Coronavirus Disease Outbreak COVID-19 #50

[monga]

I've just hugged my sister goodbye then it hit me that if restrictions are bought in this week it might be the last time I hug her for a while. Which makes me sound really dramatic I know

We've got a big event coming up tomorrow for the kids but now these restrictions are in play they won't get to see family after it ,only 4 family members were able to attend the event in the first place ,so people were taking them to grandparents etc after it

has it been confirmed that Boris is to give an update tomorrow?? and at what time does anyone know?

What's level 4 mean ?

Technically, under current restrictions if you’re not the same household you can’t hug anyway (obvs kidding, hug who you want lol)

Transmission is rising exponentially... providing they are still using this nandos measurement

I don’t think they’re going to be arresting people seeing family - honestly do what you have to do. Everyone knows the risks now. I’m still seeing my parents this weekend lockdown or not Soz world.

Yes COBRA meeting in the morning and addressing parliament in the afternoon.

At least grandparents can provide childcare.

I feel so split with this. It helps massively with my childcare situ, but I’m worried that my kids will give my folks the virus.

this tit stinks

I think he’s addressing the HofC at 12.30 and so I’m assuming it’ll be broadcast then.

My sister and I are taking my mum for afternoon tea at the weekend. None of us live together, but we would drive there in one car. Would this still be allowed under local lockdown?

We are in London, so no idea if we will be subject to any rules by then.

Schools should close tomorrow especially at level 4!

I’ll be gobsmacked if they shut schools. They’re counting it as essential and they’ve already said we’re not anywhere near where we were in March.

There are 32,770 schools in the UK so even if your statistic was true, which lets face it you post some pretty dubious things, that means around 4% of schools across the UK have had a pupil with coronavirus - potentially over the past 3 weeks and not even active cases right now.
Hardly a reason to shut schools after children have just been denied a full education for 6 months.

A quick google tells me that there are 32,770 schools in the UK, so only 4% have infections. Whilst I think that these figures need to be kept an eye on, closing all schools so soon into the school year and after so long off would be awful. Whilst infection symptoms amongst children remain small, surely limiting household interactions with others should be enough for now.

I feel so sorry for all of you on here who have genuine reasons for fearing a new lockdown but for purely selfish reasons on my part, how close do we think we are to non-essential shops closing again? It's just that I have a pile of clothes here at home that I need to get returns on because I couldn't try them on in store

Ah posted at the same time and yet you said it so much better than I did!

I don't think non essential retail will close. With social distancing and masks shops are pretty safe places.

I don't care what they close tomorrow but please keep schools open. My kids need it and so does my sanity.

I can't see them closing them if they are "covid secure". But last lockdown any returns were given a longer return period to allow for the fact you couldn't return them. I've used the word return far too much in this reply.

Praying schools stay open for all you parents on here. Kids need that structure, forget the education, they need their friends and to be able to play and have a routine
