1/Shielding ends today. CEV expected to return to frontline professions without protections.

Risks to their lives unknown. Most with only 1 functional vaccine, some with none due to complex medical needs.

Studies ongoing. A 'leaky wall' unlikely to provide effective protection.
2/Their unknown risks have not been made clear to them, their employers or schools expecting CEV children and children of CEV back.

We know the vaccine might not offer adequate protection and additional risks are posed by variants of concern.
3/The best chance of safety is unofficial shielding something many CV have done all along. Without understanding employers, online working an option, they were forced onto benefits.

Difficult choices lie ahead. Risk assessments don't account for #COVIDisAirborne. Even with ⬇️ Image
4/So, in short, shielding *doesn't* end today.

It is government support for CEV which comes to an abrupt end.

June 21st is another cliff edge moment. Access to priority food deliveries will end with/without a vaccine/functional vaccine.

Q:When are mitigations not mitigations?

A:When they are optional in schools.

1/ When schools returned in 09/2020 the focus was on 'Hands' and surfaces.

There was no desire by @GOVUK to implement 'Face'masks.

And no extra 'Space' available,
Nightingale schools dismissed. Image
2/ "All children must be in school." we were told "There is little evidence of Covid transmission in school.".

* They were right because in the Summer term very few children had returned for face to face teaching and children spent lots of time outside and in tiny bubbles.
3/ Cases started to rise rapidly in children.

A fire break at halfterm dismissed. Schools went back and cases continued to accelerate upwards.

So in early November we partially added 'Face'masks to the equation.

But, ONLY
in communal areas,
in Secondary
AND
optionally. Image
