To the surprise of absolutely no one, Noel Gallagher has come out as a raging anti-masker. 
 

His reasoning being that if you can take your mask off on the train to eat a sandwich, it obviously means the mask isn’t all that useful in the first place 🙄

His new album is full of it...

Wondermask
Don't Look Back in a Mask
Cigarettes and a Mask
Rock and Mask Star
Masking Glory
Champagne Supermask
Some Might Mask
The Maskerplan
Mask the World Away

 

...work is slow today :)

Let’s look at it a different way then ... as a parent you would have 3 kids maybe to look after ... as a teacher you might have a class of 30 ... who’s job is it to make sure the kids are totally fit and healthy to be attending schools ? If you think a teacher has the time to be assessing and giving medicals to all kids in their care ... would you want the ultimate responsibility for keeping a child in a school based on a time factored decision that could have fatal consequences further down the line ? 


 

Well, no parent wants their kid to be out of school, either because they’re losing education, or because you have to miss work to babysit them. If schools are refusing to take pupils with non-covid symptoms until they get tested, it stands to reason that 99.9% of parents will book them a test instead of just voluntarily isolating them for 10 days. Given how prominent sneezes and sniffles are in children, it follows that the testing capacity will be overwhelmed.

 

The government needs to clamp down heavy on this. No child should be missing school unless they have a new, continuous cough, a fever or a loss/change in sense of taste or smell. Sneezes and sniffles are not considered Covid symptoms and we can’t have every 7 year old in the country getting tested for covid on the basis of these as it’s taking away tests from people who might actually have the virus.

A senior health official in China said she expected a vaccine to be publicly available as early as November, Lily Kuo reports.

Wu Guizhen, the head of biosafety at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said she expected Chinese vaccines for Covid-19 would be available to the public as soon as November or December.

Speaking to state broadcaster CCTV, Wu said: “It will be very soon. The progress is currently very smooth.”

Whats better: A handful of children missing school because they may have a symptom of covid.
 

Or a whole year group of children missing school because one child didn’t isolate when a possible symptom first presented itself. 
 

At that age, missing a few days of school isn’t going to severely harm a childs development however if whole schools have to close again then we are in danger of severely hampering a generation of education.

The issue is though if one kid tests positive then it will take out the entire bubble anyway .. so it’s the job of the headteacher to protect as many students as possible and that might make them send a few home with the sniffles but also might avoid some positive Covid cases coming though , don’t forget the time constraints of teachers in amongst the social distancing measures , hand sanitizing and washing ... they do actually have a job to perform ... not much point sending kids to school if the teachers need to spend the whole day doing medical assessments too ...  fair play to all the teachers on here , what a bloody admirable job you are doing

Fair play Matt Morgan having a bit of a go standing up to him, does falter a bit later on though. Noel sounds like a knob though and the comments are grim so follow the link at your own detriment

At the sandwich shop now. There’s a guy in here. Wearing a mask because he’s been told to but he thinks it’s all fake because it’s the government trying to control us. 🤦‍♂️

In a way he has a point hence the masks but not for the sinister intentions i'm sure he believes!

Except it’s not a handful of children, it’s nearly everyone. Kids get sniffles all the time. It’s what they do.

 

And it’s not like these measures are even preventing spreads. These kids don’t have Covid. Covid doesn’t give you the sniffles.

I don’t mean nearly everyone now, I mean that pretty much every school child will get the sniffles between now and the end of the winter 

Aren’t we talking about now though ? Capacity will obviously be overwhelmed if they all have tests today ... but the testing system surely needs to be capable of spreading the tests over the winter period ... 500,000 per day is an absolute load of tests if it were to ever happen ... quite happy to eat my words if /when it does

I don't know who Matt Morgan is, but this is pretty funny. I mean, it totally confirms Noel as being a massive bellend, and I refuse even more to ever see him live....but some of the shit he comes out with is totally hilarious in its ridiculousness.

What’s mad-again-is we’ve just had all this in Scotland where the Schools went back 3 weeks or so before England. Testing demand went through the roof because all the Kids instantly got Colds after months being cooped up. Schools and parents were then Directed to only get tests if the specific Covid symptoms were being shown. Why was the situation in England not anticipated when there was an actual Case Study happening?
