0 - 34 slight drop from 9 to 7 but big increase in 25 - 64, 15 cases to 37. About 150% increase in that catergory in a week is a lot even if the numbers are still relatively low.

But all numbers have increased, notably 700% increase in the 85 and older group

Thought they were trying to reduce the amount of people visiting other households and you want classmates to go over to other class mate's houses?

Yeah we should send 30 kids from 30 different households to an 8*8 meter room for half the day, that sounds like a better idea than having a kid go to another classmates home to use the internet.......

Yeah you are right,the parent of the child with the internet should be responsible for the education of someone else's child!!

The pubs remained closed so colleges/schools could open and now pubs open and colleges basically closed. Crazy.

bodhrandude · 25-09-2020 04:22PM

Is there a presser at 5.30 or 6.

Nope, we now seem to be down to just the one on Wednesdays.

I meant a general daily press release of new case figures, not briefings.

Yeah, if the schools close we'll have got beyond Level 5 on the government's plan, so the virus will be rampant and we'll be in a Mar/April level lockdown.

And then the school will say "Don't worry Sean, Jimmy lives beside you and he has a laptop, you can go and do school in his house, and Jimmy's Mam will mind you".

"Da f&ck I will" says Jimmy's Mam. "I'm trying to home-school my own two kids along with holding down my job. I can't even see my own parents, so why exactly would I let a kid from another household into my house every day? Because the DoE can't get their sh*t together to implement a common home-learning school plan? Oh, in that case, of course he can come over".

Before laughing hysterically and slamming the door in your face.

I think this is a period of "trial and error" everywhere, to see what level of overall restrictions are required to allow education and healthcare, the priorities, to function.

Colleges don't lose all their money when they close the campus. Students are capable of remote learning.

Littleredcar · 25-09-2020 04:31PM

Schools are open but with very few teachers as in isolation due to being close contacts

Oranage2 · 25-09-2020 04:31PM

Could open schools and/libraries and let the poor kids without computers or internet go there and have classwith enough social distancing

Yes, Nolan made reference to this idea the other day. As has been mentioned on this thread this is all still very new for everyone.

It won't play out like that at all. If the schools close again it will be a massive play date for all.

Colleges closed ???

They were always to go online for 90% of the first semester at least.

They were only ever to go into college if it was absolutely needed such as lab work.

Many colleges announced weeks ago that they would be moving largely online for remainder for 2020 some for the entire college year

It's what they did in the UK isn't it? Schools never closed completely. Children of essential workers and those identified as "at risk" could go into school? I'm not sure how many actually availed of it though.

Do I've to come up with every idea?

There will be parents that will take responsibility and get their kids computers and internet.

There will be the other crowd that expect the government to pay for, raise, educate, feed and clothes their kids.

I can only guess which category you fall into.

hynesie08 · 25-09-2020 04:39PM

What school did you all go to that had a library?

Students are now paying for a vastly inferior college/learning experience. Understandable given whats going on but I have sympathy for them. I am starting a course myself next week and Im pretty disappointed by it but its not going well in Scotland and Ireland does not seem prepared for it at all.
