If you can't understand the difference, that's on you. I can understand the difference. It’s indicative of your fantasy land that everyone with a career is dedicated to their job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is probably a good case that early measures were insufficient and late, granted. But if there was never any danger, as you suggest, then why would the government have needed to do any more? For the same reason they built extra hospitals. They panicked at the 500,000 figure and couldn't risk not having the additional capacity. Nightingale didnt open until about a week after the peak, and had taken just 41 patients by the 24th. I find it incredibly hard to believe a disease with an average time from infection to death of 24 days or there or there abouts would peak sharply just 18 days after lockdown started. Especially when, during that period supermarkets were rammed, and there was little in the way of social distancing outside or inside them like there is now. It seems too soon. I also find it incredible that we are still counting cases from March in a death total announced on 12th May as having died "in the last 24 hours" It's what leads to people going mental at the thought of easing lockdown when "hundreds are dying each day" which, whilst true, the actual number has been around 200 per day for over a week (around 13% of expected daily deaths) and has started to fall quite sharply over the last 5 days If the same method of counting is applied up here it would be interesting to see Edited May 12, 2020 by Todd_is_God 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are not dedicated to your job then you shouldn't be near a classroom, a scalpel, the design on a jet engine, the list is endless. There are plenty of other jobs where you can go home at 5pm on the dot. Those folk should pick one of them. What about fantasists? When do they you get time off? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 1 minute ago, oaksoft said: For the avoidance of doubt, in my opinion, when teachers are asked to step up in the next couple of months, they will do so in overwhelming numbers because they'll feel it's their duty to do so. The clock watchers will stand out like a sore thumb. It's way beyond time that we weed them out of the profession for the sake of our kids learning. Who are the clock watchers and how many of them have you complained about "for the sake of our kids" over you adult life? What were the outcomes of said complaints? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 1 minute ago, oaksoft said: You don't know what a clock watcher is? Have you ever had paid employment in your life? You are inventing an endemic problem in the teaching profession that you cannot provide context for, and claiming it can be solved by the use of unpaid overtime. How many teachers have you encountered whom you had a problem with, and how did you resolve it? It's a simple concept. You are suggesting theres a problem that needs rooted out. I am saying any changes to teachers terms and conditions should be negotiated and agreed on, and would say the same for literally any other profession going. And that teachers have the right to reject. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hate to think that that a teacher was marking up work come the end of their 35 hour week and there was a still a few assignments needing checked. Surely he / she would spend a bit longer to get them don for the kids' sake 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Nah. That's me loused for the day. My shift is finished. The vaccine will need to wait" They will probably be going home when there shift is finished. If they do need to stay I imagine they would be asking for overtime. And you also clearly have zero idea how scientific research works.
