Do you have to maintain a certain level of restriction to maintain essential /key workers Safe.It does make you wonder though about the civil liberties we are losing or going to lose to keep commercial interests ticking along.

Is this considered when let rip is suggested.
What percentage hit to that essential sector would represent a bigger health crisis to all than the infection itself?
I feel very sorry for you, the national babysitters is all schools are. If it was about education then it'd be all done remotely aside from practical lessons.I already have colleagues going off work or leaving their jobs because of stress not even a half term in. The kids are allowed to have infinite mixing within their year groups, that is what’s driving up the numbers. Similarly in universities. But they seem intent on closing everything else to work backwards from the conclusion that schools and unis are non negotiable

When they say ‘students’ are the driving force behind the increase in infections they want you to think of those 16-20 when in reality there is just as much in the 11-16 group. We have a child in Year 11 with suspected Cov-ID and was getting tested today. I had to track the amount of students he shared a lesson space with in the last 2 days ( not social time or any of the adults) and it was 143. Now if he is has it, according to the guidelines they all should self-isolate, and then all that they have been with that’s the whole year of 240 out. Just from 1 student. Now they may all be fine, and even those that may end up with it - but that’s 240 ‘spreaders’ taking it back to their homes, their families. You can see how it can spread so quickly.I already have colleagues going off work or leaving their jobs because of stress not even a half term in.

The schools have to mitigate what they can - and I think it would be a damn sight worse already if they didn’t have some measures in place like masks and year groups in separate bubbles. Additionally, the only place that the kids don’t wear masks is in lessons where they are sat in rows. They are all wearing masks in every corridor, every social time.When you sit down and think about even that one example the stupidity of the plan becomes mind boggling. And it also makes me think more than ever that we should include teachers in the bubble so they at least have a chance of teaching effectively, even if it's just practical subjects first.

Obviously I don’t know how it is in your school, but the thing I’ve heard that’s pushing teachers over the edge is firstly the constant movement of staff, rather than people having their own room base, the anxiety of trying to adhere to all the guidelines/restrictions/health and safety and it just being too overwhelming. The worst thing by far I’ve heard from my wife’s school is that leadership teams continuing with staffing observations, book scrutiny, and over zealous monitoring of teachers. Right now the only priority should be getting kids in, keeping them as safe as possible and providing them with an education in the best way they can. Leadership teams that persist in this behaviour are a disgrace IMO.
Do feel for the. Pair of you.
Do you feel the conventional term year is going to be sustainable,or reorganised .
Will half terms need to become longer,breaks more frequent etc .
If there are signs of peaks occuring ?
I don’t believe that exams will happen again this year, but I also think they will drag their feet in coming to this conclusion which helps no one. I can see extended breaks at half term and Xmas being useful. They won’t be extra holidays as we’ll be expected to deliver some form of remote learning in the extra weeks.Do feel for the. Pair of you.

They’ll be in place all academic year I believe.
Pre-recorded, alasTrump to have a medical live on Fox News.
Just when you thought the world couldn't get any more surreal...
Wow! we hear the nhs is underfunded yet look at these jobs and the salarys. come on. what the fuck
Feels utterly appropriate you’d be using Equality to make your point. It’s not even that much money ffs.
CAMRA tweeted this out which seems to vhastly contradict the governments claim of 30% of cases coming from hositality settings

That graph suggests it's thoroughly pointless closing other things though, if you're determined to keep the places with biggest contagion carry on.yeah, I think this is what DOD and others were saying the other day Clint. They stripped out workplace and education numbers first as these are ‘protected areas’ (in terms of measures/restrictions not from Covid obviously !!)
Ps looks like they might’ve stripped out Care as well
Seen to be doing something isn’t it. Entirely the wrong thing, but something nevertheless.That graph suggests it's thoroughly pointless closing other things though, if you're determined to keep the places with biggest contagion carry on.
But ultimately puts off the inevitable, if they think closing things is the way forward.Seen to be doing something isn’t it. Entirely the wrong thing, but something nevertheless.

Also that is labelled as infections so seems to be where people with a positive test are likely to have caught the virus.
The government slides are labelled as contacts so are seemingly potential know exposure to people with positive cases.
If this is correct it will always skew towards larger figures for hospitality as they are the only sectors apart from education and work where the venues have to take details so know who are in the building. You could potentially infect dozens of people at the supermarket but unless you and all of those people have the app you will not be able to include them as contacts so they go uncounted.

Rising cases in Italia now as well
lol so on one hand the nhs is in crisis with no money yet pointless jobs yes they are pointless is fine.. bearing In mind already 100’s of jobs in the nhs like this filled already so I’d say 10 million a year spent. equality is a tick box job and fuck all else.
