How COVID-19 is affecting society

I laughed hard at the image. 100% I did.

Then I was kinda impressed, it’s a clever way to indicate a priest. I’m sure it brings comfort to those dying in isolation. I don’t begrudge them that.
Clever solutions but hilarious image and caption. Win win.

We haven't tuned it out! We're busy getting a new president in place. Everyone knows we can't do 2 things at the same time.

This is dreadful. Gavin Williamson, the Education Secretary, is absolutely hopeless. He's bungled the epidemic right from the start, with constant bad decisions and rapid changes of policy, leaving teachers and head teachers, parents and students, completely confused over examinations, school closures, free school meals for children from families on low incomes, and so on.

It's a whole catalogue of incompetence, almost approaching Chris "failing" Grayling standards, and I'm sure he's only in his job still because otherwise the Home Secretary would be the most publicly incompetent member of the cabinet, and she's scary as well as useless.

Boris Johnson’s plans to test millions of schoolchildren for coronavirus every week appear to be in disarray after the UK regulator refused to formally approve the daily testing of pupils in England, the Guardian has learned.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) told the government on Tuesday it had not authorised the daily use of 30-minute tests due to concerns that they give people false reassurance if they test negative.

Plus he was Tory chief whip, which means he knows where the bodies are buried...

Do we know if that system was outsourced and, if so, to who ?

eta: Just spotted that this wasn't a one-off "oops, I deleted the dataset", but the repeated applcation of the wrong procedures over a period of three months.
