A hospital is not a control!ed enviroment? Ruined your arguement there

It's too easy isn't it Karen? Like playing chess with a two year old.

So the last sequence of deaths recorded ON the day from the Friday reported back to 17 April run 150, 105, 75, 47 & 39. And all daily totals back to May 8 still sub 200 (just!) even with a weeks add ons.

That looks a hopeful trend.

Salary. Working time.

The usual suspects, but that’s not a debate for this thread.

I can get you an application to train to be a teacher if you think the pay and hours are great. Drop me a PM any time.

Slowly but surely, definitely heading in the correct direction.

Found the paper.

In GD we trust. The uber statsman (and yes, I know there's an umlaut on uber).

Afraid not, mate. The ONS have reported over 51,000 deaths already, the 60,000 deaths is a projection by Chris Giles of the FT, who has been pretty spot on so far with his forecasting.

Ah yes I forgot ONS doesn't report for Scotland and NI. It's still only 51k though not 60k yet.
I would expect it to be more like 70k by the end of the year with additional people dying from not going to hospital for operations heart attacks, strokes, organ failure, cancer etc. And that's excluding a 2nd Covid-19 spike.

I think they have started going back in other countries too (I was reading about it but can't remember where though). Perhaps we need to base such decisions on the level of positive cases (not deaths), rather than fixed dates.

Think too it needs to be localised, ie, where there's a high R rate, tread very carefully (then wash your shoes).

Quote the DfE guidance issued 14th May(my bold):
Clinically vulnerable individuals who are at higher risk of severe illness (for example, people with some pre-existing conditions as set out in the staying at home and away from others (social distancing) guidance) have been advised to take extra care in observing social distancing and should work from home where possible. This includes pregnant women. Education and childcare settings should endeavour to support this, for example by asking staff to support remote education, carry out lesson planning or other roles which can be done from home.

thanks mate.

I'm staying in mate. Would rather live long term than have a trip to the coast. Stay in, get a take away and watch some German football.

I live in an appartment block with a very good view of other entrances, having witnessed many take away deliveries, I won't be having any take aways, we've witnessed all sorts of poor behaviour from the delivery drivers.

ACSL - might as well be a government spokesman. Lickspittle.

Seemed to be taking a reasonable approach to it. Not for it or against it, but continuing dialogue.
