Corona Virus: How Are We Doing?

[SpokeyDokey]

The problem is that due to incubation times, there isn't enough time to see any negative effects of the lockdown relaxation before that meeting takes place.

Possibly. Although the schools situation is, as far as I can surmise, a separate risk modelling exercise to the lockdown restrictions lifted last week - although I can see the former as having some bearing on the schools ongoing risk modelling.

I'm no risk modelling expert so I really can't comment much on the approach to risk management being taken. Not sure if we have any risk experts on here that could help us understand better?

I was in school on Friday. Must have said "come on, that's not 2 metres!" at least 15 times. That is with 11 - 15 year olds.
How they think any type of protective measures can be brought in with small children is beyond me.
We have a staff meeting at 2.30 today where we will find out what our plans are for after half term.

I was just beginning to think is all this really happening still?
My Auntie died of covid in a care home the other night. Not seen her for years but it does bring it home. It's just a sad ending for anybody's life.
I can't stand these people on Facebook saying ohh hindsight is a wonderful thing. Several weeks heads up but blindsight. Then saying Boris is doing a wonderful job. They must be watching a different life unfold before them.

I just don't believe it !!!!
A firm has been making protective visors and may have to pay £5,000 to have them safety approved by the government !!!!

That's not as outrageous as it may soun when you put it like that.

Safety equipment needs to be tested to be sure that it does what it says it does. For any given classification there will be a set of tests that have to be shown to have passed. The government doesn't perform those tests. The manufacturer can either pay a test house to do de testing, or do it themselves under independent supervision. In either case there's a cost associated with the testing.

Sounds like a Daily Mail headline.

My mate has printed all sorts for NHS nobody said anything about safety.

You mean equipment? It all need to be checked otherwise it can be worse than no equipment.

Yes he did some visors too. He's a computer wizard and 3D printing enthusiast. His stuff is better quality than China. He watched things unfold on tommorows world in the 80's and now does inventing himself.

Come on,it's time to send them back now! These 'children' are up to no good now that boredom has set in. Anti-social behaviour is on the rise and they certainly aren't 'social distancing',as i see youths down to infant school children in large groups,either with or without parents.

The teachers have had their nice long holiday. It's only about 6 weeks before the summer holidays begin. Then we'll have another 6 weeks of them to put up with!
