Coronavirus Disease Outbreak COVID-19 #74

[Tippingpoint23]

So as soon as Boris announced that I was on Amazon stocking up on puzzles and games for my Nintendo switch - these were like gold dust last time!

 

[TwooTwooTwitTwitTwoo]

Agghh the threads have gone bonkers
Are we staying on 74 or moving to 75?

Not happy with that decision i work in early years

Living safely with respiratory infections, including COVID-19

Guidance for living safely with respiratory infections, including coronavirus (COVID-19).

www.gov.uk

Updated government guidance. E.g. can still meet one other for a local walk outdoors

No, he said level 5 (on the Nando’s chart), but that is full lockdown. It’s not a tier

isn’t it just national lockdown? Sorry jm not watching it live did he actually call it tier 5? But yeah I guess the only difference is the schools

My eldest has a new teacher this term and now she won’t get to meet them until at least next half term.

I understand that this is needed but I’m starting to get really worried. Kids will have missed practically a whole year of education. Doesn’t it make sense for everyone to repeat a year? I don’t know.

I'm glad I'm in Scotland after that. My 3 year old was supposed to start nursery tomorrow. I would of felt very uneasy sending him in when it's not safe for any other ages. That seems like a strange move, I really feel for nursery teachers.

That Marr interview yesterday aged well then

 

[grumpycat]

I am beyond fuming. We evidently do not matter to the government.

everyone knows early years put up with the most tit (literally)and I know for sure my 3y/o forgets to cover his mouth or nose when he sneezes or coughs!

I don’t see the reasoning behind it

 

[hrh89]

Honestly worried for the state of people’s mental health myself included. Never ending

 

[LittleMy]

If I was in England, I would not be sending my little one to nursery. Not while it’s deemed unsafe for the rest to go to school. I don’t get that decision at all.

6 weeks of home learning? Jesus take the WHEEL.

 

[jazyblu]

What the duck are we all going to do until mid March??

 

[Tots]

Support bubbles still allowed

 

[SarahGard83]

Cried when shielding was mentioned again.
When will non essential shops close? From tomorrow or Wednesday morning?

My poor mum

I was on 3 different WhatsApp chats and all 3 messaged saying “Feb half term?!”

 

[JLXRD]

Confused how they will tell what is the impact of the vaccine and what is the impact of the lockdown come March when vaccine would be having an effect?

Honestly I think they should do this! I’m sure there’s a reason why they can’t do this but still think it’s a good idea

 

[Vroomvroom]

I bet they still won't be stopping people travelling in and out of the country though. Or testing and quarantining people coming into the country!
