pub car king Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Write off exams and pretty much a good bit of the curriculum. I have a 9 and a 5 year old being home schooled. I work shifts 4 on 4 off when it's a week day I'm their unqualified teacher trying to split my time between the 2 of them as well as all the other shite from day life and keeping them away from my wife who is working at home. When I'm at work my wife has even less time to give to their education. We are not the only ones struggling with this and realistically when the kids go back they are going to all be at different stages of where they need to be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite clear that hospitals both down south and up here are at breaking point - but the case numbers are dropping so hopefully side relief will come in the next few weeks. Add on the number of those vaccinated and we should be seriously looking at reducing restrictions after February. Once the hospital numbers start falling, there will be a desperate desire to start easing restrictions. But I'm starting to read more about the need to take it slower than most would like. A few articles from the past few days about restrictions: UK 'nowhere near' looking at lifting Covid lockdown restrictions Lifting lockdown in February would be ‘disaster’, warns Sage scientist There's a Times article "Mutation could undo Covid vaccination progress if lockdown is ended, expert warns" but as it's behind a paywall, here's a thread about it on twitter. That aside, the talk of vaccines by end of Feb/Mar for priority groups ignores the fact that they'll only have had the first of a two-dose vaccine, so it'll really be three months later before the priority groups are vaccinated. That's if, the 12 week gap works out as they hope.... Edited January 18, 2021 by s_dog -6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 John Edmunds has zero credibility and Martin McKee is an 'Independent SAGE' oddball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh ok, not sure why I'm taking your word for it, but I've never heard of either of them to be honest.... when I saw one was part of independent Sage, I did wonder, but the other guy is part of Sage isn't he? And it's not like either of them are a bit mad like Yeadon or Young. So do they maybe have a bit of a point? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 1 hour ago, Cyclizine said: In our Tertiary Centre of Excellence we currently have about a third more Covid inpatients than we did at the peak of the first wave: patients do not bounce back quickly from this. Many are left with significant functional impairment and are awaiting community care packages or placements. Even with case numbers going down, we will still be admitting people at a higher rate than we are managing to discharge for a while. Not sure if you saw the stuff being highlighted last night on this thread of a near 30% readmission rate of those surviving a hospital admission for Covid. Is that your impression of things here? I did wonder if the even bigger pressure on beds down south was driving early discharges which then fed into what looks like a dreadful readmission rate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's certainly a fairly high readmission rate. I couldn't tell you if it's 30%, but I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case. I can probably find out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect you don't need any additional work at the moment. There was an article in the Guardian about the figures which would seem to be NHS England Readmission rate. Edit to add the article confirms the paper has not yet been peer-reviewed. Edited January 18, 2021 by Distant Doonhamer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I reckon the vast majority on here will agree, but even freedom-loving Johnson today was saying people need to be aware it will be a slow and steady approach to reopening. That's only because they have fucked it up several times already when opening things up, and what he says now bears absolutely no relevance to what he might say in a day, week or month's time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I think the vaccines are actually being underplayed in all honesty, and most scientists do believe they will have a positive effect in reducing transmission, which again I think is being downplayed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it will also trash businesses and livelihoods if we continue to lag behind the community protection levels required to i) reduce hospital pressures and ii) launch restrictions into the bin as soon as possible. Hi. I read that twice and didn't really grasp what you were alluding too but I read it a third time and then I had a lightbulb moment because unfortunately my bulb blew in the living room leaving the monitor illuminated which actually accelerated the reading/ thinking process. And I put it to you virginton that you are a man with very poor taste in tinned soup and you want a private reg plate but you can't quite afford it and you're wrong on the figures because 1/2 of deaths are in care homes, and adopting the Boris approach would lead to a 3/4 of a month delay in vaccinating 100% of care homes. And that's not my opinion, that's statistics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
