I've said many times that full school closures should be the last thing we look to implement. I just want honesty and transparency for risks of transmission and the real reasons decisions are being taken.

I'm just fuckingwitcha.

One thing I noted from the FM press conference was when asked about the school closures in Northern Ireland she said the prevelance there was 2.5 times that of Scotland.  Does that mean if cases and prevelance continues to rise we should expect a change of policy on schools?

This individual looks after children? 

Shared from brother - even I had a chuckle.

One disaster on this thread not enough for you?

Do you have a link for that stat? Seems incredible. Scotland has had about 230 deaths of people under 60.

Sure, it was a study by the United Hospital Fund and Boston Consulting Group: https://uhfnyc.org/publications/publication/covid-19-ripple-effect-impact-covid-19-children-new-york-state/ 

I made a mistake though, I thought it was NYC but it's New York State. So the population is nearly 20 million, rather than the 8-ish I said.

Travellers from areas with high covid rates banned from travelling to Wales 

 

 

This will be fun

I don't get the fuss about this, they banned non essential travel in or out of Welsh hotspots weeks ago. It would be daft if they didn't apply the same rules to visitors from English hotspots.

Can confirm that the test is not pleasant! Walk in site and had to administer it myself. Results apparently in 24-42hrs. 

What did this guy get banned for?

I won't quote it to give the Mods less work when they have to delete it, but that is horrific and insensitive from @DeeTillEhDeh

But aren't you a mod? Can't you delete it?

14th September 51 Covid patients in hospital in Scotland including 6 in ICU. One month later 570 in hospital including 49 in ICU. Thank goodness this public health crisis is firmly behind us.

  Edited to correct previous typo. It’s 570 in hospital not 750 as I typed earlier. Still a worrying increase.

Guy I know is waiting on results from a Covid test but is almost certain he's got it. He's a fit guy in his late 30s and says it is brutal. Constant pain -sometimes agonising - in his chest and lungs and struggling to breathe. 

It doesn't sound particularly pleasant.

Also, to address points made a few pages ago:

The reason schools are still Monday to Friday 9-3 despite massive increases in technology is largely a logistical / childcare one rather than an educational one.

I don't think so. 

People who have the wealth to select any model of education/childcare still overwhelmingly select direct teaching in schools five (or six) days a week.
