So... interesting that yet more news was leaked late last night and it looks like all schools will return on 8th March. I must admit, the news fills me with dread!
One of my main concerns stems from the fact that many of my work colleagues without any underlying health conditions, some younger than me (45), have had their first vaccination. Schools are set up to keep students as safe as possible, but many have little in place for protecting staff. The thought of being in a packed school again, in an area with a high proportion of the SA variant, with surge testing taking place across the locality is one that worries me. I have had cold/ flu symptoms for 11 days now, had to take my inhaler several times as breathing has been difficult and my BG levels have been through the roof (only in range for 20% of the time!) 2 Covid tests have come back negative. Not had a letter telling me to shield and not heard anything about vaccination.
I pinged an email to my doctors surgery this morning, outlining some of the above. Hopefully I will hear back soon!
