Covid isolation rules schools

Apparently someone in my sons "bubble" has tested positive so he is now supposed to isolate for 10 days but I don't have to? Have I got this right? Because it sounds like nonsense to me.

 

Aye, them’s the rules.

Absolute ********, just like all the other ones.

 

trying to make sense of the contradictions in the rules is the way to madness!!

 

He has to isolate for 10 days in case he shows any symptoms.
If he shows symptoms, then you also have to isolate.
To be on the safe side, why not order some free lateral flow tests and get yourselves all tested?

 

Yep, accept and move on. It's the only way. All other roads lead to ruin.

 

I get tested twice a week at work anyway the other two adults in the household are both fully vaccinated and I won't be trying to do a lateral flow test on my other son.
To be perfectly honest unless he develops symptoms I won't be isolating my son. We won't go near anyone but if I don't get him out of the house for a walk at the very least his mental wellbeing takes too large of a hit.
Given how low the cases and deaths are nationwide and the apparent impact of the vaccine i just wonder how long we are going to keep shutting schools down over this.

 

You're not wrong. After I got the letter emailed I went on the government site to get my head round it. I failed

 

I've definitely seen the effects on the mental well being of my four kids, but as we've also all had Covid, and 3 out of the 6 of us had no symptoms whatsoever, and two were really poorly, I will continue to isolate when asked to, but will be more relaxed if they've tested negative. I've done lateral flow tests on all of them aged 3 to 12 and whilst it's not very pleasant, they don't make too much of a fuss. I appreciate it's more difficult for some kids.

 

Indoor swimming pools at Haven are open but they can’t open the water slides until May 17th.

Covid thrives on fun.

 

last time ours got sent home. She had to isolate but we didn’t. There was no instructions to either me or the missis to take a test despite her working as a nurse with people in vulnerable health. I know she gets tested twice a week but if she had followed their. Instructions it would have been another 3 days until she was tested. I didn’t need a test despite costing multiple locations through work. Completely daft

 

Both my kids have autism, just cutting my elder sons finger and toe nails is a huge task. I'm not adding lateral flow tests into the mix. To be honest due to his behaviour when we go out we tend to Social distance ourselves from everyone and our lives have been like that for years. I'm not robbig him of a walk and fresh air because someone else is ill. That's not a world I want to live in.
The devastating consequences of restrictions on my family have taken me to the point of not caring anymore.

 

If he's in the fresh air well away from everyone there is no danger of him passing it on.

 

Yeah don't get me wrong while I'm genuinely past caring about covid restrictions I'm still going to be respectful of others.
