Off Topic SARS-CoV-2 Covid-19

Ooh steady on there !

 

Many headteachers (looking at Twitter) are making several different plans to return in June. Plans such as only a % of the school/each class in each day, shortened school days, staggered lunch and break times and separate provision for children of Key Workers.

It’s gotta be said - and I’m not saying it because I work in one - that the way many schools prepared for distance learning with little help/guidance from the government has been impressive. They also sorted out the mess of the food vouchers too.

 

Obtuse I may be, but I always have an angle.

 

Teachers are loving Covid_16 because they get extra holidays and don't have to get to work!

Children don't can't get ill by Corona virus. They should be back in school TOMORROW!!!!

Headteachers are just feathering their own bed. No children in school means more money for them as school funding can't be stoped by Ofsted.

Vulnerable kids wouldn't of been vulnerable in the first plaice if teachers and teaching assistants would of done a job right in the first plaice. I've got a daughter in year 5 and she's had no vouchers or nothing!

If schools had done their job in the first place then lockdown wouldn't be broken. I blame the scholl and the lazy teacher.

Food vouchers are pateronizing and don't help. I want cash as no suppermarket sell what I need to keep going!!

The economys collapsingGET CHILDREN BACK TO SCHOOL!!!!!

I do apologise. My account seems to have been hacked by the Mail Online letters app.

 

The normal uk death rate over the last 20 years has averaged at 1600 per day.
Does anyone know what the total daily death rate has been since lockdown?
Insane though it sounds but im guessing our death rate could have fallen due to the covid outbreak.

Mainly due to the lockdowns reduction of normal deaths at work, road accidents, stabbings etc.
Also factor in that a lot of people who are dying their days were sadly already numbered and so their stats in a month/a years time wont show up and have been brought forward.

(just grasping at straws trying to find a bright side to look on)

reality check, isnt it strange how death has become a numbers thing and a lot of us have lost touch that someones aunt or grandad is among the stats.

 

Just looking at the figures.

In the U.K.:

161145 cases
21678 deaths

Antarctica:

0 cases
0 deaths

If that doesn’t amount to proof of criminal negligence, borderline man slaughter on the part of the U.K. government, I don’t know what does.

 

Thanks Donald.

Edit. I'm **** at tech.

 

Those figures are just the tip of the iceberg...

 

Looks like theyve got away" Scot" free !

 

That really is the polar opposite...

 

The average death rate, all causes, is much higher than normal.
In the week ending 17th April, last day the ‘all deaths’ data is available, it was more double the average.

• The provisional number of deaths registered in England and Wales in the week ending 17 April 2020 (Week 16) was 22,351; this represents an increase of 3,835 deaths registered compared with the previous week (Week 15) and 11,854 more than the five-year average; this is the highest weekly total recorded since comparable figures begin in 1993.

i'm sure i saw a graphic showing the effect of someone sneezing in a supermarket aisle and the resultant cloud dispersing and lingering for 4 mins plus.
it seems to me that to wear a mask might be the way forward. but then its so easy for any droplets or virus "aerosols" sticking to the mask to come into contact with your fingers, plus the virus may be able to live on the mask for 8 hours? if it can survive on paper for 8 hours....

mask sprayed with some of trumps disinfectant or even better still disposed of once supplies allow for that.

 

I never believed the "the virus isn't airborne" story in the first place. Aerosols are produced by coughing, sneezing and breathing and are certainly involved in influenza transmission so would be expected to play a part in Covid infection. The part about taking off protective gear could explain a lot of NHS infections. I don't have a lot of faith in WHO either. More basic science on the virus is required to determine how long the virus remains infectious in varying conditions. Could take a while.

 

Just found this

New coronavirus may spread as an airborne aerosol, like SARS

Spain may be forced to tighten the rules allowing people to take their pets out to relieve themselves.

Man busted in Spain for taking goldfish for a walk during lockdown.

Who knows? WHO - what does that stand for?!

 

Surely not!
