posting this up to cause panic, but it was emailed out to us via a senior member of staff and thought some people might want to see it and think about the advice.
Really important for teachers going into work today
RE-POST
This is a message from an NHS anaesthetist.
Just a bit of advice for you teacher hero’s that you may want to pass on to your friends/colleagues/staff.
Latest evidence is you are less likely to catch virus from a child coughing but more from things they touch. They are likely to be entirely asymptomatic. So unfortunately virus likely to be all over surfaces. It can also live on skin/hair/clothes. Those with long hair - Tie it up. Think about taking off engagement rings/other jewellery.
If you are doing a shift at school, as soon as you get in, have a black bin liner ready just inside front door or back door and ensure your washing machine door is open. People can help you get this ready but should stay away during procedure.
Take off your clothes and place them all inside bin liner. Take bin liner straight to washing machine. Scrunch clothes into a ball. Do not touch ANY part of washing machine. Door should already be open. Carefully place clothes inside washing machine making sure you do not touch sides.
Go straight to shower. Do not touch door handles and if you have to, ensure they are wiped down after. Wash your body and HAIR thoroughly with soap/shampoo/shower gel.
You should now be virus free. You can go and shut washing machine and put it on.
Cell membranes of this virus are weak so all it takes is soap and water to kill it.
Advice to staff from Newcastle LA:
Protection of staff is crucial. From tomorrow, if you are working in schools or in any other kind of social interactive space take your RINGS, WATCHES, BRACELETS off. Remove false NAILS. Trim nails short. This will help keep infection at bay and mean you can wash your hands properly.
If you're at risk this might be the best way to adopt some of this. |  |

He can't spell 'heroes' correctly, so I'm not taking his advice. |  |

Feels like a dodgy FB post to be honest Mullers. |  |

However, it's not daft advice, if you're repeatedly coming into contact with large numbers of people through work. |  |

Possibly, hence the disclaimer. It was sent out by someone senior to me. But there is a lot of hysteria amongst teachers already and backbiting. The sense the "we" are on the front line and sentiments like "more teachers will die" is becoming problematic. It's sad to see.
Apologies if I was out of turn, I just thought people might want to consider it if they are coming into contact with lots of people. | |

Spot on.
Problem is that people don't take it seriously.
Biosecurity takes time, patience, and commitment.
We did drills with our RAMC Dressing stations, sections, and Field Hospitals.
It was a right ball ache. A proper pedants heaven.
Fingers crossed some pennies start to drop. |  |
| Assumption is to make an ass out of you and me.
Those who assume they know you, when they don't are just guessing.
Those who assume and insist they know are daft and in denial.
Those who assume, insist, and deny the truth are plain stupid.
Those who assume, insist, deny the truth and tell YOU they know you (when they don't) have an IQ in the range of 35-49.

Nobody's taking it seriously enough here.
This is how S Korea test patients - https://www.scmp.com/video/coronavirus/3075969/south-korean-hospitals-phone-boot
Yet we've had hospitals scouring neighboring businesses for even the most basic equipment like gloves and masks. This isn't a situation the UK can muddle its way through like we try to do with many things. |  |

A lot of people aren't taking it seriously because by and large they have seen it as a problem for the elderly and vulnerable, that is, someone else's problem.
The message that it can affect anybody needs to be driven home. That you are young and healthy doesn't mean you cant end up in intensive care with it. |  |

I can't believe the arrogance of people.
Dumb as a box of rocks. | |
