I think the article was actually by a French lady and based on the EU, so god only knows the likely fallout in USA.
So just be glad we're not in America
I don’t know the benefits or otherwise of the school closures, but I know here it’s all being done via Webinar and MS Teams- looks pretty smart apart from I keep getting told to shut up as they can’t hear what’s going on, and there have been a couple of unfortunate incidents of not having speakers muted at certain times
You don’t think that applies to here ?
The paper itself explains the rationale behind what we're doing, editors of course will have their own view and nowhere have I said that Vallance has got it 100% right-I want to see more strict social distancing of the elderly ASAP. But I do think the government has been correct in principle to follow the strategy they have done and, until recently, to stand by it.
I have been trained up on teaching via webinar and MS Teams but as I teach a practical subject it's not straightforward or as effective. It is also much more work for me than just going in and teaching normally, with no real consequences for students not doing the work.
Thanks mate, but if the Quarantine goes on for more than a month i think i'm fucked.All the best to you
We at least have a free at the point of use healthcare system and statutory sick pay. The Americans don't have either and some individual states have more deaths than we do as a country. They are going to be the worst off out of the developed nations.
I can meet you halfway and agree that it’s right to have these people guiding the govt. But I can’t give any credit for that to the govt- that’s what the experts in their field are there for. You could- and I in fact will- argue that by not showing backbone if this is the right way to go, and by leaving it to newspapers to leak rumoured next steps, the govt have singularly failed to perform their most basic of roles.
I would agree, but we will be next worst without doubt, we already have the worst inequality levels. You can’t really compare anyone to USA in terms of how bad it will be there, likely to be off the scale.

Spent all my spare money looking after the Mrs but she still passed away, spent thousands on medical care as she was not covered as it was a rare illness.
Went in to debt as friends lent me money to help her, now paid them all back and brought about 3 months of stock for the business to try and get ahead.
Now this shit, think i'm fucked...
Been a great few years lol, few years ago i had shit load of spare cash and helped loads of people, printed everything charity wise for free etc.
When we had all the fires out here, again i printed everything for free as people needed help.
Bollocks to this shit, anyone got a council house i can have lol
Oh there’s real consequences in my house alright! I’m sick of checking up on them already
To be honest since governments ignore science most of the time I had big concerns they would do it again. All I'm saying is that I'm pleased if not just relieved that experts are leading the strategy, but I'm displeased at how politicians are selling and framing it. Ireland has a similar strategy in place-they have just progressed it more quickly and Varadkar himself said it caught him by surprise.
To be honest I’m watching what happens there more than here, very early stages here or at least seems to be. Very eerie though, it’s in the air, you can tell people are waiting for it to hit. Plus my family are still over there, most of them slap bang in the ‘vulnerable’ category.

15ish days but they have just brought it forward and we don't know if that counts in them days yet. This is step 1, if it don't clear by then then we are told it will go on for longer, maybe months.bloody hell- sorry, have they said how long it will likely be for?
We had booked a holiday in Ireland over Easter. Looks like we'll have to cancel it and hope that Aer Lingus refund us most of the fare
I think you might be ok, it is of course whether you want to. Who knows where we’ll be tomorrow let alone next month.

More to the economic impact that’s sure to be felt by millions of ordinary people.
Me either.I don’t disagree but then again I didn’t vote Tory
Oh man.Thanks mate, but if the Quarantine goes on for more than a month i think i'm fucked.

Tell me about it mate, the only option i have is to cash in my pension if it goes on longer and i need that. Let's just hope for a miracle and the governments stop over reacting, like i said only 16 cases here so why the hell are we going through this?Oh man.
Horrendous.
Bollocks, police just about to hit the centre i was in so we have all been kicked out as the bars don't want the massive fines.
I agree, fair enough, they will be like me.
No more income for god knows how long and don't wan't a fine on top).
Quarantine starts NOW and no one is ill with it this side of the island.
(only 16 cases up north and we are all fucked, hysteria)
Loads of business WILL go broke depending on how long it goes on for (including me), i lost most of my money looking after the Mrs when she was ill, insurance would not cover her medical bills.
Anyway, hello to all my CCFC friends (piss off Coventarian), your just a wind up merchant.
I can't move for shit knows how long so i guess you will have to get used to me being on here all the time (poor you lol).
PUSB and lets hope we are all ok
Cheers mate, over the next god knows how long i might just lol (there again, from today i can't afford beer, cigarettes or anything else and don't even have a Cov game to cheer me up with.Mate you've had some rough tough times.
Bring it on as much as you like.
I hope you can find a way through it, Pipkin. Good luck to you.Thanks mate, but if the Quarantine goes on for more than a month i think i'm fucked.

Thanks Otis, i might just have to call you on that.I hope you can find a way through it, Pipkin. Good luck to you.
And there is a bit of room in my garage if you want it.
Thanks Otis (means alot),Feel free!
Is that right about the children?The point on the NHS is true, but even with it being properly funded for the last decade it would still have a limit of endurance. The problem is that the politicians have started to waver in the face of public pressure and because none come from scientific backgrounds, they couldn't bring themselves to express inconvenient truths. Children have particularly high resistance to this disease and do not seem to be involved in its transmission but there's an outcry about shutting down schools.
Patrick Vallance is being let down by politicians who are bad at framing the strategy in terms that make sense to the public. It doesn't invalidate the strategy itself.
I'll ask my brotherMy main pension is with Peugeot, must be a few who worked their on here, does anyone have any numbers for me as i lost all my paperwork when my bathroom flooded (it leaked in to my kitchen and destroyed all my old paper work, number etc). Don't even know where to try now.
Mate, i'm shit out of it.Geez, you don't have much luck do you.
I hope you can get stuff sorted.
Thanks mateI'll ask my brother
He's just had his
