Still only in two days a week so fewer in her class at one time, but they're not expected to social distance, it'll be small "pods" of staff and students (her whole class is only 8 kids, so will be only 4 in a group) and if one person is ill then the whole "pod" stays home for two weeks (or until a test confirms it isn't Covid).

Its far from ideal but its better than the current situation where frankly some kids (and its the most vulnerable kids, who are already behind) simply aren't doing any school work at all.
It's a generation brought up on tech so they should have no issues with being in a virtual classroom

meanwhile I have to grapple with Teams and Zoom to for my work and have to put my face on when normally I wouldn't bother

It really annoys me when they try to spin a positive on yet more deaths, another 135 to to this virus in 24 hours.

Of the ones they actually tell us.

Every one of them, leave possibly, children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, other family, friends and neighbours.
Left grieving because of this virus, of the loss of their loved ones before their time.

Around 100+ on average still dying.
They are real people losing their lives.

It's just been said on the news, one of today's deaths is a baby too.

I don't get where anything positive can be found in this.
Things are getting better it seems because they are getting worse by the day, much more slowly.

Unbelievable to me, sorry.

if they had rushed to release the app and it had security issues and/or data privacy issues there would have been hell to pay. Apps take time to develop, i would rather they got it right than rush something out to meet a deadline that is meaningless anyway. Track and trace is just not worth it until we have under 1000 infected.

That's exactly what they did though. They released it when it wasn't ready because Johnson said it was ready, so rather than admit to a mistake, they made another mistake.

The security issues will always be there because of who they gave the contract to.

I said before the virus hit the UK properly that I couldn't imagine a more incompetent minister in charge than Hancock. Completely untrustworthy

Hancock has to resign surely in a couple of months when the pandemic stage has passed.

So many people seem happy with ‘just’ a few hundred deaths each and every yet that’s the equivalent of a couple of huge jet-liner full off passengers going down EACH day !

Well yes ... if we’re being told the truth about the numbers .. I’ve never trusted politicians so politicians with stats is a no-no for me .. you can make stats sing and dance to any tune you want..

As I’ve said before ... if things haven’t gone tats-up in a a couple of weeks I’ll be much happier .

Indeed, strong points there
The death of any 13 day year old child is tragic.
I find it equally concerning that a 13 day old child has died of this virus along with those other deaths of people too.

They are people, it seems a colder attitude is creeping in as to the deaths now.
Because the deaths are around 100+ a day.

I guess we need to see if there was any other reasons this baby's life was lost too.
The news was the baby had no other health conditions and was positive for this virus.

So no doubt it looks the major reason the baby's life was lost.
Massively concerning it is and a tragedy too.

Daily Mail and The Times ripping into the tories on the papers. Just less then a year after they advocated the public to vote for them. Astonishing
