My Dad, who is sheilding was under the impression they would 'let out' the 20-30 year olds first. Ive no idea how you could manage that with childcare, places being shut etc but apparently he saw/heard a scientific adviser saying that.
He is under the impression he will be sheilding for the rest of the year at least until a vaccine is found.
Im not so sure. I dont actually think the government know what the plan is yet and that is why they won't commit to answering those questions.
I think they are waiting to see how other countries do it and what impact that has on the curve and i think they are trying to gather even more data to give them a better idea on what things to relax and when.
Yes, I've heard that. It's because data shows young people are the least affected so they think let the kids back to school/college/Uni and under 30's back to work.

The Government has said they're in touch with other countries to study how it's working for them.

We all know this will carry on until a vaccine is ready so it makes sense to open things back up again slowly, especially as the NHS isn’t struggling. There’s a high chance things might be open for a few months and we go into another lockdown but by June the 15th we would of been on lockdown for 12 weeks so I don’t think it’s strange for things to be opening up again by then.
Government advisor on the news this morning ..No vaccine has ever been achieved in any other forms of Covid ever🤷‍♀️

Yes but it's obviously not working it's spreading everywhere ..The first case picked up where I live was an Italian student within days it had spread everywhere and they did contact tracing on him also ...I think the money could be better spent on other forms of research into it ,their never going to stop the spread.

I can't go a year without seeing any of my family. It'll kill me
They physically can't keep the lock down in place for that long at this level. People will just stop following it and that's when there will be riots and stuff starting.
It would also completly destroy the economy.

I'm a sensible person and I've been following the rules so far but even my patience and goodwill will be tested as this goes on. If it get to June/July with no changes then I am going to see my Mum. I can imagine others will be the same by that point.
I'm quite positive that it won't get to that point (mainly because I have to be for my own sanity) and the restrictions will start to be relaxed in stages sooner rather than later.

I agree, I've followed all the rules but it's going to get to point people are fed up. People need to see thier families if they aren't at risk.

I'm due in June and my toddler is going to have to go to my parent's when I go into labour, lockdown or not, what am I supposed to do?

The thing is schools do not begin and end with children. Staff (teaching, support, admin kitchen and grounds), volunteers, friends and families (parents, grandparents ...) of schools are huge

Earlier in the press conferences they asked if both parents become ill and have young children they can't care for what do they do? The medical officer said then that in those circumstances other family members can take the children to their home to care for them. There are obviously exceptions like children of divorced parents being allowed to move the children between households.

Yes but they're still open for kids of key workers so how are they managing now?

Skeleton staff and rotational working.

I'm in one day a week if that helps and setting work online daily. We have, on average, 10 children in. We are all on a rota.

The numbers are so low. Our usual student number is around 1500 and the most we’ve had in on any one day is 9, with three members of staff. Even then it’s a challenge to keep the kids from physically touching each other, and that’s with the luxury of being able to space them around a classroom, which you certainly wouldn’t be able to do with full capacity.

One of our elderly residents has been taken to hospital and tested positive for Covid. My colleagues and I had suspected it in the days leading up to the admission. He’s in a bad way, I will be surprised if we ever see him again, poor man. Now we’re all potentially at risk of having it and are being told to reuse PPE which we’re running out of. I just feel so drained by it all, feels like living in a nightmare. 😞

Another thought, would they send children back to school before the sheilding time limit is up? What about the children who are themselves sheilding or the ones who have parents sheilding? Will it be a case of those children will just have to catch up at a later date? Is that fair on them?
Sheilding letters are still going out and they say 12 weeks from the day the letter has been recieved. For some that will take them almost up to the summer holidays.
Also i know a lot of staff in my childrens school are sheilding themselves due to Chrons, severe asthma etc how will they manage to staff the schools/kitchens and clean them if they have several people off sheilding?
All things the government will need to consider.

I'm not staying in for a year Have been in the vulnerable group for 34 years and there have been years where flu spikes have had 25-30k more fatalities and no one has ever suggested I stay in or given me any advice at all. I'll take my chance and just be mindful of the figures etc and self isolate as and when but I think adults need to be allowed to decide and have agency over their own lives You can be sure BJ dad and the old codgers in the HofL won't be doing this and don't get me started on the RF. Not seeing my children and family and friends would kill me sooner

I just went to my local park and apart from the play area being empty & basketball court being taped off you wouldn’t think there was any kind of lockdown. There was a family sitting by the stream, one family flying a kite, and another looked like they were having a picnic around a table. Plus more people passing through than I’ve seen in my life.

Im not judging these people, haven’t got the energy for that today. But if people are barely listening to the rules now, they are definitely not going to take it seriously if lockdown gets lifted and then enforced again later on. I’m not saying we should be on lockdown indefinitely, don’t know what the solution is really to be honest.

I'm sure that would count as providing care for someone who is vunerable so would be allowed.

I'm due next week, the thought of the baby not meeting family is heartbreaking. I understand it is necessary and obviously don't want to put my baby at risk but I'll only be able to hold off for so long.
Once my husband goes back to work after his paternity leave ends he will be more likely to bring it home to us from the hospital anyway.
