OMG DamnYankee

I'm not willing to stay locked down until a vaccine, but a dear friend will have to and I really need to go out for a pint with her.

Well my DD is going back to school full time from early June. Will be in her class of 15 bubble and staggered start/finish times etc. The info from the school is magnificently detailed and overwhelming sensible. I bloody love our school !

The number of deaths will likely 'shoot up' over the next couple of days as reporting catches up from the weekend and previously unreported deaths.

But the general trend is downwards and has been for some time

I wish you could automatically hide any thread with ‘school’ in the title Grin

There's a thread where the op is sad because her child's school won't open to reception and y1 and everyone's just like "don't blame them bla bla"

In all seriousness what are we going to do in September?!

NinetyNineRedBalloonsGoBy · 18/05/2020 19:30

I've found my tribe! Too many of my friends seem to salivate over extreme lockdown measures Hmm

My kids saw friends in the park today, they went off to play together and were BEAMING with joy after 8 weeks of no friends. I'm a teacher who will happily go back to full time work (currently doing 2 days on the rota).

Made the mistake of opening the one about another lockdown 🤦‍♀️

Patronus time 🦩

Have exactly the same discussions for the 3/4 weeks leading up to it.
Except it’ll be worse, because the government will want all years back full time. And there will be uproar!

Oh god driving if that happens I'll end up having a nervous breakdown. Ds starts school in September I do not need this shit!

Drivingdownthe101 · 18/05/2020 19:34

The problem is, the (hopefully small but very vocal) number of teachers who don’t want to go back to school now, will want to go back even less in September.

Cardigan, my Rington's man came today, too - it was really quite exciting to see him. He even left me his mobile number in case I ran out of tea. I am now waiting for the window cleaner to turn up.

Bollss · 18/05/2020 19:35

Exactly! But when you say well what will happen in September? Nobody can answer it!

Mascotte · 18/05/2020 19:39

I don't think schools in Scotland will go back
In August either now. St N is pure dementor

“ I'm not willing to stay locked down until a vaccine, but a dear friend will have to and I really need to go out for a pint with her.”

And if there isn’t one?

Mascotte · 18/05/2020 19:40

And no, nobody ever answers what will happen in September

NI are doing better than England now

They can meet in groups of 6 from Tuesday...is that tomorrow or Tuesday week?

KindlyFOD · 18/05/2020 19:40

Can I join in please? Grin

I'm hoping common sense resumes soon and this lockdown ends.

Hobnobswantshernameback · 18/05/2020 19:41

Nothing changes

Tigger “ It's becoming really obvious in recent weeks that we are not all in this together and people are loving judging others. ”

So true.

The 160 is actually fewer if you follow nhs data.

They don’t want any good news to be headline news. My mother is starting to use the term propaganda which is a bit shocking!
