Re: Coronavirus update

My niece is doing a uni course to become a teacher, for various reasons ( the uni and then Covid ) she hasnt been in since last Oct

Is that because they just send you off to various schools for training/experience etc? That’s a right shame....we need more younger teachers!

Re: Coronavirus update

It doesn't have to be if people eat earlier. No one can make them but they can.

I was speaking to a restaurant owner this morning ( he is a customer of mine ) and he was moaning that the later " sitting " is the better earner, better wine sold is the main extra, i felt for him, but i did point out that if he could get people in eating 30 mins earlier he could get 2 " sittings " in, he moaned some more and i reminded him its got to be better that a " full lockdown " and zero customers, he then had to decide to take the Range Rover, Tesla or Merc, it was a tough choice

They are mostly online anyway? Only final year students like medics who have to have face to face are

So University students don't socialise and visit Student Unions to drink and eat. How times have changed. A Scottish University has 500 students in quarantine.

I doubt the student union in Cardiff is open, in fact it’s being rebuilt so no worries there. One big factor on keeping pubs open is where do the 50,000 students in Cardiff hang out if they close them all? Pubs or house parties?

Re: Coronavirus update

The record for new cases in a day for the UK is 6,201 recorded in May, but there were 6,178 today with 37 deaths. Although it's hardly a like for like comparison because there are so many more tests now, that's a rise which puts on the same sort of course as Spain and France experienced recently.

Re: Coronavirus update

Moves fast this virus, one of my team caught it off a contractor, a few days later around 30 of us have a cold. My team member has a headache has a test which comes back positive. No cough. no sore throat, no breathing issues, no temperature, no loss of taste but a positive test. Seems the symptoms are random. I've been off since last Tuesday, got wiped out & spent 3 days sleeping with total fatigue but again none of the "look out for" symptoms. My 10 days is up in a couple of days.

Beware, the symptoms are not obvious, it's a different response person by person.

What industry are you in. 30 infected. Were you indoors or outdoors. That sort of infection rate would suggest being in a pub with someone with it and your fecked 2 metres or not.

Re: Coronavirus update

Everybody out by 10pm. That's a 33% reduction in sittings for most restaurants. What would you call it?

Not everybody out, just stop serving alcohol at that time. People can still enjoy their meals after that and finish a bottle purchased before 10.

Apologies I must have misunderstood that the new rules meant that every customer was out of the door when the doors locked at 10pm.

Looks like the industry is over-reacting if that's the case

No I don't think you did.
Drakeford only clarified it at a press conference this morning. Same with pubs, last drink 10 but people can then leave in dribs and drabs to avoid a bunch standing the the pavement outside at 10 PM all together.

Living in England might have something to do with it. It's such a shock when politicians clarify an announcement in Parliament and an address to the nation these days!
