Interesting although you kinda need the incidence of those things amongst the general population (or adjusted for the age of victims) as I'd guess at least that diabetes is a lot more common that either of the final two, and dementia is probably an indicator of the advanced age of most victims?

Busy out today. Most are using their brains but an odd few are being morons with the social distancing, or lack of it. Was on a bike ride today and some twat rode past me so close that we probably looked like we were riding a tandem from some angles. If I could have caught up with him I might have lamped him  Smiley

Was good.  My kids (13 and 16 - strange names) watched it and found it very funny.  Was nice to see them enjoying the shame cynical twisted dark humour ive loved for years.

Just watching the hospital special on iPlayer. It’s so scary. If I could stop my wife going to work I would. Might be selfish, but it’s such a risk. She won’t listen to me anyway.

Everyone needs to watch it.

As one who works in education, heres my take:

The two big leaps year group to year group in Primary school are reception to year one and year five to year six. If any year groups could benefit from being in until the summer hols its the current reception kids and the current year 5s. By the end of year one the kids are mostly ingratiated into school proper so I see no extra benefit in them being in over, say, the current year 3s.

Year 6 is tricky because at this time of year normally SATS are already, erm, sat, and the key issue for them is the transition to secondary school. Theres usually some learning but that takes a back seat to gearing them up for the big move to another school. With that said, would it not be beneficial to begin secondary a couple of months earlier? From what I understand secondary schools are shut to the vast majority of secondary pupils until September, so get the staff back in, give the current year 6 cohort a head start and make use of the space and teaching resources currently being unused in secondary. Social distancing should be no more difficult than if they were still at primary, but moving them to secondary now will have the positive knock on effect that social distancing will be easier in primary schools for whichever kids are left there with the year 6s gone.

Interesting take. As someone with a reception age child, you can get to fuck if you think he's going back to school yet.
