After lockdown was lifted pre September and pubs, restaurants etc were opened we seemed to have a handle on Covid with cases, hospital admissions and deaths all declining fairly steadily. Since we released millions of school aged children and thousands of teachers etc back into the classroom- boom, cases and consequently deaths, are now growing very rapidly again. It didn't take a rocket scientist to work out that this would happen. I work in a school and I have a 15 year old starting his gcse's so I 100% don't want the schools to close but surely there must be a more workable solution? Couldn't schools be one week, one week off for different bubbles or alternate days? Nobody wants schools to shut but surely in the long term if we don't get something safer in place and just continue sending kids and adults in day after day, then eventually they will close again?

Lol, fine thanks, do you need your tea stirring?

@2X4B523P I'm ok thanks. I will have an egg sarnie and finish off the Cinzano :o

One of my favourite moments during lockdown was thinking "I might get mid table" on a paid for RD quiz and winning, on my own, over 74 other teams!!

Congratulations, to celebrate I would upgrade the egg sandwich to a triple egg sandwich with chilli sauce and chutney.
