They’re actually letting randoms inject people? Or have I been whooshed 

If you had a kid with diabetes you’d get the training and be off. I think couples going through IVF have to do it too.  How hard can it be?

Dunno and I’m not about to find out, no randoms coming near me with a needle.

A little of the don't ask, don't tell.

 

Thought it was irresponsible, especially as cases were rising at the time and we find ourselves where we are now.

Ok fair enough.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Either way, I want to see plenty of people get the jab before me, just in case it turns someone into the elephant man or something.

I used to have to inject myself weekly, it's dead easy and stabbing someone else would be even easier.

Wife (primary teacher) has been told she (and all staff) will be in full time with about 15 kids per class. 

 

What lockdown? 

How the fuck is that happening? So 50% of kids are going in?

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Tuesday that 2% of the population in England, over 1 million people, is infected with the coronavirus, as reported by Reuters.

 

 

At this rate we'll have herd immunity before the vaccine .

With the injection, it's not like they have to find a vein or any shit.

 

It's roughly 3 finger-widths (or whatever) down from the top of your shoulder.

 

If you miss by a few centimetres, it'll make fuck all difference. I'd imagine if you stuck it in the wrong shoulder completely, you'd still be grand.

What if you jammed it up your hoop? Asking for a friend.

I see the Royal Mint has just produced some HG Wells-themed coins, including a pound coin with a FOUR legged TRIPOD. There's something very Britain, 2021 about that.

You're never "stuck in Ireland". You're blessed to be there.

True.

But on this occasion, putting your mother in the ground - well before time - in the middle of this trickle little epidemic, while being separated indefinitely from your immediate family on the other side of the world... well, even a one hat restaurant and some fine pints of Guinness near the Clifffs of Moher apparently didn't have the same ring to them as usual.

The full section is wonderful, he gets spoken down to and patronised throughout like the stunted little simpleton he is.

 

You can tell both hold him in contempt and they don't hide it as they destroy every stupid argument he makes. My personal favourite is where he starts taking about the doctor, who's name escapes me now, who all the conspiracy peddlers were quoting at the time, begins with S, and all his ideas were debunked and it turned out he had no skin in the game, nor expertise. They just rolled their eyes, beautiful.

 

 

 

EDIT: Sikora, that's the prick.

[Mudface]

Hopefully that's the last time this dangerous prick gets a platform on national TV or press.

Nah, he's tv gold, he'll be on as long as there's stupid shit to say, sadly.

 

If you have a spare five minutes have a read of the Lockdown Sceptic 'Lonely Heart Section' it's delightfuly mad.

What him and his ilk do is water down the legitimate information from fully qualified medical personnel that actually work in the field of pandemics/viruses and also have access to the relevant data. 

 

There should be a way to question what we are told, we shouldn't immediately believe it all and that is healthy. Respectable media, if such a thing exists these days, are there to do that and that's where the free speech on this should be, not in some tossers bedroom on YouTube. 

 

It hasn't helped that for as long as I can remember most politicians are lying little shit weasels that refuse to give a clear answer. Is it any wonder a large swathe of the public have little to no confidence in what they say, do and ask us to do? Especially when some of them aren't following the advice themselves. I'd have a lot more respect for them if they passed a law that mean't any politician found breaking the lockdown rules was automatically sacked without a pension.

Yeah the government have changed the 'critical worker' definition so a lot of schools are up to 50% attendance. It's a spiteful move by Johnson and Williamson.

We're at about 1/3 attendance at the minute. 4 pods. All teachers in for their usual days but with 1 day working from home. 

 

We're expected to supervise the kids in the class, maintaining social distancing and safe practise, whilst also monitering the work that the kids are doing at home and providing support and feedback. On top of which we need to speak to each of our class on the phone once a week (more for vulnerable children) and continue to plan for the online work across multiple year groups. 

 

It's completely unsustainable.

Cheers, that'll give me something to do on my coffee break.

 

On Young and his ilk, it's the same as the US where networks heavily featured Trump as it boosted ratings. At some point, networks and social media sites have to start taking moral responsibility for what they're broadcasting.

Oh yeah - my wife is teaching kids in class and kids working at home too as you say. I'm not sure how you're supposed to do that.

 

In my day school was a place where you were educated, nowadays it seems to be baby sitting and social services and generally looking after kids because parents aren't up to it. 

 

It's a double whammy in her school as the deputy head is determined to have as many kids in so she can prove how great the school is. And she thinks staff are being paid full time so should be in full time. 

 

I thought the idea was for as many people to be home as possible for as long as possible to prevent the spread of the virus. Seems not.

Yep.

 

The problem here isn't these people, it's the push for ratings by any and all means.
