Summary 3- It is essential to get the balance between the importance of childrens education and school vs health during flu #whatilearned

@adelaide_fisher @ChattertonFiona Perhaps doctor or nurse could confirm they're better again before they go back to school? #fluscenario

@BeckyWallace918 @AsierJohnstone Perhaps the school could get involved in education about symptoms to parents #fluscenario

@JessicaNg0 @GillMiller0 In the bigger picture it's more important to miss some school in order to control the risk of flu #fluscenario

@AsierJohnstone @BeckyWallace918 Its difficult as what we think is non-essential may have a huge impact on someone else life? #fluscenario

@BeckyWallace918 @GillMiller0 @JessicaNg0 Maybe they should close before any one in the school has caught flu for prevention? #fluscenario

@PHO_Team @_michael_mcd_ @TomForbes13 The multidisciplinary team :) #fluscenario

@TomForbes13 @_michael_mcd_ I suppose it depends on what the unwell patient has, more information would be needed #fluscenario

@TomForbes13 @_michael_mcd_ Yes because with the vaccine they still may be able to live for quite a long time #fluscenario

@TomForbes13 @ckwonie_ @ibough @siobhanc10 They would need to develop a spray for over 49 year olds and under 2 yrs aswell #fluscenario

@TomForbes13 Assessing might help decide what precautions are needed though? #fluscenario

@ckwonie_ @siobhanc10 They may be administered incorrectly or misused by people who do not know what they are doing? #fluscenario

@JessicaNg0 @GillMiller0 I agree but not just prevention but actions to take during a flu crisis too #fluscenario

@TomForbes13 @BeckyWallace918 @DundeePublicH But if it's a crisis, people may be more understanding and not infect others. #fluscenario

@TomForbes13 @GillMiller0 @jyquek As long as incorrect info is not spread quickly by social media #fluscenario

@TomForbes13 @GillMiller0 @jyquek It's a good idea as long as information comes from reliable sources... #fluscenario

@TomForbes13 I agree but they should also be identifying vulnerable people who may not seek out advice from their doctor #fluscenario
