It’s a loaner.

The pupil contract (I do solemnly swear that this device will be returned to school in pristine condition when I leave, ha ha ha) was circulated last week, along with a menu of parts that might break, and the charge for repairing them. The devices have started coming home this week (youngest has just got hers) and they have LEA asset numbers on the bottom. The startup screen also states that it’s a “managed device”. She doesn’t care, because they haven’t blocked Youtube :rofl:

So our LEA’s Covid resilience plan is well underway - Chromebooks as of now replace handwritten homework, and a lot of handwritten class work as well. It won’t be long before kids all forget how to write. :disturbd: At least it’ll be easier if her class is forced to self-isolate at any point.

Re: Coronavirus
 

The daily infection has remained pretty steady since late June 800 < 1000 ( apart from 1 week).

The daily hospital admin rate is 70 - 90, 280 admins a day for heart attacks........

Daily death rate....4.....about the same as road deaths..........

Can we all agree to just get on with it and not being scared of our shadow.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Been shift work, home in time to catch a little of the main news . .

4 more deaths today from Covid 19

then struck by the absurdity of:

. . . the sentence below it which read similar to* "deaths under any circumstance within 28 days of a positive Covid 19 test"

Just pointless and a waste of time reporting those figures, keeps the statisticians happy I guess :rolleyes:


*can't recall exact wording

Re: Coronavirus
 

Probably 4 road deaths Pierre mentions.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Yes, but heart attacks and road deaths aren’t infectious....

If you (well, me anyway) visit someone’s house, you’re unlikely to give them a heart attack or a road death..

Re: Coronavirus
 

Depends on who I visit .. :erm:

Re: Coronavirus
 

It's not about being infectious or not, it's about the reporting of Covid deaths.

If I had flu and got knocked down by a bus, would flu be the cause of death?

If I had asthma and was fatally stabbed during a mugging, would asthma be what killed me?

If I had asymptomatic covid 19, but got electrocuted by bad wiring in my guitar amp, I'd be reported as a Covid death . .

With that face :shocked:

Re: Coronavirus
 

Yes let's just become blase about the whole Covid thing..:rolleyes:

Re: Coronavirus
 

4 road deaths per day with the roads operating normally, millions of vehicle movements per week, is hardly comparable with the restrictions that have been necessary to get Covid transmission down to its present level.

Re: Coronavirus
 

But these deaths are so low because the peak of the pandemic is past and is precisely why we felt safer to slowly open up again. At the peak we were seeing deaths of over 1000.

Anyway I think for now we should open up and try to 'live with the virus' but keep an eye on cases to ensure we don't see what we saw in April.

Re: Coronavirus
 

how many road deaths would there be without,driving standards,the highway code ,seat belts ,air bags , car safety standards.......... it took a lot of time and effort to get road deaths down to today's low levels.

Re: Coronavirus
 

So to keep Covid deaths at the present rate you’re saying we should keep the safety standards that have been imposed on people’s pedestrian activity - social distancing, face masks etc?
