Youâre arguing with someone who thinks everyone you listed is working at home. Thereâs clearly nobody actually working in shops, food processing, public transport, kitchens, construction, banks, etc. Itâs all been done remotely.

People in those jobs also likely
To living in much more
Cramped living conditions where most cases spread.

Please stop using this straw man.

There are loads of workers not working from home which you repeatedly dismiss

It is highly likely that the main risk factor is age. An increased level of one risk factor does not in itself mean this is the main determinant of overall risk
I personally donât believe that any of those put themselves in situations every day that is comparable to what many teachers would, but thatâs a very general point I suppose,
Iâm seeing a lot of support for SNAs online but fuck all for teachers, I have a theory why, itâs a salt of the earth thing?
This is a total shitshow
Women are going to bring the country down.
Prime Time is like a transition year presentation here with Miriamâs planted questions.
Theyâre basically copying and pasting @Copper_pipeâs posts now.
Thatâs journalism now I suppose.
Whatâs this now?
Iâm watching Family Guy 
Theyâre using the Swedish numbers to outline what deliveries we might get.
Copy someoneâs homework, change it up a bit so you donât get caught.
Sure - obviously the situations of all jobs are different. I havenât seen much data though as to whether they are riskier to a level which outweighs the risk associated with age 
If there was conclusive data I suspect the respective unions would be repeatedly publicising it. Maybe they have - I just havenât seen it. That data does seem to exist for direct contact healthcare workers in contrast.
The lack of data would suggest either it isnât riskier than just being older or itâs fairly marginal - both of which would support the revised approach.
I donât think any of what Iâve said is anti-teacher by the way.
I donât think I accused you of being anti teacher??
I know what itâs like, I know what social distancing and hand washing and all that goes with that is with small kids, I know what it is to break up fights among them, be spat on, clean them up when theyâre cut or have shit themselves
I just donât think the office workers or delivery drivers are comparable

Yes youâve said that but none of them are comparable to GardaĂ or teachers.
Age is the main risk factor but itâs relevance diminishes rapidly as you go down from 60.
Itâs definitely a tough job at times and to be clear Iâm not arguing that there is no risk - just that itâs quite possible even probable that the revised approach taken by NIAC is the most prudent way to mitigate risk across the population
Thelma & Louise. And Bridie.
Iâm glad you got there in the end.
Fair enough, I had this argument today in real life too with somebody very close to me,
I genuinely believe that it is not worth the risk of shutting down classes or schools for the sake of the few days it would take, the INTO fella on drive time tonight said it would take half a day in one venue to vaccinate all special school teachers and SNAs, that would be a great start
The big twist coming is the two dubai girls get bailed out at the last minute and when they go to meet the Mr Big theyâve been running drugs for the chair spins round and its Tony.

I thought that argument had some merit until someone here said that you have to self-isolate even if youâre vaccinated! So you could have a school full of vaccinated teachers but in comes a teenager with a positive test and the class is shut down anyway
Correct Vaccinations donât remove need to self isolate.
After COVID-19 vaccination, you can still become a close contact of COVID-19. There is no change in advice for what close contacts of COVID-19 need to do, even if they have been vaccinated.
