Must be nearing the point where the Yoofs have all had it Exactly, and at that point they are all as good as jabbed. A few more weeks and figures will naturally start to drop. I am still to know of a school kid who has had it who has had anything more than a sniffle. Most don’t know they have it until they test positive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of them with mild symptoms luckily. Exactly. They have all had it and only a tiny percentage have had anything more than a cold and those who have are normally those who already have vulnerabilities which would have meant the flu would have also knocked them sideways. I honestly think it will die back soon as they all develop a natural immunity with very little in the way of any complications 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomadic Raptor Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I think it is already pretty much burnt through high schools. Lots still off in the 10 day isolation but they are starting to come out now… it was always going to happen with 250 year 7s which havnt been subjected to it last summer most are fine. you will probably find it makes it’s way through primary schools now as the brothers and sisters of kids from high school get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don’t and I have kids at secondary school and none of them have been ill at all Our child has it and on day 8 is only on the road to recovery now. It was definitely more than a bad cold and the after effects seem to be much worse than any virus I've experienced with both of my children over the years. I pity anyone who gets it with an underlying health issue because it really has knocked the wind out of me and mine. The exhaustion, brain fog etc seem to be the problem during recovery. Whilst these don't sound that serious, these are the things which I think will cause the problems in schools (and workplaces) going forward. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I am in the grave dodging age group and have six friends that have come down with Covid in the last two weeks. They seem to be lucky as have described it as like a dose of flu and none seem to be badly affected, they have all had their two jabs so this may have saved them from serious illness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming there are a reasonable number that weren’t tested and/or were not showing symptoms, it may be that upto 50% of the 11000 school aged children have already had it. It wouldn’t surprise me if that percentage is significantly higher by Christmas. It may be a bit bumpy this side of the new year but I do feel that 2022 will be bring back the return of normality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
