Before lockdown is eased any more, hasn’t anybody noticed the Covid-19 spike in reopened SCHOOLS?
Boris Johnson’s decision to reopen schools is killing teachers.
The number of cases of Covid-19 in schools has more or less doubled every week since Johnson forced them to reopen, despite his insistence that they would be “perfectly safe”.
Here’s Schoolsweek:
PHE’s weekly COVID-19 surveillance report, published [June 25], shows the number of “acute respiratory outbreaks” in schools rose from 24 to 44 – 16 more outbreaks than were recorded at hospitals.
An outbreak is defined as two or more people experiencing a similar illness, which appears to be linked to a particular setting.
The 44 cases last week mark a sharp rise since schools reopened. In the week starting June 1, there were 14 acute respiratory outbreaks, then 24 in the following week.
Barring the week before schools opened, the number of suspected outbreaks did not rise above four.
Of the 44 outbreaks recorded last week, 23 tested positive, up from 12 confirmed cases in the previous week.
Overall, the number of new acute respiratory outbreaks rose from 199 to 223. It means schools made up nearly 20 per cent of the outbreaks last week, compared to 12 per cent in the previous week.
The Leicester Mercury reported earlier this week that five schools in the city had to close following confirmed coronavirus cases.
It seems that those who are trying to bring this to public attention are having a had time doing so:

Now, why on Earth would the mainstream media want to suppress it?
Let’s put it in context:

That’s right – 81 teachers have died.
So Boris Johnson has opened up high schools as well as primaries.
Homicidal.
