70 cases out of circa 1.4m is 0.005%. That is far better than the 0.8% amongst the PL. Bad news for the 70 who have the virus but if the world has to stop for 0.005% then we all might as well go to Dignitas

In the first 5 days after reopening.
I wouldn’t be so complacent if I were you.

The title of that article ("France sees 70 cases linked to schools days after reopening") seems misleading at best when you consider the following quote about 20 lines down: "Given that the incubation period for the virus is several days, people are “likely” to have been infected before the reopening of the schools"

I'm not saying reopening the schools is going to prove a good idea, it's just clear that it's too early to tell. You could just have easily taken everyone associated with the schools reopening and stood them 2 miles apart in a dessert, then tested them all and written an article titled "France sees 70 cases linked to extreme distancing measures".

Nope not often, and certainly not for a pint of Greenalls bitter which was what was on offer in my days of regular attendance. Even pubs I have walked out of if it involves waiting for ages for a pint. I cannot even begin to understand the daft twats who at Xmas not only queue for half an hour to get in the boozer, to then queue for even longer to get a beer. Daft Twats, oh and having done all the queuing then get financially raped upon coughing up for your drinks. What a load of bollocks that is too.

It might be annoying, but the queuing is to limit numbers in shops, which helps with distancing, if they let everyone in at once then there is no chance of any at all. I've changed supermarkets as a result, to one that is allowing a sensible number in, Tesco's aren't allowing sensible numbers in, they are creating a queue, but the numbers inside are ridiculous, I've tried 2 different ones, but too many inside, and many acting like twats too, so they've lost my custom.

Yes I know, waitrose is pretty good with the numbers, it's my local shop but I only buy bits there as it's expensive. Aldi have become better but the aisles are narrow.

The average incubation (median) period is 5.1 days.
95% of infections occur between 4.5 and 5.8 days and 97.5% occur before 11.5 days. So the vast majority of new cases from going back would have been picked up.

I can't get a delivery slot and need to eat so I have no choice.

Just using my local shops, plus the convenience store, not using the supermarket at all. We go out tomorrow, my wife does a few shops I do a few, shopping for the week done in about 45 minutes.

I gave up in the end, it's a pain as I don't drive but I have to eat so have to go.

I've actually found the click and collect slots a bit easier to get than the delivery ones and to be honest even when this is all over I'll probably carry on doing those. They're really handy. Book your collection time then do your shop as you would an online one. You then turn up at the shop tap your booking number into a key pad and someone brings it all out to you. I did one this morning and was in and out of the place in less than 5 minutes.

Looks like we got away with the VE day silliness then and much of the other breaking of distancing rules since - cases still falling.
 
Missus runs 2 schools, both academies, both early doors...out of 81 teachers they have 16 who can actually come in. But not at the same time. Staggered to minimize the risk. No actual curriculum will be taught. Max 8 to a class. no games. No toys. Not even the child's proper teacher in most cases.

800 kids, around 80 are saying they are coming in.

And the point of all this is?
