London Wanderer Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Some pretty interesting new research coming out tracing the origin of the virus. Pretty much puts to bed the recent theories floating about that it was made in a lab. Also, it appears it was more likely to have originated in intensive animal factory farm than the wet market. Turns out scientists have been raising the alarm for years. https://grain.org/e/6437?fbclid=IwAR1fHUxYbuIH_IKnE0rF4cjDX5gZSB2pDGcLjb3eAK8Sj4aNmQcSdoxBIbw#.XogylbfSSFs.facebook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think generally though only the insane and conspiracy theorists really believe it to be a man made thing, that has been unleashed into the world.............unless of course we're talking about 5G infrastructure, because that could be what's causing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted April 15, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted April 15, 2020 Home schooling is shit. It benefits no-one in reality. Being honest, I was doing maths with my 13 year old lad earlier and the online tutorial was teaching me as well as him. I'm shite at Maths. The kids simply cannot afford to miss 3 months. Keep cinemas/pubs etc closed by all means, but schools need to go back as soon as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unions have written to the Department of Education asking for a plan or guidelines, nothing has come back as yet. The unions would more than likely take a large hand in trying to prevent it as it's simply too risky. A school the size of the one I work in, has 1500 students, and it's impossible to follow social distancing, Primary school would be even worse and harder to follow. I don't expect to be back before September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweep Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Most people I've heard talk about it seem to think no way are schools returning before September. As pointed put above, what that does with regards to child care, who knows, as you'd hope the parents are back at work before September Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s see how that pans out my concern is that If it’s September companies simply won’t get going again once they open workers will be taking more time off for childcare it will have a massive impact Plus the chancellor will have to throw more money in for meal vouchers then you have vulnerable kids so on Edited April 15, 2020 by radcliffe white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After what would have been the May half term. Last 6 weeks of the year. Allows childcare providers that would usually run through school summer hols to open too.
