If Coleg Cambria are conceding that face to face learning creates a risk/threat and are moving lectures online, is it only a matter of time before Schools start closing and move to remote learning again?
This coupled with the news that Clr Pritchard admits we’ll probably be in local lockdown for the foreseeable future means we’re in for a very rocky and uncertain end of the year ahead.
An MS (AM) has called for Betsi to be scrapped, how long will the debacles go on?
You know what Derek, if you aren’t interested in a particular comment or conversation just DON’T READ IT.
We haven’t forgotten, it just so happens for the sake of mental health and sanity some of us have to operate to a certain level of gallows humour to keep going.
We don’t need to be constantly patronised and have the fun police in play going we’re in a Pandemic no fun allowed all the time. I’m already adhering to local lockdown and playing by the rules and staying at home except to take my kids to school and walk my dog (I’ve opted for an online delivery this week). I don’t plan to start having my freedom of speech taken away on top of everything.
I’ll give WreX-IT a hard time because despite us disagreeing on most things, they haven’t had a complete sense of humour lobotomy and are worth talking to.
We know the numbers are going up, we know it’s a totally Up the Creek type situation and we’ll get back to that as and when we wish to do so. Perhaps you can direct the conversation in a way you see fitting Derek?
Come on Wrex-IT, we were taking the very British response of not taking seriously a question of a sexual nature and making light of it.
If you went back in time to ask yourself say from 2019 before all this happened.
“Next year in 2020 I’ll have to worry about number 1 my neighbour’s amorous private activities amongst consenting partners and then number 2 discussing it on a public forum with strangers and then number 3 considering contacting local law authorities”.
Then you’d see how utterly absurd this situation is to yourself and quite frankly all of us. Strange things to have to deal with and strange rules to have to abide by.
Don’t get me wrong she’s going about it all wrong, she’s broadcasting how she’s breaking the rules and making her own rules and could perhaps be a bit more subtle about it and is effectively rubbing it in people’s faces who are playing by the rules and she’s morally and legally in the wrong in the current bizarre times we’re living in.
I just think taking the moral high ground of not being a grass and ignoring it is the way forward in this situation. The police are already stretched and have worse criminals to be catching.
WreX-IT it sounds very much like a Vicky Pollard sketch, I can’t help but laugh.
Yea but no but, Samantha was getting it off behind the bins with Daz when they were meant to be on local lockdown and social distancin’ and then he slipped her with a dose of the Covid.
Has anyone got a link to an official source that the new cases are all coming from the College / University?
There seems to be a certain level of disbelief and denial that ANYBODY (and I mean general members of the public) could possibly be spreading it, despite the fact that we’ve all been mixing freely for the past few months in ways that could easily cause person to person transmission.
If I told you I had a cold you’d easily believe I’d picked it up from just about anyone and I wouldn’t have a stigma and blamed and labelled irresponsible for catching the cold. Yet people seem to be unable to apply the same logic to something like Covid, which is just as highly transmissible and then are quick to label certain groups as irresponsible behaviour for spreading it, when they are just going about their everyday lives.
Students were basically told it was okay to come back to University, when clearly it’s not the case if the outbreaks are escalating there. They are expected to now do as they’re told and behave responsibly and adhere to lockdown type situations, yet at the same time when we’re told to behave responsibly and adhere to similar lockdown situations to prevent spread, people act exasperated.
None of it makes any sense and people putting personal liberties before collective responsibility from all corners of society is why we are going to end up living restrictive lives for much of the rest of this year and probably into 2021.
No-one is saying don’t go out and work to earn a living or go and shop to get what you need and visit people who need support, but people doing these everyday mundane and responsible activities are still going to catch Covid and are still going to risk spreading it, just as much as those we can easily point the finger at.
Interestingly the Tory/Independent Council Exec were part of the decision making process to put Wrexham into local lockdown, so it seems some of her own political colleagues in town also failed to consult her.
My kids got sent home today with a very urgent letter about getting set-up for the online learning portal Seesaw again, which was what we got sent shortly before all the schools closed in March. The letter stated in the event of needing to partially or fully close the school due to rising infections. So you wonder have headteachers been given a heads up about something, or are they just being cautious and prepared.
