Covid different trends – Look from a different angle – admin taking a long time

Another figure from the weekly reports is the number of people entering hospital, and comparing it with the infection detected. The charts do not asve the same shape, with proportionately more people currently entering hospital. I’m only basing this on shape not medical knowledge. Compare the week numbers for parallels. The previous peaks of infections (weeks 33-45, 49-5) are not reflected in the reported hospitalisations.

Seems that the desperation being exhibited by the government is taking a more vicious turn with Rwanda legislation going to be forced through. Paula Cleary’s poem does state where we’ve all come from – using boats.

Look from a different angle — Paula Cleary

I live in the land of Angles
Of Saxons
Of Jutes
Of Celts
Of Romans
Of Normans
Of Scandinavians

I live in the land that was
Shaped by thousands of generations of
Fortune hunters
Treasure seekers
Wanderers and sailors
Conquerors and settlers
Warriors and lovers
Chancers and traders
Looking for a better life

In waves and on waves
They came and they came
And we are the product of them all
Yet we have the nerve and the ignorance
and memory loss
which makes a few of us spew hatred towards
'People in boats'
That they are somehow different from the people
Who shaped and made our isle

We. Are. All. Descended. From. People. In. Boats.

Trying to get some direction so that students can’t say they don’t understand what’s required for their resits. So typing, correcting, reading, editing, retyping and putting it on the site where they probably won’t read it. And trying to set up support sessions which they will need to come to, most of them. But probably won’t.
