Yes and if we have a second peak it will cost them even more money so why not stick to plan A for a few more weeks ?

 

How many weeks?

Why don’t you want your kids back in school?

1) five year olds can't social distance

2) he has had health issues since being born including a lot if hospital stays 

3) wife is shielding with breathing issues, shes being treated as an out patient as it's too risky 

4) when I go to collect him, there will be a load of other parents there too.. I won't get it again but can carry it home.

Because we don’t need to

Can fine me if they want. 

Just hone school him. Wifes isolating, there is no way they can keep kids that young safe. Unions are already setting cogs in motion. 

I doubt they will fine you 

and you have valid points so good grounds 

seen comments on Facebook from parents saying the same but surely they can’t decide when they go back where you draw the line?

I’m pretty sure that they won’t fine you given that specific set of circumstances.

The children issue is an interesting one

10 million under 10s in this country and 2 have died related to Covid. Wasn’t there a query about if they can pass it too? There was something about a French child a week or two back?

We’re a nation of absolute wetwipes all drilled with a worse case scenario mindset from childhood. 

Folk need to get a grip and deal with the hand your played. Deal with the situation instead asking waiting in line to get your arse wiped.

I can understand your concern. Do you think the risks will have disappeared in September?

Review in three weeks as Wales and Scotland have announced.

If the numbers on the five KPI's are looking better at that point (R rate, deaths, hospital admissions, etc) then there will be more confidence in starting to slowly revise the lockdown measures.

It would have been the best policy though and in line with the rest of the UK.

[only1swanny]

No idea, but I know that it's not the right time now.

I've had it, I really don't care about myself going to work as I have been doing. But kids carry it and what is the point of sending him to school and taking the risk of him bringing it home when we can home school him. Deal with september when that one comes. 

Love my wife to bits, if she gets it, she will die.

Again, I totally understand. I would feel the same in your position.

My point was that this isn’t going away. It’s all a matter of managing it. The risks of going to school are the same now as they will be in September, December, maybe even this time next year or until a vaccine is developed.

That's what the consultants have told us, it's a fact that we have to cope with. 

She was in hospital from November to March, she was only let out as they needed the respiratory wards for corona patients.  Whilst in she was bed bound and could just make it to the toilet and on constant oxegen.. serious shit..

So yeah, you can see my rational .. even if that does make me a wet wipe

It makes you exactly the opposite of a wet wipe, you’re making sensible decisions on the evidence you’ve been presented with. You’re not relying on Boris to tell you.

I think we’d all do the same in your shoes

Just hits hard mate, don’t think I’d have the strength. Fingers crossed for her mate and you need anything we’re all here.x

I wonder if anybody can answer thus

Definitively, not a guess please

Ive got some lads back from tomorrow, so no longer furloughed - one or two would much prefer to be on the 80% and thats a fact

One of em starts coughing tomorrow night, i presume hes off back home?

So, is he on SSP or am i expected to stick him back to furlough, to be replaced by another lucky chap

I ask as we are a manufacturer who only stopped because of staff isolating and customers closing down

Nobody is knocking you

it was me who first questioned you but like I said wasn’t being funny about it 

I do think folk will so call pick & choose when to send their kids back if allowed to (without a valid reason)

Caught between a rock and hard place tomorrow 

MiL’s funeral. 15 allowed in. About 40 car loads going to be sat outside watching it on a stream. She was a tad popular locally

The 15 from the funeral have been invited back here afterwards for a buffet by Mrs Manc. It’s close family only. But......I’m really uncomfortable about it but wtf can I do? Shit situation. Really don’t want all those folk in my house

Will Teachers and support staff in Educational centres want to go back to work, this isn't cut and dried, there's a load of permutations with this.

Course 

but this is also open to folk taking the piss even come September 

[radcliffe white]

Just now, Mr Grey said:

They still will be, in every institution you get people taking the piss and are on the sick list more than most, education is no different, some will have real genuine issues and some will use it as an excuse, that will happen across all sectors.

Aye I’m not singling teachers out btw 

be open to piss takers everywhere

Cheers, thats cleared it up

Maybe youre both correct, its possible i suppose

If getting back to 80% is as easy as ringing work to say theyve got symptoms, theres some i'll not see for dust

I think ill be on to our solicitors in the morning

We had a funeral recently. Only 10 allowed. Had a pissup/wake thing planned (it’s what we do) but the venue that was booked cancelled it. 
 

Decided we wouldn’t go back to someone’s house. After the service, we just all went our separate  ways with a promise to get pissed together once this thing is all over.
