Chop the bottom off the cat flap - as this seems to be what Sturgeon is planning to do to doors in school classrooms:

"Classroom doors to be chopped off in Scotland to tackle Covid spread
Each door is expected to cost around �150 to rectify, resulting in an estimated total cost to taxpayers of �300,000 "

SNP ministers plan to spend �300,000 chopping the bottoms off hundreds of classroom doors to try to stop the spread of Covid in schools.

Shirley Anne-Somerville, the Scottish Education Secretary, wrote to MSPs informing them that around 2,000 doors could be �undercut to increase airflow�.

In a letter to Holyrood�s education committee, she said between two and four per cent of rooms across Scotland�s schools and nurseries had been identified as having �problematic� carbon dioxide levels because of inadequate ventilation.

She said this was the equivalent of around 2,000 classrooms and �5 million would now be spent trying to improve their airflow using filtration units, extraction fans and by chopping off the bottoms of doors.

Each door is expected to cost around �150 to rectify, she said, resulting in a total cost to the public purse of around �300,000.

Should have been engineered that way in the first place. Applause for finally making these changes. The cost is irrelevant. Complaining about it is like complaining about providing flush toilets instead of buckets? 'Oh it costs too much, lets just keep ****ting in buckets'. *wtf, shakes head*

Opening a window seems more sensible than destroying a fire door.

really what relevance does the Scottish Govt's decisions to mitigate the impact of Covid in schools have to do with a silly cartoon about a cat?

well I think animals could spread under doors, so maybe they should cut the tops off instead

If CO2 is a problem then yeah, cut off the tops. It's lighter than the rest of the air. But how does it cost that much to cut a door? One union worker and ten non union supers?

My cats would have made great supers. They could sit and watch me work all day.

Thank you.

However, that UFO flew by to fast for me to get it.

Beware of correlation; and remember - if the average person is so dim, then half of the people are even dimmer.*
