Press Conference at 8

[Beebityboo]

Says Peston. Predictions?

His hands have been glued together

True nerves, or body language training.

He shouldn't say that the end is in sight. The last time he thought we'd get through this by Christmas. He isn't Mystic Meg!

Will they actually close the borders or are we squandering this one too?

School nurseries and reception classes are part of schools so will be only accepting KW/v children.

February half term!

What did he say about exams?

This announcement has made me quite emotional not sure why as the others didn't affect me but the NHS overwhelmed in 21 days part just seems so awful.

He didn’t say much about cancelling exams

also, has he said what time lockdown will start?

Yes I know he can't go to the barber but Carrie could give his hair a trim!
I know he has more on his mind to be fair.
Very forceful message.
Will people obey all this ?
Let's hope so.

The end is in sight.....in 2037

😁

Argh yet z listers can still jet set to Dubai?!

@Unsure33

He looks very stressed and tired .

And he is not waffling.

Quite straight to the point.

Bubble info will be on gov uk

He must be stressed after all millions of people are living in poverty now whilst he allowed flights to land and open borders.

God so noisy here annoying!

Exams feels a big deal feel ready bad about that

He didn't add helping the vulnerable to the list this time!! My parents are housebound!!

He said they were coming up with an alternative to exams.....

@1stevernamechange

What did he say about exams?

There won’t be exams as normal but other provisions put in place

@Angelofdeath

Sorry I stopped paying attention as I'm upset, nurseries attached to schools? Open or shut?

I think this relates to private settings.

Our school nursery is remaining shut as we follow the same rule as in the primary school. Nursery is not compulsory either so we are not opening fully. We do have some full time children of critical workers in though.

Sorry I got lost, my brain just switches off when he talks. Are all schools closed until Feb half term?

Dd was complaining loudly as I was trying to listen. Are schools closed until half term?

@CovidCarol

He said they were coming up with an alternative to exams.....

I'm sure Gavin is working on it as we speak ..

He said early years settings are able to open but I think this is in relation to private settings
