The Queen's University Belfast team have been studying children and say this may be worth adding to the checklist of symptoms.
Currently, the officially recognised symptoms in the UK are a fever, cough and loss of smell or taste.
Anyone with any of these should isolate and get tested for the virus.
Maybe we should also add 'don't want to go to school' to the list.
Some people could do with losing their smell.
ReplyDeleteAs for taste, modern education will hardly improve that.
What's needed is some sense.
Surely those are the symptoms of the teachers 😂
ReplyDelete"The dog ate my test results".
ReplyDeleteRemember how the war on Al Qaeda changed into the war on terrorism and then the war on terror? I think we may be seeing something similar with covid symptoms. We'll have a war on sickness. To protect the NHS, of course.
If the NHS becomes any more 'protected' it will disappear all together.
ReplyDeleteDoonhamer - and sense seems to be fostered by adversity and the rough edges of real life, but too many influential people only really deal in words.
ReplyDeleteGraeme - good point. It has been very revealing.
Sam - that's a concern with winter on the horizon. How are coughs, colds and flu to be dealt with we wonder. Not with a shrug, a box of tissues and a paracetamol, not now.
Wiggia - I think that's the idea. They don't want us messing up their workplace.
