Six dead kids from Covid so far this month, that's probably one thing they're sitting on
I'm surprised at that, at both Sheffield uni's the phrase 'blended learning' has been banned. Practicalities mean it will have to be like that in some cases, but everyone has been told to go into work as if it were 2019.In our university, they kicked off the term with blended learning i.e. half online, half in person. Lecturers could choose whether to alternate the classroom with online, or do half the term one way and half the other. Predicatbly they all decided to teach the first half online, meaning students turned up with no staff to greet them. Now they're being offered extra pay to come in immediately.
Does anyone know if covid test centres or postal pcr tests give quicker results these days? Or will it be about the same? I'm in London if that makes any difference.
So 54 in 18 months, or 3/month, except we don't know how many of the 6 Fruitloop mentioned are included in that number. So somewhere between a 0% and 100% jump, maybe, I guess? You'd expect any school-related bounce to show up in the Scottish figures first, really.Official numbers for England and Wales from the ONS, based on Covid being mentioned on death certificates, has a total of 54 people aged 0-19 having died by that measure during the pandemic so far. Thats by week of occurrence up to 10th September 2021. Using data from the spreadsheet at Deaths registered weekly in England and Wales, provisional - Office for National Statistics

Anecdotally there seem to have been a lot more negative PCR tests after a positive or multiple positive LFTs, so if someone has any kind of positive test I would be inclined to assume that they're positive
Are you suggesting that PCR tests are inherently unreliable or that this is deliberate?Anecdotally there seem to have been a lot more negative PCR tests after a positive or multiple positive LFTs, so if someone has any kind of positive test I would be inclined to assume that they're positive

Looks like the twitter account is using this as a sourceAn anonymous Twitter account is not a source.
Well up until recent posts I had no idea what the source of info was.So 54 in 18 months, or 3/month, except we don't know how many of the 6 Fruitloop mentioned are included in that number.

Dammit teuchter, faster than me on the draw. Those are better than the ONS, although from those you can see that they're talking about the same data: Coronavirus (COVID-19) latest insights - Office for National Statistics

elbows it worries me that 'underlying conditions' is a pretty broad category, I believe asthma is included, along with a bunch of other things that are very common.
Of 3,105 deaths from all causes among the 12 million or so people under 18 in England between March 2020 and February 2021, 25 were attributable to COVID-19 — a rate of about 2 for every million people in this age range. None had asthma or type-1 diabetes, the authors note, and about half had conditions that put them at a higher risk than healthy children of dying from any cause.
Sorry, the hated twatter again but I am kind of enjoying this pile-on to the DfE:
