Does anyone think there could yet be a U turn over Christmas?

At least in some areas.

It seems madness to me, after having to admit things are out of control in Schools (in London and SE, if not elsewhere) to positively encourage multi generational gatherings over Christmas.

I also wonder how many people plan to have their 3 household bubble and how many will decided it's too big a risk. My parents have said they're having Christmas on their own and whilst elderly, they have no additional risk factors and are not normally anxious.

Schools here are already gearing up for carnage in the New Year. We are currently debating going back on a remote timetable.

Sadly not. It's too sensible.

Each to their own, you do you and not worry about what everyone else is doing

Which is fine if what you are doing affects only you. Unfortunately if the people doing their own thing need health treatment, that has rather a big impact on the rest of us.

Getting yourself worked up and ranting on here or SM or IRL about what others are doing isnt going to help the situation though is it? You can't change what others plan to do, all you can do is look after yourself the best you can

I'm a teacher. Daughter attends primary. Her Dad lectures at a college. We won't be seeing anyone. I hope the parents of my pupils do similar. I'm dreading January. Apart from 1 class there has been a positive case in every class I teach.
