How many children have died from it anyway?

You do know testing positive doesn’t mean anything?

Because of one child in school year testing positive.

If your child is sent home to self isolate, but has no symptoms, a parent or sibling does not have to self isolate. This is advice given to my family in such a case. Obviously different if they are symptomatic.

I really do wonder how many people who were supposed to 'isolate' over the last 15 months have actually done so. It has always been that you stay at home if you've been in contact with anyone with symptoms but in reality I'm sure people went food shopping etc. when they were not supposed to. Now we have reached a point where we are all sick and tired of lockdown and I suppose it's even less likely they will follow the rules.

Unfortunately this doesn't surprise me at all sad I don't know if people have become complacent or what. I went to M&S yesterday and people were not socially distancing at all. I've seen school age children not at school, out and about too.

Also, this is a bit of my brain. I don't understand why children are allowed to go to school if their isolation period is over but their parents have covid but I know of a few families where this has happened on advice from NHS.

Yes, and how do you know the ones who are standing next to you in the supermarket haven't been sent home to isolate? Or the ones sitting on the bus with you? They can be anywhere.
The idea of sending so many home to isolate when they don't actually have the virus is flawed.

Bloody hell sad

I hope you reported it to the club. In the course of swimming, we’ve seen people flouting the rules. Often I think, they forget or don’t think. Not in your case though, sounds openly disregarding. We always speak to the staff.

Yesterday in the changing room at my health club there were 2 women with children who were obviously of school age. They had been swimming. A woman who knew them came in, and during the conversation asked why the kids were not at school. One of the mothers replied that one of their class had tested positive for Covid, so they had been sent home to isolate.
I am speechless!
