Weston Super Saint

Lol. I've answered your question but you refuse to answer mine and instead have decided to throw in some school yard insults, seems like the adult response to be fair! According to the stats, about 320 deaths involving Covid-19 were recorded yesterday - the lowest daily total since March apparently - but of those it is not clear how many would have died anyway and how many are above and beyond the statistical norms for this time of year. What 'bit of panic' is this creating that would stop people from returning to work?

Indeed, however, like I said, it's my understanding that the unions have been stating it is unsafe for teachers - hence the full PPE needed to protect them. I understand the potential for children to infect others in their families - although as Hypo has stated earlier there is very little evidence that this has happened so far - but given that the possibility for that will exist until a vaccine has been developed, tested and rolled out, should schools stay closed until that time?

Because it is the infection rate that the Government and their appointed scientists have claimed is the relevant measure with respect to when restrictions should be lifted. The 'death rate' isn't one of the five 'tests' they have set. Surely the 'death rate' is the end result for the minority of infections and isn't therefore a reliable measure for when people should go to work. Why do you think it is relevant as to why people should or shouldn't be going back to work?

This is the second time you've mentioned 'death rate' in the hundreds. Why is that relevant as to why people should or shouldn't be going back to work?

What PPE do you imagine a teacher should wear? It's been widely stated - even on here - that wearing a mask is for the protection of others. Unless I'm misunderstanding the concept here, I assume that the PPE is to protect the teacher from the children, in which case they would need to wear the full monty, just like the NHS treating Covid infected patients - shoe covers, scrubs, apron, gloves, FFP3 mask (which are in incredibly short supply right now!), full face mask, hair covering. Not exactly your usual teacher get up is it?

Sorry Window Cleaner, we're not all coming for the summer after all https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-52682411

Dot the i's, cross the t's and you can never be too careful It was also a parody of the person I quoted who did something very similar

How old was he?

God, undoubtedly. God created man and therefore gave man the ability to create the vaccine, right?

Erm actually it's not inaccurate. By 'nanny' I meant 'nanny' : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanny However, I assume the point you are making is still the same as they work typically in one household with children from that household.....

Yes. To ensure that the post was GDPR compliant and that no 'details that could identify a person' were included.

Not sure if you're 'getting it' to be fair. The law that was enacted has been quite clear from day 1, you are allowed to go to work and continue to work if you absolutely cannot carry out the work from your own home and your place of work has not been instructed to close. So there is nothing to stop nannies and cleaners in private homes from continuing to work. That's the law that was enacted and isn't open for debate. Not sure why you've chosen to pick on nannies and cleaners in houses, what about plumbers, plasterers, painters, decorators, gardeners, you don't appear to be lambasting them....

Yeah, who would do such a stupid thing? https://www.theguardian.com/media/2004/jan/28/davidkelly.hutton9

What is relatively safe? Even once a vaccine is finally found and a full program has been undertaken, the WHO still believe that the virus isn't going to disappear - take measles, mumps and rubella where there is a known vaccine that is freely available yet all three of those diseases still exist. So, what constitutes safe?

I'm sure the statement's owner will be along presently to do just that

To be fair, that's Shurlock's view as well, which is weird really isn't it? Maybe he's suggesting Sir Kier isn't honourabe https://www.theguardian.com/media/2004/jan/28/davidkelly.hutton9

The muppets who have ventured out onto the roads today who have apparently forgotten how to drive over the past 6 weeks!

Truly horrific. Imagine being a 'novice' rider in London, utter carnage!

Looks like it from his Strava post - 6 cracked rear ribs, couple of front ribs, cracked sternum, multiple fractures in shoulder and a small dislocation - back home from hospital but pretty sore I guess!! I'm guessing the bike is not in a good way either!

Corporate manslaughter?

I like the way he just gave up on the press conference and walked away - you can imagine he was saying to himself that he is way too good to interact with the peasants.

Global economic damage that would hit its developers hardest?

Get well soon VFTT! Hope the bike is OK or the pr!ck stumps up for a replacement!

Looks like the consensus is that it would make a pretty **** weapon even at the 'upper bound of the confidence interval'

Next door to Marton Mere and behind ERNIE is where I lived for four years in the late 90's. Enjoyed Blackpool at the time but would probably hate it now! Will the Scots make the trip down - that was Blackpool's bread and butter back in the day!
