Yet the Government continue to say the opposite and no extra mitigations required

It has been blindingly obvious that Government policy has been to allow the virus to rip through schools for several months now.
Whether that is called "herd immunity" or "learning to live with the virus", it gives the impression that Boris is bored and wants to "Get Covid done". |  | | |

It's called "keep the pathologically selfish and woefully ill-educated onside" — which when lumped together comfortably means his portion of the electorate are kept happy. | |

Am I being a bit thick by not understanding how the checks between NI-GB in anyway impinge on the Good Friday Agreement? Isn't the whole point of the checks at that location to allow for the Ireland-NI border to operate in accordance with the GFA? That was the price that had to be paid to solve an otherwise unsolvable problem as soon as we decided to leave the Customs Union. And they knew when they barely scrutinised the deal in Parliament and then signed it that those NI-GB checks would be needed.
Urgh, the inanity of this makes my head hurt. |  |

That's been their policy since the beginning of the pandemic.
It just that every so often, it's gotten to the point where they can't ignore it and they *have* to do something.
Usually when it's too late. |  |

Adding a real life example of nonsense school policy.
My brother, SiL and niece all positive for Covid. Nephew isn’t, but still goes to school.
How does this make sense in any situation? Especially with asymptomatic transmission.
And if he stayed off out of caution, they have said they have to mark his as an unauthorised absence | | | |

It's the Schleswig-Holstein Question for the 21st Century.
The British statesman Lord Palmerston is reported to have said: "Only three people have ever really understood the Schleswig-Holstein business — the Prince Consort, who is dead — a German professor, who has gone mad — and I, who have forgotten all about it." | |

Yeah, but trumpy hates CNN, so what they say doesn't count. | |

The problem is the government went from 0-100mph on releasing everything. If they lifted things via stages then we might still have an element of control. | |

The last part really seems very unreasonable.
Presumably he has had a PCR and isolated until the results have come back negative. It is wise for him to have a lateral flow each morning until a couple of days after the last family member's isolation ends too. |  |

It is indeed, but obsession with league tables unfortunately.
He has negative PCR and lateral flow every day. Only a matter of time before he catches it though you assume | | | |

To paraphrase a book I'm reading at the moment referring to Valentinian totally f*£&ing up the defence of the Roman Empire as Attila and his Huns attacked, he's a "gibbering fool betraying the empire unto disaster". |  |

Interestingly neither of ours caught it whilst living with both of us positive (unless they remained asymptomatic and had false negatives on lateral flows throughout).
There are real issues with some of what is being done in schools, though, and it is leading to uncontrolled spread and therefore higher deaths. | |

After googling (officially a verb apparently), I see they needed a war to resolve that particular question. Hopefully the analogy ends at the complexity of the question and doesn't extend to the resolution! Although I'm sure if we go to war we'll be in good hands as Brexiteers all seem to love war and have served in at least 3 World Wars each. | |

I'm saving the quote from a British WW2 soldier who fought on Hill 112 in Normandy for when the Poppy Fascism kicks off. | |

Also, the old but excellent 1066 And All That (the comical dismantling of the whig and tory interpretations of history by Sellars and Yeatman) pointed out that whenever somebody came up with a solution to the Irish Question, they found the question had changed. | |
