People are bending the rules more and more, even those that have been following stringently from the get go. But I think it’s getting to the point people are willing to risk getting the virus if it means getting back to some sort of normality.
It was a families out with their kids, I understand it's nice to do things as a family but at least watch and educate kids on what's expected nowIve seen that the last few times Ive done my food shop kids wandering in the middle of the aisle. Im not saying they shouldn't bring kids because the woman could have been a single parent but at least keep them close.
Looked like Piers Morgan and Penfold did the briefingHow are they allowing football to be played when you have stay 2 metres apart?
Its a load of shit.
Honestly, I feel like I'm gonna die from the 'rona, my cancer or suicidePeople are bending the rules more and more, even those that have been following stringently from the get go.

So I’m guessing their results come back instantlyAll will be tested prior to games. Anyone positive will isolate and not be able to play, so it's pretty safe.
This includes all those who work at grounds/refs/tv crew/coaches as well as all players.
Will the team and everyone they've been in contact with not have to isolate I'd imagine they all train together..All will be tested prior to games. Anyone positive will isolate and not be able to play, so it's pretty safe.

The only people I like hugging are my husband and my kids. I can do that so I’m ok.Yes for sure . The handful of people I want to hug is very small.
Social distance in shops etc can stay forever as far as I'm concered
It's green boxes, only seem them with the waitrose eggs? Don't know any others. We have sainsburys ones but it's like a brown box but could paint them green?let’s leave this conversation here,
And I wish you and the families you care for well.
but I stand by what I say, a child who has picked up on their parents anxiety, who display anxieties themselves,
Are NOT VICTIMS OF ABUSE.
You took my comment about a child, who was finding it hard to mingle with his peers and play with them again and you ran with it.
sometimes you don’t need courses and guideline and cv updates to know how to be with a kid or parent that’s struggling
Not where this conversation started....
clearly you haven’t tried Brussel Sprouts with fairy non bio.....
Game changing
Doesn’t really work for health care professionals and carersI’ve taken myself away from the news but is the track and trace the app or just a case of handing over phone numbers? I don’t feel happy having an app tracking my location and a lot of the time I go out without it!
I understand why the parents are upset, we all want some normality, but I would massively respect how honest the school is being. They are basically telling you all that they don’t feel that it is safe for the children to return yet whilst also managing people’s expectations about how the new term and foreseeable future will be different.Email from school yesterday, they now wont be opening next week and have delayed until at least the 22nd of June. They have said they want track and trace up and running effectively before they go ahead with opening. And that they definitely will not be opening to wider years before the summer holidays.
They've said plans are already in place for September and it is looking likely that all children will be on a part time/staggered timetable to allow for every child to have some time in school with teachers and peers.
Lots of upset parents on Facebook who had told their children they would be returning next week and now have to tell them they won't be.
Sounds like you need hugsI've always been happy to stay in but it's starting to have a significant impact on my mental health. Sadly I think it's because I've realised how lonely I am, as I don't even have anyone to see after lockdown is lifted - so I can't really solve it by meeting up with anyone. i've realised I've done it to myself to, I pushed many people away over the years so I can't blame anyone but myself.
I'm worried about my job as I don't think they'll be able to afford to subsidise furlough and if we open up again they won't need as many staff. I'm only part time there and I don't think they'll keep me when the rest of the staff are full time and way more flexible. And are just better at the job than I am. My anxiety affects my performance more than I care to admit. They'll either cut my hours right down or get rid of me entirely, either way I'll be screwed. I have a second job that I might be able to go back to soon but I'm not sure as I'll need childcare. My kids' childminder already has kids of a frontline keyworker (who are obviously more important than mine) so I don't think she'll be allowed to have any more.
I could do with proper therapy again and adult interaction. My therapist has suggested a face to face appointment soon as she knows I'm struggling. I'd meet up with old family who I haven't seen in years just to see someone but I doubt they'd want to risk their family for someone they haven't seen in over 8 years. I feel so stuck in a rut with my life right now. It took lockdown for me to realise it and I can't do anything about it because of lockdown. So I'm stuck in a dangerous cycle at the moment. I'm also having horrific night terrors that stick with me all day and keep me from being a suffient human, let alone a good mother. They're safe and looked after but shoving them in front of the TV or iPad is my favourite non-parenting tactic right now
Phewww. Feels good to get all that off my chest even if it's only half of it.
I didn't say that but they are under 24 hours as there was a big thing made of how they get the results quicker than key workers and the receive periodic consistent testing. Sounds quite safe when you compare it other professions returning despite the proximitySo I’m guessing their results come back instantly
Hence why I've given up watching.These daily briefings are doing my head in. They just contradict everything they say
I agree, i do feel the school have kept us informed throughout, i know children need some pre warning of change but i can't understand why parents gave a specific day/week to the kids when it was never set in stone. They always said it would hinge on the 28th and the science reports.I understand why the parents are upset, we all want some normality, but I would massively respect how honest the school is being. They are basically telling you all that they don’t feel that it is safe for the children to return yet whilst also managing people’s expectations about how the new term and foreseeable future will be different.
Where this does become an issue though, is in the terms of childcare. If some children are only doing 9am-12pm or 11am-1pm etc to make sure that every child gets the opportunity to go to school, then workplaces will need to become a lot more flexible in terms of working hours and routine. This will obviously lead to more pressure being put on those employees who don’t have childcare constraints because they will be “more reliable” in the short term.
My boyfriend has been working from home throughout the lockdown and he has a team member who’s wife is about to return to work from maternity leave. He is the breadwinner. They are not wanting to send their child to the nursery at this time and obviously cannot ask other family members to have the baby. Due to this, he wants to reduce his hours or work more flexibly but it has been decided by the employer that they cannot allow this as it wouldn’t work for them. They have suggested he be furloughed but he is reluctant to do this also as it would mean a drop in pay. If I were the wife, it would make logical sense to me that I ask to be furloughed because I had already been out of work and on lower maternity pay anyway. I am very much for equality of the sexes and pay but I think if the schools continue to take this route, we will see a return of one parent working and one staying at home to look after the children. I could be wrong but I have a hunch.
It wasn’t a dig at you , it was a joke at how it’s stupid for contact sport to resume. You would need ideally instant results because 24 hour testing prior is pointless, whose to say they don’t come into contact with the virus in that period . Testing is only as good as the day it’s took onI didn't say that but they are under 24 hours as there was a big thing made of how they get the results quicker than key workers. Sounds quite safe when you compare it other professions returning despite the proximityplus they can refuse to return of uncomfortable.
