School in East London: boy in Year 1 has had a seizure and an ambulance had to be called this afternoon: the child has no history of seizures and is not epileptic.
Seizures are well known to happen in omicron children.
Seizures are well known to happen in omicron children.
The ambulance took 3 hours to arrive: mainly because omicron has peaked and the pandemic ended yesterday.
One of the Teaching Assistants at the primary school was feeling unwell yesterday: couldn't feel their legs: tested yesterday was negative. Today, they came into school: sitting like death warmed up in the staff room: told to go home: before going home tested positive.
The TA said that they couldn't afford to take time off from school, and even though they couldn't feel their legs: they still came into school.
In doing so, they have likely infected many in the school.

The TA was roaming freely around the school and works in the same class as the boy who had a seizure and was taken away by ambulance yesterday.
The story gets even worse: the boy who had the seizure has siblings who are autistic and another child who has special needs: the child who had the seizure, however, does not have any co-morbidities.
While all this was happening: a Teacher who has just has a new born baby brought the baby into the school to visit with the staff and children.
The same Teacher refused to time off even as she reached the latest stage of pregnancy: despite the fact that there is a clear increase in risk to not only pregnant women, but babies.
The school, like so many, has refused to implement bubbles and other basic infection controls: they are choosing the path of an outbreak they simply cannot control, and likely will put people in hospital, kill them etc.
The school will almost certainly end up closed in the next few weeks at this rate: they've already given one child a seizure since going back:
