    Agreed. Nowhere near the pressing or intensity of some teams we’ve played and their xG I think more reflects a bit of luck than ruthlessness.

    I think engagement is the key issue, personally. There are ways to get the theory in but distance learning providers are delivering to motivated students who have chosen to learn. I assume that’s not the case for most school children.

    I doubt there is any practical element that doesn’t have a good demonstration online already from something like The Open Uni or the numerous American universities offering courses online. Or is it the hands on skills you are concerned about? Using equipment etc?

    You either teach the theory and demonstrate via video, teach what you can online and hope the practical aspects can be squeezed in later or students lose out on that practical teaching. What is the subject?

    Who could have predicted that people moving between countries would have spread a pathogen.

    More reason to move online. I would have thought at least they could rig up a microphone and speaker though.

    But isn’t the issue that (as shown by the El Pais article yesterday) that somebody projecting their voice across a room is the most effective transmission scenario and they are trying to prevent that? Same reason they won’t open theatres.

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    This is where I think it stems from and why they can’t see it. They don’t associate themselves with the other types of antisemitism so think they aren’t, if that makes sense.

    Of course something like that could have been developed. The internet is already a wealth of educational information. Like you say would have been relatively easy to have a national effort and a lot of the people who could have been involved producing it weren’t working at the time, like the...

    Interesting. I don’t doubt there are challenges but there are numerous organisations delivering education remotely. The Open University is a national treasure. Why not hire them as consultants and get everything feasible online so there’s a back up and stuff for those students isolating to do...

    It’s incredible the lack of preparation that went into opening schools and having a backup plan.

    I’ve noticed senior managers are immune too and so don’t have to follow measures. We should get them on the front line and off the emails.

    Yeah my suspicion is they do have it under control, or at least relatively so. The options they have and lengths they are willing to are way beyond anywhere else.

    Sales of luxury goods seem to be doing well (assume you mean people are forced to work due to poverty but they have a growing middle class).

    How well do people think China are doing? Their figures are too good to be true and we’d assume are significantly massaged. But the economic data all looks good so the economy seems to be doing fine. This leads me to think the reality there can’t be that bad as people just wouldn’t have the...
