Isegrim 9798 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 On 29/10/2020 at 13:46, Meenzer said: Interestingly the French and German "lockdown light" variants they've just brought in still have the schools staying open. Aside from the benefit to the kids, as much as anything I imagine the feeling is it's better to have parents who can actually be productive at work rather than having to juggle it with home schooling. Either that or, like here, they've had time to come up with a more viable blended schooling concept in the meantime and just haven't bothered. There has been too much pressure to keep schools and kindergardens open for the well-being of the kids and the parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30641 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Prof Gabriel Scally, a Sage member, told BBC's Newsnight that a national lockdown was inevitable. "The R number is still far too high. Everyone knows that these tiers are not working and they're not going to work. "We could have got away with a shorter circuit-breaker if it had been done earlier but now I think the numbers are accelerating so fast that there is nothing left in the armoury anymore except really quite a serious lockdown." As @trooper has been saying for weeks now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5223 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Sorry but how have we gone from 100 deaths to 4000 in the space of a week or so? Have these individuals saying this simply been ignored by both media and government, or has something happened to change the state of play?

Dr Gloom 21951 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Aye, that completely. Love them after work and at weeekends. Absolutely hated trying to juggle work with being their maths teacher. Also feel really sorry for the children having to tolerate being trapped at home with us.

Kid Dynamite 7034 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) And the scary thing is there usually a 3 week ish lag between catching COVID and dying. So in another 3 weeks you can double that death rate to 7-800 a day going on how quickly the cases are rising Which is exactly why SAGE/Labour asked for a lockdown 2 weeks ago. If you wait until the cases get too high then it's already too late. We most have the most reactive government in the western world Edited October 31, 2020 by Kid Dynamite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
