Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Well that’s a relief. And Hancock said the risk of catching it in offices was also very small. It’s a wonder anyone caught the damn thing in the first place, given how seemingly low risk it is.

I think we've established that gyms and pubs are where the murders occur.

Didn't Hancock himself catch it while working in an office?

well sure, but the odds were really low, one in a million. Very low risk. Same for Boris. And Chris Whitty.

The thing is, the rest of the comment does fall back on data from around the world, which by and large has supported the view that schools aren’t a major source of infection. That does make more sense. Are they 100% safe? No, but what exactly is?

I do think in the grand reckoning we will need to look at the start of the outbreak and determine what caused the massive spread, I often wonder how interlinked the mass hysteria to shop at the beginning of this and viral spread are.

Yeah, but stretching the truth beyond breaking point got him there in the first place.

Been contacted yet? Hahahaha haha....

Well the joint letter from the Chief Medical Officers was geared more around the low risk of serious harm to children, which we’ve known since the start. But yeah, I accept that nothing is zero risk, and it’s now about risk management, rather than avoidance.

The letter also says that data showed teachers were the more likely cause of transmission, but that does seem at odds with Hancock saying that offices are low risk.

Day 5 in the quarantine house, and nope, not heard a dicky bird from anyone to check my whereabouts.

If the last few weeks have told me anything, I feel it's now quite acceptable to scrap schooling altogether and just give every young person some A* grades and be done with it.

A kick in the teeth to the rest of us who quit masturbating to late night babestation tv for weeks to ensure they revised enough for their exams.

Incidentally, as @Disgruntledgoat is free to go about his business in Belgium, I trust he's leaving a trail of wanton destruction behind so vast that even Poirot would struggle to put the pieces together.

to be fair, given the unique circumstances for those young people, I’d rather over-grade than under-grade.

Word in the German media currently is that the majority of cases are coming from private households, e.g. private parties, family gatherings, weddings, things like that. As well as care homes, religious gatherings etc.

Why? My niece was expecting Cs in her A-levels and ended up with As, despite not taking the exam. Very fortunate for her, but hardly seems very fair.
