    I heard on the radio yesterday something that I might have guessed has happened, but apparently it is now fact.
    Apparently 4 out of every 5 schoolkids / teachers in UK schools haven't been tested for Covid.
    Would anyone like to hazard a guess about how many of the schoolkids/ teachers at Eton public school have had a test. I'll give you a clue - a number between 4 and 6.
    Who was it that said "We are all in this together?"

    I work for the NHS and had to arrange my own swab test the other week as Occy health only started doing them on demand once the 119 service was swamped. Also the only test I have had solely through work was an anti-body test back in May.

    I think I read that all the pupils were tested as well on the first day of term

    Eton bought there own machine for 35000,each test costs 60 pounds each,paid for by parents

    to be fair not their fault they are wealthy enough to pay for it
    The school has also allowed two local state schools, the John Wallis Church of England Academy and Benenden Primary School, free access to the machine and is subsidising the costs of all tests for pupils and staff at these schools

    Seems a School can do what the Government can’t ?
    Boris says it isn’t about the money ! The lying get (again)
    Nice of the rich to ease their consciouses on the deserved poor though it’s the undeserved and their versions of it I feel for .
