Results have came back negative for the Mrs and I, if the kids were contagious when we spent time together we would surely have caught it, I'm really surprised at that result.

 

Only something like 18% of symptomatic cases pass it to another member of the household. And asymptomatic is 1/25th of that.

Thank fuck it's not that contagious then.

I know. Ignore the part where 84.8 million people worldwide have had confirmed cases of it.

Sir Keir Starmer is calling on the government to impose a full national lockdown within the next 24 hours as coronavirus cases continue to surge across the country.

Speaking on Sunday, the Labour leader said the "virus is clearly out of control" and nationwide measures are needed swiftly to halt the spread of the virus.

 

He stopped short of calling for mass closures of schools but said it was "inevitable" that more schools would have to shut.

His comments come just hours after the Prime Minister said "tougher" measures could be needed in the coming weeks to tackle the rapid spread of the virus

Mrs J is a Teaching Assistant in a Primary School. The unions have written to members advising them not to go in. I am recommending that she follows the Union advice as the Government's has been very unreliable.

Seems like a number of Liverpool schools are not opening tomorrow.  KidD's included.  We found out at 6pm tonight.  Luckily, MrsD isn't needed in her work tomorrow.  There will be lots of working parents panicking now.

My missus is a teacher and had the same guidance. Liverpool council suggesting schools should open as planned as we're tier 3. I guess than plan is because we're going for broke to catch the rest of the country in tier 4.

Brothers missus school are back Tuesday, she in tomorrow to be trained to give the test.  She’s no idea how she’s going to separate 30 before and during the testing.

The NEU sent out guidence to teachers on not going in and how the make their intention clear, which had to be with headteachers today by 4:30, so it would have been a reaction to that.

It doesn't have anything to do with controls. He went to some event and posted a pic on Instagram of it with his partner, who is a pharmacist. The New York times then shared this photo, and his partner was fired, presumably for finding out he attended the event. He's just some no mark conservative politician who is mad that Instagram can be seen publicly.

It's been his constant line when he has been pointing out the useless governments failing every week, this is for all to see, he has also put forward ideas which have been ignored and been constantly making them acknowledge their failings, maybe not as strongly as we'd like, but this is a genuine national crisis and hostilities have to be tempered.

 

What would you like him to do, they have an eighty seat majority and a country in paralysis?

 

Should he just call Alex a cunt on Twitter, would that do it?

That would be a far better version of what is going to happen!

 

It's genuinely mad what has been planned.

[Chocoholic]

He's been either voting with the government, in the case of the Brexit deal, or abstaining when he should have been voting against. And at a time when the teaching unions are in dire need of backup, the current leader of the Labour Party, formed by the backing of the Unions, is looking the other way. He's fucking horrific.

Mass Anti lockdown protests in London today led by the nutter/anti Semite Piers Corbyn. Similar scenes in Nottingham. What I don’t understand is that if it all a big conspiracy, how is every government in the world in on it ? Are they all meant to be secretly talking to each other to fake the numbers ? I genuinely don’t understand how it is meant to work. 

Lunatics mate.

He has fought for kids to remain in schools whether it was in line with scientific guidance or not and constantly failed to agree to back teachers if they had to refuse to work due to medical advice. There is also a fair chance that the Long-Bailey sacking as Shadow Education Sec was due to her fundamentally disagreeing with his position on the matter.

Long-Bailey was removed for something altogether different, don't be disingenuous.

 

I agree though his opposition to the school unions is difficult to stomach, though SAGE advice has largely been in line with his response, until now and it will be interesting to see if he is going for full closures.

 

He advocated the 'circuit breaker' as it allowed the schools to be closed and minimised disruption which at the time was best of both worlds.

There were strong rumours they were clashing on the matter for weeks before the nothing Peake article was used to sack her.

Two weeks before the summer holidays, when the virus was apparently in regression, or under control, would be the best time to have clashes about kids going to school?

 

If anything the rumours were that he really liked her attention to detail and policy development, but also a link to the old guard, and really valued her, shame.

It's bonkers isn't it? It's like blaming Nancy Pelosi for not stopping Trump from withdrawing from the Paris accords. Country's fucked. I'm not sure how it's happened but there's probably some twitter analytica style shit involved somewhere.

If only it were that easy. She teaches at the school where all Manchester’s unteachable kids are sent. Put them in a line and there’ll be deaths, pregnancies and probably both.
