Yes, No or Maybe answers only please.

As the WHO have now criticised the UK Government's strategy; death rates today doubled and we simply have no idea of the actual numbers of cases due to very limited testing. I'm seriously considering following the advice of WHO and most other European governments and self-isolating me and the kids from Monday.

Yes. Both v vulnerable so a no brainer.

bananajelly · 14/03/2020 15:54

You have asked contradicting questions.

"Will you be sending the kids to school"
"I'm self isolating, are you?"

So unfortunately you may get some confusion to just have yes and no answers.

I am sending my children in, but will be keeping an eye on the ever changing news.

I don’t see why you wouldn’t if you and immediately family are fit and healthy

HaveAtEm · 14/03/2020 15:57

I've got no choice, I'm a teacher 😱

ThinkPinkStink · 14/03/2020 15:57

Maybe.

LoonyLunaLoo · 14/03/2020 15:57

Yes because I work in education so no school closures mean I have to work!

Helenj1977 · 14/03/2020 15:57

No.

I've asked the school, no fines and they will support my decision. We'll be seriously social distancing now.
