Hundreds of cases of Covid have got into schools in 🏴
Just 2 education authorities responded and that accounted for 200 cases.
The Welsh Gov said data showing that while 92% of school staff have had both Covid jabs that leaves more than 2,300 had none walesonline.co.uk/news/education…
Some Education Authorities seem to bury their heads in the sand
Eg..Conwy said: "Conwy Education Service is not collecting this data. Schools will be dealing directly with the TTP Service".
Or Pembrokeshire Council said: "We don't hold this data. Covid is being managed by schools like any other illness." A spokesperson added: "This is being managed by the Test, Trace and Protect service."
You’d think they’d want to know.
Busy washing hands.
And it isn’t “just like any other illness”
They dare to say this after 160k Covid deaths?

This is the reverse of good journalism & is not in keeping with @BBCNews charter

Where is @Ofcom in all of this. The person who has expertise in buying fish wholesale says it is Brexit that has caused a nearly five fold inflation in costs of a container of the same types of fish.
That Peston article about more vaccinated people in the over 40s getting Covid than unvaccinated?
He did have reason for saying it from the PHE report but the problem was he failed to explain why the percentages were likely unwittingly misleading theconversation.com/covid-19-why-i…
There have been several threads on it that I will attach to the end of this one, but I think it is easier for some to read a short article that fills in the gaps. This one by @VictimOfMaths is a good one.
I think there is another factor that should be taken into account.
How many in the unvaccinated group were previously (tested + ) infected and therefore likely to have some decent immunity.
Yes. The Johnson who holds crammed cabinet meetings without a mask in sight undermining public health messaging
And the same @BorisJohnson who appointed a SoS who announced it (and not wearing masks in a crowded House of Commons) was OK because they are not strangers…undermining public health messaging.
Meanwhile bodies are STILL piling high in their thousands as @BorisJohnson directed.
They are all quite deliberately undermining good public health messaging and are RESPONSIBLE for the rising death toll.
He read AIDS victims’obituaries on his television show, Bob Enyart Live, calling the deceased sodomites
A regular feature of the show involved reading obituaries of AIDS sufferers while playing "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen.
Of course Queen’s lead singer, Freddie Mercury, died in 1991 from complications from AIDS.
I’m finding it very hard to read what is going on with cases and testing right now
The encouraging sign is cases are down even on a Tuesday 26,628
Is this the effect of 16 & 17 year olds being vaccinated?
Or is it that people just aren’t getting tested
Lateral flow tests ⬇️⬇️
We just are not seeing the twice weekly bulge of testing associated with schools IF they were following Gov advice.
I would say a lot of people are not.
That said positivity rates are not rising.
But hospitalisations and deaths are
So that is the spot to watch the next 3 wks
The sheer level of infection amongst the young must provide some levels of immunity so slow down infection rates overall together with gradually increasing vaccination.
But there is also some waning, especially in the older more vulnerable age groups.
