COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Ban-jani]

Recorded UK deaths now exceed those in Germany, S Korea, Japan and Switzerland - which all have more cases

They only have because they’re testing more people.

My daughter is doing her gcses in may.
Already been told they will have to use her mock results.
She got terrible results in her micks.
But since then her results at school have gone up massively...

Worrying time for her.
As it is for a lot of people

I’m an Examinations Officer. It has not been decided what will be used yet. Whether that be predicted grades or previous mock results... we are awaiting confirmation.

I'm a teacher and can tell you that it's very, very unlikely that they'll take just a moc result on it's own. It's more likely to be her target grade awarded or an average of the target grade and the moc, It's in the schools best interest to get better results and moc exams aren't 'proper' exams and most are only part exams so they cant do that. There will be massive amounts of appeals as it is. Also likely that any child who WANTS to take them and get a true result after all their hard work they will be able to sit a 'proper' exam in January. My two were due to take GCSE's and 'A' levels this year

Went out for an hour before stayed in car may I add, knobheads still all outside pubs smoking in groups even after all the advice they’ve been given

Unfortunately, this was always going to happen because it's merely advisory. By the sound of it, it's far worse in London and people are still not paying attention.

You sound like a self isolating dogger

True mate. I haven’t seen today’s news but I thought everyone who had died in the UK (before today)!had either a pensioner and / or had existing health problems

Was told today that if they had ordered pubs/clubs/restaurants/cinemas etc to close the insurance claims couldve closed Lloyds of london down where as leaving the pubs high n dry would be less catastrophic.

Dunno if true but makes sense

Don't want to be rude but these sort of 'heard off a mate' type posts aren't needed. They have already said anyone with pandemic insurance can claim so that blows that theory out of the water.

In the last week there's been the same number of deaths as the previous two and a half months.

So many experts

Do you need to be an expert to understand this problem? It's like a disaster movie. Outbreak or an asteroid heading to Earth. The science is straightforward but the solution is in part not even scientific, it's about creating social distance.
