Thats an emergency scenario though isn’t it - it’s not the case of being sick is it it’s closing schools so every child who is perfectly well can’t go into school which is absurd

But when they're ill there's no expectation on the teaching staff to have to provide them with the lesson while they're at home. So if they're 'off' for whatever reason we should therefore have to follow the same protocols and they have to catch up when they get back.

Unfortunately this isn't fair on the kids who aren't ill, or even feel it.

I don't know how the set up is right now but is there a thing where the teacher just gives the lesson as normal with a camera at the back of the class and the kids just have to log into it so they're in the class even though they're not?

Might have to consider it. Although the only other doctors nearby shut down pre-coivd. Local doctors surgeries seem to be a thing of the past now which isn't great with an ageing population many of whom will be like my parents and have mobility issues.

Had to go into the supposedly closed surgery last week to pick up some paperwork they'd failed to post so I could get some routine tests done. Asked about getting an appointment to be given the 'phone only, call in the morning' line. Eventually they agreed to book in a phone appointment for the following day with the doctor as they agreed it was only him who could deal with it.

Of course never received the call and its taken until today, 6 days later, to be able to get through only to be told that it was actually an in person appointment with a nurse at a surgery on the other side of the city! Their system has also text me to say I need to speak to the doctor about my test results but I can't book an appointment for that either, its phone in the morning and hope for the best Doing my anxiety the world of good thinking something has come up on the tests given they never usually bother speaking to you about them.

No wonder there's so many people turning up at A&E that they're overwhelmed.

Johnson sounding quite confident that the 19th really will be the date that things ‘return to how they were before Covid as much as possible’. Another 3 deaths today with 22,000 new infections including some lag from yesterday.

I’d be surprised if they remove the mask wearing on transport and in public buildings.

I think all the messaging has been that these will become voluntary, perhaps advisory, but not mandated. And with the proportion of people fully vaccinated I am inclined to agree.

Personally I think the number of cases will mean they keep them mandatory until the end of summer.

It has emerged that you can fake a positive result by just adding vinegar to the test kit funnily enough

Monday is usually quiet, the catch up from a lag is on Tuesday

Yeah, comparing number of tests taken to positive cases is probably better than days at the moment (test numbers have been all over the shop, anywhere between 600k and 1.2m daily). 22k cases is still high though. Increase in PHE Covid inpatients as well however there’s usually a bit of a jump on Monday as lag in recording over weekend. Let’s hope both settle down in coming days

Ive not seen any but have read bits in the media (shorter, less serious stays as more younger patients)

Primary schools can and should stay open, they aren’t the main drivers of infection and the children are less able to handle remote learning.

Teaching remotely is harder and a bigger ball ache so it’s not like I’m suggesting it lightly. My wider point is we should be fully unrestricting schools so none of it is needed and we don’t have half in half out

We are going back to mandatory masks in communal areas from tomorrow. 6 cases across 4 days in 2 years. 150 kids self-isolating.

Why so many isolating? Surely they can just have a test and stop isolating?

Good to know he's going to look at the data and make a decision based on it .

Still, we all know what this means. CON+10

Guidance is if you are in close contact you must self isolate if they have a positive PCR test even if you test negative.

It's pretty astonishing that someone can come in after over a year out the cabinet, with no involvement in the Covid response, go straight into the job as Health Secretary and make such claims on his first day in the job.

Well, that might be part of the reason, ultimately though the delta variant is far more transmissible and will become the most dominant strain across the world (until another more transmissible one comes along). I’ve said before this is now a race between vaccinations and delta variant transmission in most countries. Delta took hold here quicker due to number of people returning from India, it’s now becoming more prominent in other countries (most have a different cultural/ethnic make up so not as concentrated to start with)

If vaccination programmes haven’t been sufficiently rolled out I’d imagine more restrictions being imposed. I’m just hoping our vaccination programme will sufficiently protect enough of those most at risk

A way to add 20,000 votes to Thursday's majority. Expose Hancock one day, bin him off the next, hire a replacement who promises the end of all restrictions shortly after. Allow 4 days to rise

Yeah, bit overly bold for first working day in office !

He should’ve seen some data (cases leading to hospitalisations) before making that statement...well, I hope so anyway !!!

ps heard earlier that death rate is now less than 1 in a 1000
