Covid statistics

Very interested to see that, according to the ONS, there have been two deaths from Covid 19 in our catchment area. There are a hell of a lot of kids telling me they have not completed work because they have lost a grandparent.

The statistics are crap. Both my sister and nephew have had ir, my nephew was hospitalised, but neither were tested. 3 children in my son's class have had it - one is now in hosputal with kidney problems - none has been tested. My friend was told that her 85 year old aunt would not be taken to hospital or tested.

Lies, damed lies and statistics.
And everyone is well so we can go back to school.

Their grandparents might not live in the same catchment. It's very common here for child and parents to live out here, and grandparents to live further into the city. Deaths have been higher in the cities, and deaths might not be down to coronavirus.

As an example...if I died, my grandchildren would be saying they'd lost a grandparent...but they live 200 mikes away 🤷‍♀️
