Royal Conservatoire of Scotland is the latest to suspend face-to-face teaching for students.
Professor Jeffrey Sharkey, Principal of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, said: “I appreciate this is an unprecedented and anxious time for everyone and it is important that we work together as a supporting and connected community taking care of each other and continuing to focus on learning and teaching in albeit different forms from those we are used to.”

The stores are closing because nobody’s shopping imo. And unless they commit to paying their workers while closed I don’t think they get any credit whatsoever for selflessness.

From 22 poster rickroll:
for all incoming flights to china
passengers are not allowed to disembark plane until they pass a test, this can sometimes take up to two hours depending on how many planes are landing at that moment
upon disembarking you will have an additional health check with a doctor and you’ll be questioned about where you’ve been over the past 14 days and any illnesses or symptoms you’ve experienced
they’ll then determine if you are allowed to self quarantine or are quarantined at a government facility
if you can self quarantine, you can either go on a bus taking you to your district or you can take a private car that has already registered to be allowed to go to airports
upon arrival at home, you’ll be visited by local government that will have you sign a pledge that you’ll not leave the house and will take your temperature daily. they will also provide you with anything you need such as masks, disinfectant, gloves, etc, this will happen 24/7 even if you land at 3 am it’ll happen
not sure how feasible some of these would be in the US, but I think not leaving anyone leave the plane/airport without first passing a test is not asking much and would do a lot
they’ve been doing this for months now
as a result over the past several weeks the majority of the cases are people who have no idea they are sick and are coming to china for a business trip
they’re so worried about people from other countries bring covid back that they just instituted mandatory 14 day quarantine in a govt facility today and no longer allow the self quarantine option
test kits cost about $10 and take 15 minutes to get results using common machinery any idiot could operate
there’s abolutely no reason why couldn’t give everyone a $10 test that takes 15 minutes as well if we only cared enough
as I repeatedly say in the the BFI thread, anyone who thinks we are incapable of doing what multiple asian countries do isn’t looking at it objectively, otherwise they must believe that asians are the master race and nobody else can perform their legendary feats
this includes taiwan, singapore, korea, etc that are all democracies and managed to handle things well with lockdowns despite being democracies
i’m tired of the “but we’re not asian and living in a dictatorship” trope to excuse inaction. it’s inaction plain and simple, we’re just so accustomed to inaction that we’ve rationalized it as acceptable the way fat people and smokers rationalize their behavior as out of their control
speaking as a former long time smoker and occasional fatty
$10 in China, made in China?
nearly all medicine and medical devices are…
but yeah, i’m actually trying to help some labs export because they all pivoted to producing them and now have overcapacity
for $10 a pop I can get a lab to load up a shipping container of them and it’ll be at your door in a week
same stuff used in hospitals, at the airports for arrivals etc with full certification
the testkit shortage is 100% policy driven as government hands out exclusive licenses who can then charge a fortune for the exact same thing someone without a license should be able to import for $10
Jesus fuck

I watched a news segment on vegemite 40 years ago. Three on air people, one was the sports guy with a sandwich in front of them. Their sandwiches had WAY more vegemite on them than that photo. After a minute the sports guy said fuck it and took a giant bite and immediately started gagging. That was the day I knew I’d never try it. Nutella is super gross too.
You know Tom Hanks made his PA take the bite out his vegemite sandwich.
