Did obviously wonder who made the decision to put it all on Excel, especially if they had Excel they'd have also had access to er Access which is more up to the job. They could have even used IBM SPSS for the case which would have been better. Indeed, who thought Excel would be suitable for such a large amount of data? Obviously somebody at PHE. |

😂😂😂 you guys are really making my day on how you think this stuff really works. My goodness. You really think CEOs are not keeping tabs on the day to day operations. Of course they are. Deary me you have a lot to learn No most CEO have no idea of day to day operations, they have no need to. That is what they have a management structure for. It is not a CEOs job to manage day to day operations. More the long term strategy of the company. He has many layers under him and those at the bottom manage day to day activity. Correct to some extent. The appointed managers/directors below are generally expected to report back to the CEO. As a CEO you would want to know about the day to day operations such as your company's finances or how many sales were made that day. But it does depend on the scale of the business. Tim Cook at Apple for example, wouldn't know how many iPhones were sold at their Bluewater store today. Not sure our government knows much about what goes on at PHE, our PM referred to this issue as a "computer problem" which suggests to me that he probably doesn't know much. |

Doubt we'd see it across the whole of England but perhaps in the north west. Should be alot more effective compared to the curfew. |

Well maybe if the government was much clearer on the rules and stopped changing them left right and center we might get somewhere instead of stop, start, stop, start.
Infection rates are around 15k a day and we not hit Winter yet.

Restaurants and pubs are the source of 3% of cases, schools and universities 44% of cases .... Jimmy Krankie has got it wrong! |

In a school of over 2000 pupils, and we've only got 7 science teachers left. And they say that pubs are the problem...

Shouldn't they stop going to the pub then? It's not as if its the pub's fault that they made the decision to get a drink, getting Covid as a result. |

No, I mean that the government is saying that pubs are the problem and trying to introduce restrictions whilst schools are staying open and this is what is happening. |

Pubs have been open since July it's and the resurgence started when schools went back personally think we need some sort of "circuit breaker" as they call it with the schools or something clearly this is where it is spreading kids and social distancing is nigh on impossible . |

I agree, children need their education but even with the restrictions put in place by schools and the government, schools are most definitely a huge factor in our country's sharply increasing infection rates. |

No, I mean that the government is saying that pubs are the problem and trying to introduce restrictions whilst schools are staying open and this is what is happening. But it’s a chicken and egg scenario. Are the teachers actually catching COVID-19 in the schools or are they catching in their personal lives? It’s very easy to blame schools being open but no-one can say for definite this is where teachers are catching COVID-19. I am not doubting that some teachers are catching it from pupils but who’s to say they aren’t catching it in a supermarket or in the pub or in a gym. I would agree that maybe they need to limit the amount of children in schools, so for secondary maybe have the younger years 7-9 at home and rotating through weeks to maintain education for the older students who are preparing for GCSEs. |

Be interesting to see if the circuit breaker works in Scotland, if we see a reduction whilst pubs are closed then a increase when back open it will be pretty clear. I guess they could do the same and close schools for a couple of weeks and see if infections drops. Could run these as regional trails in areas of high infection.
