We are holding remote exams for 2 weeks after half term and there is vague talk of exam classes coming in for some practical subjects but the junior years would seem to still be gone even for that.
It’s amazing how much it differs. Not sure if it’s council to council or school to school. My eldest is in High School but not one of the years going back so I can’t answer that one. I’ve distinctly got the impression from my youngest’s school that they don’t want them back. We’ve advised them that we’re not sending my youngest back as my wife needs to shield and they almost seemed relieved. I think even if my wife wasn’t shielding I would be happy sending mine back full time as you’re expected too but that’s just me, I’m not judging anyone who feels different. Your kids your decision. I think the schools and government needs to see it that way also. At least until we understand child to child transmission and then child to adult transmission better. Can’t help but feel that these first waves of children going back are lab rats.
2615 infections , 338 deaths
Stubbornly staying in the thousands. Of course positive it’s coming down but can’t help thinking the restrictions should have been maintained for a week or two longer
They should wait for 2 weeks and if infections stay as they are we have a bit more proof dont weIt seems that the pressure on the school decision is reaching a critical mass
Not really, my wife was admitted to hospital friday evening after they treated her they also covid 19 tested her. She was again admitted on sunday evening ( womens trouble) and after treatment again covid tested,so two tests in two days on the same patient, how many more would have been double tested too?177k tests done on just 60k people, spinning the numbers somewhat.

Good news. Any info on what the capacity is?Antibody tests to be through the nhs and ready in the next 2 weeks, be interesting to see what Hancock says tonight! Can’t wait to see if I’ve already had it, I rekon most will have
Which is absolutely fine mate, it's your right and no one should be forced to do anything. But I think it's also MusicDatings right to send his kid back if he feels it's safe in said kids particular school.The above exchange is exactly part of the reason my lad isn't going back yet.
Oof that's long, I'll have to read that after work. You're probably right.Right hope this clarifies if I m an idiot or not .

Has it ever been confirmed you can't get it twice?
We know which one Dom believes...In the Sky news article the part time PM says it's highly unlikely.
A professor of infectious diseases contradicts him - who to believe? The professor or the serial bullshitter?

A small aside and question, why are we heading vaccine rather than antiviral? Surely minimising the effects would be sufficient?I hope Johnson is right otherwise there's every chance life wont be the same until a vaccine is found

Those tests occurred on different daysNot really, my wife was admitted to hospital friday evening after they treated her they also covid 19 tested her.

Not good reading. Saw this a couple of days ago as well which is also troubling.Earlier lockdown could have prevented three-quarters of UK coronavirus deaths, modelling suggests
It’s not like we had at least 2 weeks head start, no one could have seen this coming despite the the warnings in January, why do I hate my country so much, I need to stop being negative, I would rather live in Italy etc.
I'm assuming, maybe naively, this is being looked into with as much effort as a vaccine. If we can relatively quickly get to a situation where popping a few pills makes getting the virus comparable to flu or anything else we don't go into a complete panic about then we're good to go.A small aside and question, why are we heading vaccine rather than antiviral?

Great news about the NHS surcharge
Pretty embarrassing for Johnson though. In PMQs yesterday he was insisting it couldn't be removed and that removing it would cost £900m, a figure that was quickly proved to be incorrect by over £800m.
I don't know if it's just me being really stupid but they keep putting up this lockdown easing graphic and it's really starting to bug me,
Surely the horizontal axis is time and the vertical axis is R, so surely the line for R=1 should be horizontal, not vertical. It's bugged me since they first showed it but no-one else seems to have noticed or mentioned it, so it is just me being really dense and misunderstanding the graphic?
My only other thought is that the horizontal axis is R, but decreases from L-R rather than the usual increasing and the vertical axis is cases?
Utter nonsense.5% of the uk has already had coronavirus from a study the government carried out, imagine how many people have actually had it once the antibody tests are rolled out! I rekon 50/60%.... hopefully next weekend lots of stuff reopens safely
Why would the anti body test show the study to be so wrong? I think you're wrong on this one Dom. Even if the antibody test showed 10% of the population had been affected it would be a huge huge difference from modelling5% of the uk has already had coronavirus from a study the government carried out, imagine how many people have actually had it once the antibody tests are rolled out!
