The list of key workers has been released and it's basically loving everyone. Schools are closed in only the absolute loosest definition of the word:Guidance for schools, colleges and local authorities on maintaining educational provision posted:If your work is critical to the COVID-19 response, or you work in one of the critical sectors listed below, and you cannot keep your child safe at home then your children will be prioritised for education provision:

That comment someone made earlier about the closed schools actually being open way more seems to have been prophetic. Aren’t we usually told not to view schools as free babysitters? If that many kids are still mixing doesn’t it ruin the whole point of the measure? On a selfish note, being able to identify the split point of my trachea and the upper margins of my lungs via pain was a fun novelty. But I’d like it to go away now please. Wouldn’t mind being able to talk without stopping to breathe every sentence too.

Maybe MPs etc should have any stocks & shares they have frozen until 2 years after they cease to be a public 'servant'. Extremely right wing friend can suddenly see the point of a UBI at least through this crisis (he's a freelancer)! Today I'm not going to post any virus news on my FB - all uplifting sounds etc - and not watch any main news or twitter.

It's true but they could just become a giant Switch vending machine instead of allowing customers inside.

I had a dream last night that I suffered a compound fracture of my humerus, but for some reason the doctors decide the best treatment for this was to amputate my arm and then re-attach it, solely so I could run around and beat people round the head with my own severed arm. I must take this to a psychologist

The Guardian blog had this today: quote:A scramble by the UK to produce thousands of ventilators to fight the coronavirus outbreak was achieving results as top companies have already produced a prototype and it should be ready for use in hospitals by the end of next week, according to Britain’s health secretary. Apparently we need prototypes of something that already exists.

Finding it quite hard to escape from thinking and reading about coronavirus. Work is maybe 50% working out how and whether to continue treating patients for their cancer during the outbreak, 50% normal science work on writing protocols for the next treatments. My amount of work has increased quite a lot and I don't have time for exercise at the moment. Then outside work absolutely everything on the net is about the pandemic, and I accidentally started reading the coronavirus thread which is packed with people confidently asserting things they don't really understand. My brain needs a break and it's only 1 week in. Must be dreadful for hospital staff. I know I am actually very lucky. /moan

If that many kids are still mixing doesn’t it ruin the whole point of the measure? Schools are now being used only for the children of key workers, such as those responsible for medically treating the virus and with the highest infection risk. Thus ensuring that when the children of those key workers are infected they have maximum mixing with the children of other keyworkers. And so we maximally ensure the complete infection of all key workers in as short a timeframe as possible.
