FFS just give the kids finishing school this year some flexibility in terms of their grading - who cared if they get an A instead of a B? They've had their education massively disrupted and frankly doing anything other than leaning towards the generous side would be abhorrent.

Basically the only thing grades are needed for is access to higher education. It's not like they're going to get there "when they shouldn't have" and then somehow become an incompetent professional... if they don't have the intelligence or ability to gain a higher qualification, they won't gain a higher qualification. There is literally no real issue with a couple of years of inflated grades during a global pandemic.

Netherlands: the 4 other test events have been sold out within no time, 1.000 people a event so 4.000 tickets of people who are willing to be test subjects at stand up comedy performances, music festivals, or a football match

exciting times now


all must stick to the strict rules, must wear a face mask at all times and remain in their own 'bubble' 1.5 metre distanced from any of the other 'bubbles'

now also more supervision on employees (given at first experiment a employee who tested positive as only person to test positive)

We'll get there once we have vaccinated all the groups at
risk.
Won't take long.

It's in a great part why they are down.
I do think the vaccines help.
Although the vaccines don't stop you getting it, they just help avoid very serious hospitalisation and probable death.

They don't stop likely long covid either as not even time or data exists for to assess that.

Yes though, the figures are down, as from March to June last year because of lockdown mostly, I agree with that.

The vaccine is definitely helping.
Without it the numbers would be much higher, because if the variants.
