We could be waiting a while then mate, eh!

What are your thoughts on holding the intake back a year, it seems obvious to me but my missus says it will just impact right down the ladder?

Perhaps this dozy fucking government can think outside the box a little, maybe even make kids wait until 19 for university, just until we get some clear breathing space, pardon the pun!!

i suppose if you hold back the intake you will have uproar from parents as they have to supervise for another year and manage without their income.
The whole things a mess really! But fundamentally nothing has changed since the schools finished, no vaccine, no large scale testing. On the social distancing rules I can fit 6 kids in my class. How will students get through lunchtimes and all fed in 40mins whilst socially distancing? Getting to school on the bus? Practical subjects where they share equipment. Don’t have the answers but I know 100% students will not socially distance.
 
The slide with information from the ONS Opinions and Lifestyle Survey includes the line "80% of adults only left their home for the permitted reasons, if at all".

What are the other 20% going out and doing that falls outside the "permitted reasons"? Implies 1 in 5 adults are not following the government guidelines, seems quite high.

Round my way I’ve witnessed: sunbathing in parks when it was sunny, a group of blokes drinking on a bowling green, a couple smoking weed under a tree, someone sitting in the town centre on a bench eating, people out running and not socially distancing, people visiting family/friends’ houses... also heard and seen reports of parties and barbecues, large gatherings at funerals and wakes, going out for a drive, still going to Nation Trust parks and beaches...
 
Questions

Getting alert down to level one a reality? WHO talking about eradicating the disease difficult,immunity still the big question,medications and vaccine research ongoing

Nurses pay rise ? We have put up pay significantly but will look to up it again,public now realise their value(we already knew it,you did not)

Too little too late in care homes? We have protected them from the start ( lying comes too easy to hancock these days)GP answering the question as well,multiple disciplinary teams needed and being supplied,remote care being given as well as in person

Rethinking lockdown due to R going up? Currently it is below 1 so it is ok

Data on R is a couple of weeks behind ,is it the right thing to use? Most valuable measure but reduction in cases is important,ONS survey is really important to see where the cases are across the country

Testing in care homes leaves a lot of patients out ,e.g. learning difficulties ? Homes with working age residents will have more tests available going foward,the elderly residents had to take priority

Schools re-opening,acceptable level of risk to staff and kids? If teachers don't think it is safe enough what consequences would there be? Risks to kids are the least of all age groups,we think it is safe to look to open schools,important to get them back to school,the likely hood of kids having it in any school is low,risks to teachers is low

Question on when care homes were given lockdown advice(starmer v boris row) we protected them right from the start

Care homes resisting telling relatives about the number of infections and deaths in their homes ? Gov has been transparent,will look into the question of homes not doing it,complicated because of covid is mentioned but they might not have died of it as other health conditions are ptesent

A huge chunk of school staff aren’t teachers neither. As an exams officer, I can have months during the year where I work 12 hours a day with no break and no overtime, being paid for just 7 hours.

Shocking isn`t it.
Our daughter is also a Verifier going out to other schools and assessing new teachers work and best practices.She loves it but she`s also grateful that she works within a Specialised Drama College (14 -18 years old) which offers everything connected with the stage and tv and has had young actors who are now appearing on TV,with one of her biggest thrills seeing one of her ex students take a leading part in Peaky Blinders within weeks of leaving school.
Sorry Mods I went a bit of topic there.
