I'll enjoy having this. But within 14 minutes ... (ankomando/stock.adobe.com)

The 14-minute school lunch rule at an elementary school is controversial. As the name suggests, it takes 14 minutes to eat lunch, but the trigger was a post on Twitter by medical worker primrose (@ primros25168558). [Photo] Why "14 minutes"? ?? According to the post, "Children's elementary school, if you remove the mask for 15 minutes, you will become a close contact, so it became a rule to eat lunch in 14 minutes. The teacher set a timer and it will be over after 14 minutes ... If so, I wish I could switch to online lessons with each and every tablet. " Certainly, it is no wonder why you do this. The reply said, "I can't believe it's the one who makes the school lunch. Don't you expect an accident to happen if you eat it in a hurry? (For disinfection work). I make it with the school lunch fee collected from parents, and I don't feel good to see the large amount of leftover food returned. " There were many criticisms of. "It's not scientific at all. It's like some kind of religious ritual. I want you to review the rules with the highest priority on your child's life." "It's too meaningless! Just open the window and ventilate for 5 minutes. I think it's true. Ventilation is more effective than a mask. "" Children are obedient, so you'll believe it ~. I'm worried that I'll remove the mask with the 14-minute rule even outside of school. This 14 minutes The meaning of the rule is that "no one takes responsibility". "" Is it okay? School. I'm worried if I'm sane. "" I think it's only a pain for a child who is slow to eat. It's not good for my stomach because I'm rushed by the time. I wonder if I can't just eat silently. I'd like children who finish eating early to go out of the classroom. " I asked primrose what the children were doing under these circumstances. --What grade is your child? "Children are in middle and lower grades."-Is it something that elementary school students can eat in 14 minutes? "When I asked how many children could finish eating in 14 minutes, about 10 people in the class in the middle grades, about 3 people in the class in the lower grades, and most of the children started eating again after masking for 14 minutes. Both said that it would not be possible in 14 minutes. "-It seems that the principal of this system was invented, but what is happening now? "It seems that the mask is still removed in 14 minutes. After that, the mask is put on again, and the child who has a refill and the child who has leftover food will eat again in about 10 minutes."-"In the online class However, I think that some people in double-income families are in trouble if they do not take care of their children at school. What do you think. "My family is a double-income family, but I'm worried about getting infected with my parents over the age of 60 because of the corona-ka, and in fact, I often had my children stay at home and take online lessons. There was no particular problem. Parents had more time to prepare lunch and contact them from time to time to check the situation, but it was safer to spend time at home when there were a lot of positive people at school. For lunch, I chose a menu that avoids things that might get stuck in my throat (mini tomatoes and meat balls). "" However, since we have multiple children, we can help each other if there is something, someone of the children. Is in a situation where you can contact your parents, and you can have an answering machine only for children, but if you are a single child in the lower grades, I think that you will use school children because you are worried about your answering machine alone. I posted the content of the purpose, but I think that it is most desirable to introduce a school attendance selection system for families that can not be done only by children. "-Do you think that the 14-minute lunch system is useful for infection control? .. "In the story of children, it doesn't make much sense because there are many children who laugh and talk in response to the music played on the broadcast during school lunch. I came up with the idea that it would be more effective as an infection control measure for faculty members, children, and parents to spend time safely by introducing it and reducing the number of children going to school. "Children who cannot eat school lunch freely. I even feel suffocated, but this is not so much an infection control measure as it is a painstaking measure to avoid the fact that schools and classes will have to be closed if there are close contacts from the school. This is because one of the current definitions of close contacts in the country includes "people who have been in contact with a positive person within 1 m for 15 minutes or more without a mask". Not only infected people, but also close contacts who leave the school will have to close classes and schools, and many will have to take time off from work. However, as Mr. primrose says, I would be grateful if you could at least think about online classes and school attendance selection system. In addition, primrose said, "Although menus such as bread and hand-rolled sushi that are eaten with bare hands are still served for lunch, children's hand washing is not complete and they eat after touching desks and chairs before lunch, so oral infection I think it's better to change to a menu that doesn't use bare hands to prevent this. " Regarding this point, I confirmed with Dr. Takahiro Kinoshita of the project "Kobi Navi" that sends accurate information about the new coronavirus and vaccines. Basically, I don't think that the risk is so high. Of course, hand washing is important, but if you use a mask and ventilation carefully, you may change the form of feeding for fear of infection from your hands. I don't think it's necessary.
