Back to work Monday, by Tuesday I will be mingling with 3600 Students and 300 members of staff, January external exams start on the 7th to 12th, Internal Mock exams 11th to 15th January. 

Tier fucking 4, my arse and pointless!

Staff and Students who are clinically vulnerable can't come in. 

The Tier lockdown system won't work if education remains open.

You either lockdown fully or you don't.

Have to agree, schools will spread the disease more than anywhere else. The new variant is supposedly easier spread, It’s mental schools are open, remote learning is relatively  easily done, leave them closed until after February half term and use that time to vaccinate teaching staff.

Suppose its possible they might extend it, depending upon numbers of cases. Also another hundred thousand devices being delivered for online learning, so perhaps they're preparing for just that eventuality.

Gotta agree with that, keeping schools open and shutting everything else is beyond stupid.

If schools are open, everything else should open.

If everything else is closed, close the fucking schools.

Otherwise nothing makes sense.

At least you've got more time for your testing to be up and running.

Where did you end up getting to?

Playa Blanca, Lanzarote.

Had I known that this afternoon's announcement would push Junior's return to school back a week, we'd have stayed on.

Nice. You got 10 days quarantine now or 2

weeks? Or do we not know anymore?

When is the next tier review?

Officially, 10.
But can be retested on day 5 and released from quarantine.

Make this final effort and get the vaccine in our arms and things willook a lot different in 6 months.

Let's not mess this up now.

Sounds like a normal day for you then pal 😉 

Must admit, your tik tok routine is pretty good now 😄 

Just volunteered to go back in if needed. Hate sitting at home when there's stuff I could be doing to help!

Spot on.

It really was more bumbling nonsense from Boris when he tried to answer a question about education.

Then you're faced with the shitstorm of no exams again.

Some self isolating some dont, some miss more college/school, there's no fairness about this, especially with different tiers across the country.

The fairness is trying to prevent hospitalisations.

As shitty as it is, it's not beyond the wit of education department, further/higher education establishments and employers to take into account the difficulties suffered when offering places.

In tier 4, if you're elite, a kid, or a flid you can still play.

Whether local FA's choose to or not is up to them i suppose.

Of course, but if schools need closing for a couple of weeks to help get over this spike, then so be it. Vaccines ramping up now, so won't be for ever.

Good man, stay safe though 👍

Just fucking lock down properly. Like we did at first. Just shut everything other than food and medicine. Early days just before my MiL died me and Mrs Manc would hop on our bikes and cycle to see the grandkids and the MiL and either stand at the end of the drive or talk through the window at each house. Barely any traffic on the road and cop vans circling the area challenging folk out and about. Didn’t actually stop it happening but it wasn’t as bad as it now appears to be in terms of transmission of the virus. These bubbles? Waste of time. Stepdaughter is a single parent so is fully entitled to bring two snot-ridden rugrat grandkids here at any time. I used to do a shop for my mum. Drive across to Bolton. Put the bags inside the utility room at her back door, have a chat at a distance and then leave. She used to text me her shopping list so that if I was stopped I could prove what I was doing

We’ve gone way too lax. Go back to how it was originally and add in the vaccine programme. It really isn’t that difficult
