I am a wiper of everything too. I can't help it it just feels the right thing to do. And as you say the science and advice changes almost daily.
I am pretty sure a few weeks ago we were all told masks were useless if not worse as you fidget with them and touch your face more. ...now they are pushing for then to be compulsory
Yep!! My daughter is sad she is missing out on all her year 6 leaving activities. The year 6s usually spend ages rehearsing a play to do to the entire school, go on a residential, have a party . Non of that will be happening, she won't be able to say goodbye to all her year 6 classmates and hug and exchange gifts and sign year books.
I honestly think the new school set up will make her sad and really highlight how the world is today , which so far she has been isolated from.
I just think staying at home where we snuggle and laugh and she can fight with her brothers, without worrying about how close she is to another human is the better option for her.
And from selfish point of view we have a new routine right now in our house and I really can't be bothered complicating it when I don't need to by having 1/3 at school
