Every day the vaccine rolls out

I dont think those figures tell the full story when teachers and assistants were largely removed from risk throughout and after the first wave.

I repeat 2 things ive mentioned recently.

Infections started rising once schools and colleges returned in August/September.
The current wave in Scotland peaked about 2 weeks after schools closed and started dropping at a significant rate thereafter!

Then taxi and bus drivers can argue the same point as their trade has fallen off a cliff with the pandemic.

Here's a question for anyone,when the 1st lockdown happened last March and before Rishi brought in the furlough etc did teachers remain on full pay?.
I know millions of us eventually got the self employment grant and millions more got nothing but if i remember correctly there was a long delay in the initial payment being made.
The reason i ask is i remember a teacher being interviewed on Radio Scotland who like myself was on the shielding list and remained on full pay,i just wondered what happened to other staff who were unable to work in schools.

Cant make the same argument in relation to taxi and bus drivers, because the ones that have been lucky enough to stay in work have been in constant risk throughout, and therefore their case is proved beyond doubt. The more restrictions are reduced with half the population not vaccinated, the more risk they will be subjected to and should be at the head of the que when Cohort 9 is complete, or sooner if supply or waste reduction allows!

And you are right about teachers pay, but they have been working, even if that is from home. Im not sure of what that has to do with them getting a vaccine early or not though?
