Where is everyone getting the figures for the number of deaths in their town? The only article i can find is the sun but that seems incredibly inaccurate. Im in the South West and it is saying 1 confirmed death for my town, i know at least 4 people who passed with it and had it on their death certificates, which affected the funerals for family members (some being my best friends)
As for kids going back, one of my childrens teachers is sheilding with her child because of a condition he has. Then i know there are around a dozen other members of staff at the school also sheilding either because of their own health or a family members. It's a relatively small primary school, so it would not be able to safely function with a dozen less staff. Sheilding is not up until the end of June, so going back to school after May half term doesnt seem feesible.
I wont be sending mine if i think it's too early and if fines are on the cards i will just deregister them and home educate them for the forseeable.
And in my opinion, which is obviously not backed by the science
June is way too early!
Secondary aged going back part time, so they can be spread out and only the years that have exams next year should be the priority.
One of my siblings was furloughed on Friday for 3 weeks, another is 6 weeks in to hers come Tuesday and she has been told it will be extended for a further 3 weeks. So i think that's wishful thinking on your sisters part.
