That’s why Ive never set foot in one.A great advert for why gyms can't reopen, you can clearly see how much covid would spread off an infected person in a gym.

Tough motivating them for another week/month's homeschooling after the break. My lads sixth class teacher seems to want to keep up with his curriculum as if the kids were in his class. Easily four hours work on Seesaw this morning 😭. Oh I have a full time job as well that doesn't switch off at 2.40pm like the teacher's one does.Ths waiting on an announcement of any lifting of restrictions is so annoying. Kids off school here today after being off all last week
I was always told that if you wanted someone to do something for you, you should ask a busy man.Local man gets up a three o clock in the morning and starts feeding and working with cattle until 9 and then helps the children with their school work . If you met him you would not think he would be the type to do it . It is a big yard with maybe 700 or more cattle and a few other enterprises in it as well . Its the sort of place that has 300 ewes and 1000 lambs bought in on rape as a sidline .
The blind leading the blind comes to mind.More dithering from ministers tonight and two of them saying opposite things, you couldn't make it up.
It might be “ fair going “ if there wasn’t 120K plus deaths from covid there.

As far as I know in the UK a person has to die within on month of being diagnosed for it to be recorded as a covid death. This is not the case in most other countries. Some argue that the numbers in the UK are in fact under reported. There is no doubt the UK have got the vaccination right.i doubt that to be strictly true, it didnt matter what you died of if u tested psoitive for covid it was counted, not a ture reflection. 2 different ways of counting and they were both used depending on effect that was to be shown but in fairness thye are pushing on with offering people the vaccine and getting it done.
I've been looking back over the 14 day case rate per 100k. it seems to be the best measure of the situation.
Today we're at 338 cases per 100k over the last 14 days.
We peaked at 1535 on the 15th of January.
We got down as low as 78 on the 10th of december and the previous peak in the autumn was 309 on the 27th of October.
Looking at those numbers and patterns you'd have to imagine there's no reason schools couldnt reopen by the end of this month and move to level 4 sometime in march.
Pretty much every country is the same, it's a comparable stat.Deaths with covid,not from covid
It’s a great show.A well done and amusing piece on Covid and other issues in Meat Packing plants in the USA .
I heard a bit on some news programme or other this morning that they are going against the advice of one of the pharma companies with their delayed 2nd shot strategy and there's a possibility that the efficacy won't be as high as it would be were the 2nd shot given within the recommended time.Uk Vaccine approach is a gamble, they are pressing ahead giving people their1st shot, but delaying the 2nd shots in favour of getting more 1st shots done. The logic is some research shows that even a single shot is giving some level of protection, the risk is that in a two shot programme, having a delayed 2nd shot can mean that the person won’t actually become fully vaccinated. It’s a calculated risk, hopefully for their sake it will work
