From what I know, the whole of South Wales Pubs and clubs shut the front doors during lockdown. But not before opening the back doors. It was business as usual for them all.

In my cohort most of the other people on the course openly joked about how they had to learn up the subject matter before teaching lessons even at KS3. Bad spelling doesn't mean bad knowledge though

It is bad typing not bad spelling but one of my colleagues is dyslexic and a teacher so youbsre right. He is just having a bad day I think. No point continuing the argument. I will say however that my school said I am one of the best trainees they have ever had in terms of relationships with the pupils though.

Probably because I am immature but hey a compliments a compliment!

I struggled with that side of things quite a bit early on because I was pretty academic at school, needed to find a place that was a better fit and have found it. It did annoy me a bit that some teachers got rave reviews for being matey with the kids while admitting they didn't know what they were teaching-not saying that's you just my experience of training.

Doesn't matter how much you know if nobody's listening

No i agree. I have observed lessons where teachersubject knowledge lacking and the kids get shafted (not by me)

When not planning I am brushing up on my subject in evenings just foe my own confidence.

And whilst I get on with the good kids I will need to get better with behaviour management for disruptive ones. So don't worry I only got the one compliment lol

No it's fine, I entered teaching from academic research and it took me time to make sure I was heard and that people listened. My feedback in both years was always that I knew things well and could plan good lessons on paper but struggled to assert myself in the classroom. Which was fair, it's what training's for.

It wouldn't surprise me if Boris is wheeled out to announce the latest nationwide lockdown tomorrow. The backlog of death registrations will start showing in the figures later on today and I think those numbers over the next couple of days are going to be shocking.

It depends if he has the courage to do so for NYE, evidence suggests not.

Looks like the announcement we are going into Tier 4 is today.

Tier 5 for parts of London etc.

If they can't control the spread of this then it is only a matter of a week or two for a near-full lockdown.

The way they are sweeping areas up to go into different tiers from the sprawl from Kent just looks like they haven't got this under control and are on a damage limitation exercise until the economy stops or the NHS are overwhelmed.

Also, talk about moving hospital patients out of London to other areas

Time to lighten things up a little. This beauty is back on Youtube.

I see the Oxford vaccine has been approved. That’s the good news for today, this afternoon will be the bad news.

Of course, just wondered if it was going to be some aspects moving to Tier 4 today and the rest next week.

Cumbria I've read has had the biggest % of Covid infections in the last seven days (50% last time I checked), Coventry was 25% so unsure what the threshold is

It was predictable that politicians would try and take credit for what is purely a scientific achievement.

I’m convinced they’ve timed it to release the news today so they soften the blow of having to go into tier 4

Which is fine just give people the exit strategy. How many people need vaccinating before I can shake someone’s hand

I think his creator had programmed him on the jubilant emotion this morning. Very convincing, almost passed as human.

Fantastic news about the AstraZenica vaccine. We've jut got to hold our nerve, possibly another lockdown and we will be back to normal by April/May.

Im not sure we are.

Another lockdown, some more shit decisions to let particular people do what they want and then by chance an even stronger strain appears.

Rinse and Repeat.

This is here to stay. Most likely thing is that certain categories will require annual jabs for different strains, as a lot already do for influenza. Society cannot and will not be indefinitely restricted like this

We are because of the vaccines.
There's no evidence that the new strain is stronger just more transmittable which shouldn't affect the vaccine.
From what I've read vaccines don't tend to get stronger when they mutate but @Brighton Sky Blue would know more about it than me.

It's too political as well.

This is always going to be manipulated to suit agendas.

The common cold and flu mutate every year hence they prepare a different vaccine every year for it. These are established in the population and pretty infectious. Not as lethal as COVID which is a new virus, but my feeling is over the years they will become comparable and annual jabs may be required for the vulnerable groups.

As for the average person when they get a cold or flu they will be off work for a while but very likely not hospitalised (estimated around 1% of the hospital cases from outside of the 9 vaccination groups).

Nick, how many times - everything is political.
The main thing is we have vaccines and they're being rolled out. Hopefully they can improve the timescale of getting them administered. But they definitely offer a way out of this and a return to something approaching normality.

I still think we'll be living with certain measures for a long time.

Normality has changed for our lifetime I think.

Pretty sure it will be something else after the next time we are locked up for a while.
