Yep. People shouldn't be punished for doing the right thing.
Which is totally understdable to me and a reason why people are left with no choice but to not isolate even when asked and worse when symptomatic
How many managers are over 60 or potentially at risk?Premier league announces 40 positive tests between 28th Dec and Jan 3rd......
Think Govt may take notice of this....
apparently groups have been congregating around places doing take away beer.
Sounds like absolute bollocks to me.
I'm sure there's more congregating going on in every aisle of the supermarket.
YeahI don't know what it is about bog roll that makes it such a prime candidate for panic buying.
The BBC article is interesting. Around 15 million doses of the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine in the country, about half what the government said would be available by the end of 2020 but only 4 million have been filled and finished ready for use. Interestingly the factory in Wales where this finish and fill is being done say they can do 150,000 a day, so even without Pfizer that's a million a week.So seems part of the issue is glass vials.
Could they not pre load the syringes hermetically sealed and ready to go .
Might actually speed up the jab process too.
That has to be the sensible way to go doesn’t it, at least they’ve made a relatively early decision.GCSEs and A-level exams also confirmed as cancelled in England with teacher assessments to be used instead.
And still Mrs Wisdom's work can't decide if she should go in next week...Over 60,000 new, daily cases for the first time

I presume this must ease some of the pressure you’ve been under.
It’s welcome - I’d like to see some scrutiny of all schools and their methodology of making predictions to keep it equitable. If they apply last years rationale - every class under a certain size will have no challenge to CAG’s and will be abused.... something I believe certain schools were privy to in advance.That has to be the sensible way to go doesn’t it, at least they’ve made a relatively early decision.

If they can change CBeebies too it'd be nice, anything to get fucking Bing the Bunny off the screen. Whiny little shit.

So if we have 4 million Oxford AstraZeneca ready to go and presumably at least the same Pfizer (BBC report is a vague 'fewer than five million') that's 8 millions doses ready to go. Yet the latest official figure, on December 27th, was 944,539 vaccines administered with Johnson saying yesterday that would rise to 2 million by the end of the week. Suggests supply isn't the bottleneck.
Also reports that each batch has to be approved and that is where the delay is, hopefully not as surely that would be something that should have been flagged in advance and capacity put in place.
Good news from India, they have confirmed they won't be blocking exports and should start shipping 'within weeks'. Presume they come ready to go so finish and fill not an issue.
Two foot the twat
Government create their own problems a lot of the time. If they hadn't made any mention of getting 10 million doses of Pfizer and 30 million doses of Cambridge Astra by the end of 2020 then we'd all be thinking it was going brilliantly in terms of getting hold of vaccines. Over promising leads to people asking 'where's the rest' when Johnson talks about 2 million by the end of the week.Ps think we should see how things pan out. The roll out isn’t going too badly and should ramp up in coming days
Yeah, April would still be good, relatively...My concern is the way they've been throwing dates around the last couple of days and shouting about being ahead of Europe they've setting themselves up. IMO would be better off with lower, more realistic, aims and then if we get ahead of them it gives everyone a boost.
GCSEs and A-level exams also confirmed as cancelled in England with teacher assessments to be used instead.
Not heard anything yet - personally i would scrap for this year, and use the remaining time to develop reading, comprehension and numeracy (as well as all the other Year 6 post SATS activities that they deserve) - schools can use other data like CATS and Reading age to inform them.Any news on SATs?
my daughter is screwed if it’s teacher assessment, she’s really turned a corner with maths but it hasn’t been formally baselines yet so they keep undershooting her ability. Really hope Y7 teams don’t put too much stock in this years data.

We actually did none - but that was because we didn’t want to put pressure on kids that had missed 6 months of school and had no transition.Not been revealed yet but any secondary worth its salt will do its own baseline tests

I hope this year it will be better with a transition process so it won’t be overbearing and more manageable for the Year 7.
Don’t disagree as such, however I feel there is an argument to be made on the timings of when they take place... I’m not convinced it’s a productive way to start big school. I used to be a big fan of them, but years of scrutinising the data from them told me I didn’t learn anything I already could get from CATS and especially reading age which should have the biggest profile of all IMO.It’s all about framing, primary school assessments are bollocks for the most part anyway so we need to know where the intake are at regardless.

The average reading age to access GCSE content is 15 and a half years. 25% of kids doing GCSE’s have a reading age below 13 years. That’s essentially writing off all those kids before you start because they struggle with Tier 2 and 3 words - never mind your subject specific terminology, your contextual words and abstract language.
We expect kids to read and interpret 19th century Dickens or 16th century Shakespeare when they would struggle with Harry Potter.
Just seen starmer is calling for round the clock vaccinations. WTF WHY AREN’T WE DOING THAT ALREADY?
