Events can be uncancelled, others can go ahead and the football would be back to normal. You're predicting it will all be over by August and whining about it. It would be brilliant if you're right. They cant be “uncancelled” when they’ve already been rescheduled for 2021. It may not completely be over by Aug, but certainly not enough numbers to justify draconian measures. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you need treated like a toddler, when doctors and nurses were shitting themselves at the prospect of what lay ahead you were greeting about everything you weren't allowed to do, you weren't being asked to do anything more than the rest of us but my f**k you've girned your way through every bloody week of it. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because whilst I don't mind working from home some of the time, working solely from home on an extended basis makes my work significantly more difficult. Even if they could get to the stage where we were rotated with other workers to allow us to be in for two days and home for three it would be a great help. It's a personal thing, I just like being in the office more than at home if i'm 'working' and I get that others will be the opposite. ….could also be that being stuck here with the kids, wife and father in law has shown what a few hours at work can do for you though 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're falling into the trap of seeing that the restrictions are effective so calling for an end to the restrictions. Recording zero cases is not the same as having zero cases. There's lots of legitimate concern that chucking life back to normal will undo a lot of the benefit of what has been a very stressful process for a lot of people. It's more sensible to maintain the restrictions for slightly longer than necessary than it is to go back to normal too quickly and end up back where we started, which is a possibility. Imagine the public reaction to Lockdown 2? No live sport for a few months. No gigs for a few months. It's not the end of the world. Without wishing to sound too harsh, you do just need to take a deep breath, stop moaning, and look at the big picture. I'd rather that we take longer to get back to normal and normal actually lasts, rather than just rush back at the first opportunity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Petersburg death tally casts doubt on Russian coronavirus figures City issues 1,552 more death certificates in May than last year, but Covid-19 toll was 171 Seems a bit like English care homes deaths, where we’re meant to believe tens of thousands more than usual died by a weird coincidence, rather than a global pandemic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of countries certainly "at it". The FT was reporting this morning that Spain's "48 hours with no deaths" figure isn't true. Italy also seems to just stopped publishing excess death figures too. And of course here the excess deaths figure is a lot higher than the collated total. Probably not all those are covid deaths, but deaths where covid may have had a secondary impact (deterring people using medical facilities or cancelled treatment etc). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not across the board. Gov have removed the legal responsibility on council to provide it. Extensions and new builds are delayed so capacity isn’t there. Where I am they’ve retained the 1140 funding but obviously on a phased return inline with government guidelines. Literally just depends on your luck in where you were in application process and your local authority. I thought I’d posted about this in parenting thread when it was announced but I didn’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirkcouncil have certainly binned it, a teacher friend says temporarily, the response I got from the council on an unrelated query had some stuff in it. My kids nursery has been doing 1140 for the last 6 months so unsure if they too will punt it in line with the council. The email had some talk about setting up for social distancing which as discussed at nursery level is an absolute joke. Cant believe they are even discussing that. I knew the thing that would cause me greatest covid related anger would be once the next year of education gets hit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH33 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) Think it’s maximum 10 at a time. Even then not a chance social distancing!

Be lucky to get a couple of totally pointless sessions a week in that case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
