Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

Re: Coronavirus update

Not in Drakeford's case by the looks of it.

School re-opening. So, I was talking to my sister about her son. Their school is opening for 4 weeks, Y1-Y6. However, kids will attend just 1 morning a week (2 days), and there will be no teaching. My sister's conclusion - not worth it (despite her concerns on the effects of his education, 4 morning sessions with no teaching is not going to have an impact on that). Which, I have to say, seems a good decision. It helps protect teachers as we head to September when Social distancing can hopefully be relaxed as cases continue to wane.

However, this needs a real plan. If kids are allowed just 1 or 2 sessions of school a week then that serves no purpose at all. Maybe it needs some out of the box thinking, and maybe the use of offices, night/evening classes to get more regular schooling.

My two have got 2 half days each, so one full day. It’s just really a catch up so when they go back it won’t have been 6 whopping months since they were last there, which could be daunting to many where a month is a long time. I reckon we will have applied the Dutch approach by then anyway and abandonded SD amongst the kids at least.....

Also, on the subject of the R rate in Wales, I saw a chart on the BBC website yesterday which suggested that the rate had gone up in Wales in that it was now ranging between 0.6 and 1 I believe it was. I know there was a link to something suggesting that the R rate had gone down again posted on here yesterday, but they were unofficial figures I believe, has there been any sort of official announcement as to the R rate currently?

**** me, fair play for providing even more incompetence and laughs.

Mind boggling isn't it - all along they've been placing trying to look good above the truth and the ironic thing is that they've just been digging a deeper hole for themselves all the time.

For the amount of occasions it has happened I’ve just assumed it’s a Cummings led strategy given to Boris who makes the perfect foil to deliver to the nation.

Its the civil service that have to get things like the track and trace done, and since Priti Patel and Dominic Cummings have declared war on them, what with Mark Sedwell resigning and Phillip Rutham sacked, I wonder if there is some sabotage going on?

Let’s get this right.

You’re suggesting the civil service are purposely sabotaging the governments efforts to aid the recovery of a country in the midst of a pandemic and thus risking more lives?

****inell.

It just makes me think the reason for lowering the alert level yesterday was probably to try to deflect attention away. I just don’t give them benefit of the doubt for anything anymore.

I think you're wrong on that. The alert level change was decided solely by the 4 National Chief medical advisors / officers jointly. No political interference. Mark Drakeford specifically mentioned this in his briefing yesterday

Serco are trying to sabotage the government?

BOTH

Re: Coronavirus update

BOTH

Ahhhhhh, so it’s not a deliberate act of sabotage by the civil service against Patel, Cummings and the government then.

Glad we’ve got to the bottom of that mystery where they can’t get an app off the ground that’s apparently integral for the nations recovery.

Yeh, I’ve just read JBC recommended it and Chief Medical Advisors approved.
