And what are the death figures?

Terrific. Bring on the lamb, the Marmite, and the crisps that taste of something.

Digestive biscuits and chocolate hobnobs.

Let's be having it!

Just don't have these Olympics. Push back host country status to Japan 2024, by which time we might have things under control.

Being somewhat closer to the situation than Mr. Grebe, I can assert that he has a personal vendetta against the school and is grossly misrepresenting the truth of the situation in order to grind a particular axe. This is a serious situation in which no-one benefits from spreading malicious untruths.

AllSeeingI: Is the school closed? Are the teachers not expected to turn up for work? If that's correct, thank you for correcting the record.

Or is the school still open, and the teachers are expected to turn up for work or not get paid, like Derek said?

What's the untruth? Because if the teachers and students are being put into danger, why are you covering for that?
