Schoolkids having a tough time according to this. What's the view of the teaching folk on this board? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-57640397
We’ve been really lucky to only lose one bubble this entire time and it happened a few days before the Easter break so they didn’t miss much school time. Most kids are more resilient than what these “experts” are giving them credit for. They’ve been working their backside off too (not to “catch up” like the government keep spouting about because who are they catching up to?). Side note - the tutoring programme is hopeless. Kids taken out of maths lessons with their actual teacher to do maths virtually with some random person clicking through a scheme that doesn’t match the National Curriculum. We had some 8 year old kids being taught averages in maths the other week - they shouldn’t be taught it according to the National Curriculum until they are 11. They obviously didn’t need to do multiplication in their main lesson anyway
They reduce the chances of you getting seriously ill and reduce the chances of you getting infected in the first place. Hope this helps. Sigh.
There you go... ‘Its Just Flu bro’...they once sniggered. Meanwhile this Pathogen is learning...very quickly. Wait and see... Allam’s OUT.
Around half the population of the UK, those most vulnerable to COVID-19, are set to be offered a COVID booster vaccine from September to increase their protection ahead of winter.
BREAKING: Current plan for July 19 - announced next week ❌ One-Metre rule scrapped Masks not compulsory ⚽️ Venues at full capacity All legal restrictions gone (excluding self-isolation if you have Covid)
I don't think so. Cases are high, but hospitalisations and deaths are low and as long as this remains the case, we'll carry on regardless.
Just looking up infection rates etc in places where I have family. I saw what I expected as in the lower the infection rate per 1000, the higher the first and second vaccination takeup was. Except in Hull! Relatively low infection rate (90/1000), but also relatively low first and second jab rate (70%/53%).
But aren’t infection rates now redundant as a measure? Deaths & hospitalisations are the more important metric & they haven’t increased
