Coronavirus outbreak

[deptfordmarmoset]

I can't believe a head teacher would be guilty of such an ambiguous comment.

I've just spent a while trying to figure out what Williamson said about schools yesterday. I find the man impossible to listen to: it's all a kind of nasal dirge delivered as a sermon that makes me zone out completely. I get the impression that a fair few commentators don't have much more of an idea.

He's just finished a repeat performance on R4. Pretty much identical.

My favourite Twitter exchange from yesterday. It’s still as clear as mud which classes I’m supposed to be providing remote education for and when.
My “leave your homework until Sunday night” approach to life is justified. Some of my more conscientious colleagues have re planned next week 3 times!

I work in a college and pre-planned our opening strategy countless times and I don't intend to make the same mistake again. We are due back on the 5th but obviously that is looking more and more unlikely so I think I will leave my homework until Sunday night and just hope those above me aren't.

Hoping that with more of the country now in T4 that it will be easier to spot law-breakers moving between towns/counties as there will be less traffic on the roads - already the case in SE Lake District.

Also hoping to see the police pulling over unwelcome visitors during these restrictions. There appears to have been some activity on the A590/591 routes from J36/M6 which is encouraging.

Very pleased that the T4 rules specify that outdoor leisure activities can only be carried out near to home (although it would be very helpful if the distance was referenced). I'm all for a keep away from where I live approach and vice-versa - although we've been doing the latter since early this year.

Sounds almost like siege mentality but I think that's where we are.

The only thing that puzzles me is why South Lakeland is in T4 and not T3?

Population - 103000.

Total cases to 30 Dec - 2800

Deaths to 18 Dec - 203

Presumably as it has been lumped in with the rest of the county - worse figures in Barrow & Carlisle which are not South Lakeland.

Yep, politically and admin wise they place Cumbria in a single block. Plus I guess it limits travel.

Perfect example of the people who don't care. Went to local grocers for paracetamol for wife. As I arrive, guy does a big u-turn in the road to park badly outside the door, jumps out and saunters in (sans mask). In a very loud voice at the counter "Ehhhh, can ah huv 4 bottles o' Glen's vodka, 2 bottles o' Grouse and four slabs (24 cans each) o' Tennents hen". Something tells me he's having a party tonight.

Communication from my headteacher tells me that, from Monday, I am doing live online lessons via Microsoft Teams for all year groups. I am not expected in school so am teaching from home.
Really annoying for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I have left a load of stuff at school that I could do with having at home and secondly, there is a plumber coming on Monday so the water will be off. Was hoping to just hand over a key, go to work and leave him to it.

I'm sure @Drago will correct me on the terminology but, if you are told that your actions could result in someone's death and yet you continue with the behaviour, isn't that at least potential manslaughter? Should we start locking up some of these idiots? I'm fed up with hearing folk banging on about "my civil liberty" and "my human rights" etc. Time to think about the greater good and stop being so selfish

Take his car number and file an anonymous online report to the Covid report line
