"I was surprised by the high levels of virus we found in children of all ages, especially in the first two days of infection. I was not expecting the viral load to be so high.
You think of a hospital, and of all of the precautions taken to treat severely ill adults, but the viral loads of these hospitalised patients are significantly lower than a ‘healthy child’ who is walking around with a high Sars-CoV-2 viral load."

Office costs certainly in London will be very high, You have insurance, staff to manage the property, Monitors, chairs, desks, maintenance, tea's, coffee etc that probably adds up. We have 5 offices all within a stones throw of each other in Central London. The costs of those offices and staff will be significant i would have thought.
I think there will be closures of offices and wfh encouraged. |
If there is a mass movement of closing down offices and everyone moving to working from home, then I really wouldn't be surprised to see the government implement a WFH Tax. |  |

I think, sadly, we are well past that sensible thinking Swansea.
Everything you generally read, listen to or hear from Government, Business and the Public is very much about getting back to 'normal'.
Again, yesterday, on the potential need for local lockdown in Oldham, Sean Fielding (local Labour councillor) said it would be 'catastrophic' to implement them after businesses have spent so much of becoming 'covid safe' (which, in itself, isn't possible).

The narrative has completely changed. The focus has shifted to getting the economy and liquidity moving (and I get that) but now that need appears to outweigh safety. I'm assuming that this is due to the fact that the NHS could now cope with an increase? |
Spoiler alert: the NHS cannot cope with an increase. If things at [redacted] are anything to go by, we are at 'winter capacity' and acuity and have been since late June. |  |

"Working from home is the norm."
I am slightly worried that everyone working from home being quite successful will open up the idea for companies to offshore a lot more jobs. If people don't need to be in the office then in many cases the role perhaps doesn't need to be in the UK at all.
Obviously not applicable to everything but certainly some sectors could be seen to fall into that category.

When people talk about the Brexit positives of being "global Britain" free from the EU Ponzi scheme they miss the point that we will now be competing with the best brains from India, The Philippines, Korea, Ghana and so on without the protection of the EU Ponzi scheme. I have interviewed third line IT technicians in Manila, they aren't that different capability wise to UK based techs but they expect 1/10 of the Old Street roundabout salary. The flood of cheap labour from Poland is nothing in comparison. |  | | |

But UK govt said recently there was little evidence that kids can spread Covid! They surely weren't lying? |
This is what I tried to address in an earlier post. To state there is little evidence about CVis spread by kids in schools do is true. But to present it as therefore "there is little spreading of CV by children" is a patently dishonest position imho.
There is no evidence because there have been no studies. Schools have been shut ffs, have could there be any solid evidence?
And there is a mountain of evidence that other viruses are spread by children in schools. |  |

An important part of 'being guided by the science' is to pick and choose your science. There have been other, larger studies which have not been quite so alarming.
There is also the judgment call on just how much of a problem are a few million infected kids.... bearing in mind they have been at home with their families for months..... infections are one thing, serious infections and hospital cases quite another.
Ned Stark, if he were allowed in any meetings with our revered health secretary would also point out that 'winter is coming' when the NHS will be overwhelmed again, with or without Covid. |  |

Nope, mostly people who've been sat at home on all sorts of nasty festering things... | |

Yep, piles are often more serious than people think. |  | | |
