A pandemic, some of the students will never make up for their losses.

On November 27, 2020, the Ministry of Health reported 17,067 new infections. The data for the last few days gives a little optimism. not only the statistics of daily infections are reduced, but also the number of occupied beds and respirators. This means that the vision of a "national quarantine" is receding

However, regiments and poles still have to reckon with restrictions, especially during the holiday season. There are also growing concerns that being unprepared for remote learning will disrupt the resumes of a whole generation of students from less affluent families. All this is due to the deterioration of the economy, among other things. In connection with the quarantine, the question of work is acute,and many move to the online sphere, knowing that you can earn additional income, as deltamarket broker does  many professions in connection with the pandemic were called into question.

What does all this mean? we explain step by step.

Confusion in reporting. What should I pay attention to?
After information about the centralization of data on coronavirus infections and the elimination of civil control over the counting of new detected cases in Poland, a heated debate broke out over violations in reporting on the state of the epidemic.

Until now, data from the regions were aggregated on the websites of regional sanitary and epidemiological stations. Then they went to the Ministry of Health, and it published them. However, the exact course of the epidemic could best be replicated using a database created by 19-year-old Mikhail Rogalsky. And, as the teenager showed, the statistics from the regions differed from the information provided by the office of Adam Voskresensky (and this is about 17 thousand cases). Were to blame for the delay.

There are doubts online that by centralizing the database, the government will not try to distort the real picture of the epidemic. however, as the eye explained.according to the expert, we should be happy that the government has finally decided to digitize the entire process. But it is difficult to say about joy at a time when the information policy of the authorities has led to a loss of confidence in state institutions.

The situation is not improved by constant failures. Also today, on November 27, the government first reported about 16.3 thousand, after which it introduced an amendment, according to which more than 17 thousand positive tests for coronavirus were merged over the past day.

However, the eye.press from the very beginning reminds that tracking the course of the epidemic based on the increase in the daily number of infections is not the most authoritative. Why? Because it depends on too many factors: the current testing strategy, the percentage of positive results, and the reporting delay.

What does the data tell us?

Therefore, it is best to check daily data on the number of hospitalizations, patients with COVID-19 in serious condition and deaths.

Recent days show that the situation in hospitals is improving. Since September 24, the number of occupied beds has been growing almost continuously. Last week you see not only a pullback, but also a slow decline. the largest number of patients requiring hospitalization was registered on november 17-23,033. today, there are 1,342 fewer patients.

it could be death statistics. From the data of the Ministry of Health, it follows that over the past day, 112 people died due to COVID-19, and 467 people died due to the coexistence of COVID-19 with other diseases. A total of 579 people.
christmas without guests?
on thursday, november 26, the government published a decree specifying what restrictions the shelf and poles will have to reckon with during the holiday season. A maximum of five people can be invited to the Christmas table.

It is important to note that the limit does not apply to the organizer of the meeting and his household.

"On the day of December 27, 2020, it prohibits the holding of meetings, including events, meetings and gatherings, regardless of their type, with the exception of: events and meetings of up to five people that take place in the premises or buildings specified as the address of the residence or stay of the person who organizes the party or meeting," the document says.

Students lag behind
disputes are constantly caused by the government's decision to almost a month-long break in training for students. recall that the holiday holidays will begin on december 23 and will last until january 17, that is, until the end of the holidays, which this year are bound in one term for all provinces.

The government hopes to slowly return to schools by mid-January, but no one wonders what will happen to children during such a long break.

while there is a nervous setting of estimates. teachers want to make it to december 23, because they are convinced that there will be too little time later. from the stories of teachers, it is also known that the problem of "disappearing students" has returned. they do not participate in online classes, do not communicate with teachers, and sometimes it is even impossible to contact them through their parents.

The longer online learning takes, and the longer the breaks in children's learning, the faster the disparity between those who have parental support and those who are left alone will grow. this division is strictly class-based, related to the economic and cultural stock of families.

as a study by alison andrew of the british institute for financial research shows, some of these backlogs will not be able to catch up until the end of education. for the vast number of hours devoted to learning already matters.

"More affluent students spend 5.8 hours a day on books, and their less affluent colleagues-4.5 hours”

Write in the review of the study analysts from GRAPE.

Moreover, " affluent parents are more likely to say that their children have access to interactive sources of remote education, such as online classes or one-on-one video meetings with teachers or tutors. at the same time, more than half of primary school students from poor families say that it is not possible to arrange a place for them to study at home. Finally, in affluent homes, parents are much more likely to say that they feel able to help their children learn."

This means that we have a growing generation of missed opportunities, which in recent months has not received sufficient system support.

In Poland, men still do not respond to this problem. It doesn't even do research on educational exclusion and growing inequality.
