My kids are currently year 3 and 5 so weren’t on the list to go back on June 1st, however, we had an email from the school today to say they won’t be opening on the 1st June as previously stated. They are working towards potentially opening 15th June but it’s under constant review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Priti has said “as I already said” about 6 times now. She looks like it’s taking all her energy not to launch a verbal attack on everybody she sees as inferior to her. She looks like the worst possible type of boss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was to underpin the system to provide security and not a cash injection. Most of it was actually never needed in the pure sense, but it did stop the panic. You are right. £50bn for the bank recapitalisation scheme and £50bn to buy RBS. I guess those two amounts happened in separate months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 It wouldn’t be a great leap of imagination to think she could be an awful person, a spiteful colleague and a thoroughly nasty boss. If I was on the jury I’d be shouting guilty as she entered the court. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 10 hours ago, HanoiVillan said: Went back to read this article again, and noticed this humdinger: 'Asked what her updated estimate for the Infection Fatality Rate is, Professor Gupta says, “I think that the epidemic has largely come and is on its way out in this country so I think it would be definitely less than 1 in 1000 and probably closer to 1 in 10,000.” That would be somewhere between 0.1% and 0.01%.' 55,000 x 10,000 is 550 million. The population of the UK is less than 70 million. It's hard to respect to somebody's opinion when they're in the media making errors like that. I think she disputes how many fatalities attributed to Covid-19 are actually caused by the virus. So not as obvious a mistake necessarily as would appear. 0.01% does sound very, very low though, I agree. 0.1 pretty plausible still? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take whatever they say with a big pinch of salt. My dad read the Express for years and years. It is absolute, total guff.

snowychap Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Tens of thousands of coronavirus tests have been double-counted, officials admit Quote Diagnostic tests which involve taking saliva and nasal samples from the same patient are being counted as two tests, not one. The Department of Health and Social Care and Public Health England each confirmed the double-counting. This inflates the daily reported diagnostic test numbers by over 20 per cent, with that proportion being much higher earlier on in the crisis before home test kits were added to the daily totals. Almost 350,000 more tests have been reported in Government data than people tested since the start of the pandemic. The discrepancy is in large part explained by the practice of counting salvia and nasal samples for the same individual twice. ...more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
