The school he goes to insist that they all register their results with school and anyone not doing that is classed as positive case and not allowed in school. Schools can't be held accountable groups of kids gathering out of school hours, that's parents not being strict enough at this moment. There is only so much schools can do.... but if this crap government put its minds and our money towards them, they could be made much safer and/or extra premises could be utilised to help ensure that schools and classes are not packed too much with kids and that there IS adequate ventilation.

The problem is everything contradicts itself. Perfect example here, did a schools shift today now in school they have class/year bubbles and have staggered breaks etc but can all travel together on a bus🙄. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds a good school, my son tells me less than half the kids in his class didn’t even collected the test kits, they don’t want to do the tests. School says it’s powerless. I don’t blame the school, lack of social responsibility is the problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooping kids up together in enclosed, poorly ventilated spaces gives opportunity to virus. Reports today...

beyond our ken Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 On 3/31/2021 at 11:46 PM, ALBIONSAINT said: I got my 2nd Pfizer jab from work today. The nurse told me that there have been a few people reporting swollen glands in the neck, groin and oxter (lymph system) unfortunately some women have went to there GP with this and been referred for mammograms. It appears the GPs are not up to date with potential side effects and how your lymph system works. I spoke to a lead vaccinator who's not heard of these lymphatic system issues, GPs are also vaccinators all-year round for a range of vaccines so that statement is surprising. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swelling of the glands is one of the side effects described in the "What to expect after the COVID-19 vaccine" leaflets they hand out to you at the vaccination centre (see extract below). Although, to be fair, most glands are considered to be part of the endocrine system and not the lymphatic system. The only major gland involved in the immune response is the Thymus which produces T-Killer white blood cells in response to infection. However, it's also considered to be part of the lymphatic system! The swelling of lymph nodes, in response to vaccines in general, seems to be common knowledge in the medical field.

The real story from the data is that despite relatively small increases in infections amongst younger people, that does not appear to be translating into more deaths and hospitalisations - both of these continue to rapidly drop. She appears to be "reaching" for a story amongst the data to support her view that the pandemic is still a scary thing and (wilfully?) overlooking the real story. That's academics for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 (edited) The numbers getting the 2nd jag are ramping up this week, a couple of days ago almost 31 million in the UK had been given the first dose. Oh, the BBC still highlighting the minuscule number of blood clot issues, again, a doctor putting things in perspective that these numbers can/do happen to people long before the vaccine was being administered.
