Slow news day? The real deal? End of the world?

Hang on, Sweden are above us on that list, that can't be right?

I can't see their nearest neighbours either 

How odd

The U.K. tests more people as a ratio of the population than any other country. Twice as many as Germany for example. Our figures are probably skewed by that fact also. 

I bet Swedish Corona is dead fit though

1,041 deaths today

Fckinell

This is from when daily case numbers were 35k or thereabouts.

Hopefully treatments have improved or it follows that a doubling of case numbers means 2,000 could be a daily death toll in a fortnight.

For a made up disease, it's creating more than enough havoc.

It is really bad considering a raft of old folk were taken out in wave 1.

Hospitals are now in serious shit in the SE and NW.

1st time since this started that the ON THE DAY FIGURE announcement is over 1000.........

 

I know some folk will say 1224 in April, but it wasn't announced as that figure in April.....

3 hours of live online teaching today, few teething issues but hats off to the school and teachers, they’ve nailed it.

I had to invent my own mythical creature (I came up with a CrocoDilloPig) and do my 7 times table.

Im knackered.

 

We used to refer tonot particularly good looking women as crocodillopigs.

Before I became a woke bender like, obviously

But Bolton should be tier 2 were the cries but a few weeks ago from some quarters and no rationale for increasing the tier?

we're running at 1 death per 35 cases since day one, as an overall.

2k deaths per day in 2-3 weeks ?

And community. Saying that, I'm glad I'm not on a ward.

Trump got ridiculed for such logic in the media pal. 

Steady on. 

Good to see some of the forms have been removed from those volunteering to give jabs.

No longer have to worry about terrorist training. 

We should definitely have started vaccinating months ago

What did it say on the form ? 
                                                                            
Tick this box if you've had terrorist training.

Jokes aside, it's good news this.

Not sure anyone disputed that fact. But two wrongs don’t make a right. Or did your mum never tell you that?

I'd expect grammar schools with few kids in school can deliver pretty good live lessons.

If I get rota'd at home anytime this lockdown I'll deliver live to every class, I really enjoy planning the interactive stuff and thinking of ways to check they're getting it.

At the moment we're all staff in school as lots of kids been tested and coming in. I'm with them during the day so the best I can manage is recording videos the evening before. This part closure is inefficient to say the least in terms of catering for those at home.
