Not really.
I’m in tier four in the Midlands and my children’s school is fully closed except KW kids. There’s loads of schools off now.

Onedropbeat · 04/01/2021 18:45

Yes for all the children who are off
Of which there will be many many more come tomorrow

Kljnmw3459 · 04/01/2021 18:48

Shock I think you're right, OP.

Oh no, have to mentally prepare for this.

namesnamesnamesnames · 04/01/2021 18:48

Oh God. Next it'll be bloody draw with Rob every day too.

Onedropbeat · 04/01/2021 18:49

If you mean Bob Ross I’d be happier with that than joe wicks 😂

This was tweeted nearly an hour ago

The UK Covid level is different to the tier systems. I know...not confusing at allWink

Onedropbeat · 04/01/2021 19:05

That explains a lot of confusion Grin

YouBoughtMeAWall · 04/01/2021 19:06

He hasn’t confirmed anything. He’s just reacting to what has been on every single news report on every single platform all day long. He doesn’t have a hotline to Bojo.

GalaxyCookieCrumble · 04/01/2021 19:10

Yes this has all been planned before Christmas, wake up fgs

MandUs · 04/01/2021 19:12

Maybe he's putting it on for the Scottish kids, which had their lockdown announced a while ago.

WhatTiggersDoBest · 04/01/2021 19:16

But they've already announced that most of the schools are closed for the next couple of weeks. Seems like a good marketing strategy to restart his classes now.

Dyrne · 04/01/2021 19:17

I don’t think there’s some grand conspiracy.

  1. Scottish schoolchildren are off and I’m not entirely certain but I believe Scotland has internet access and therefore can access PE with Joe.

  2. Companies/Brands (and The Body Coach is definitely a brand) are reading all the same news stories and briefings we are and making plans accordingly - it’s obvious someone such as Joe Wicks will be planning ahead. With Scotland just announcing, the massive calls for school closure, and Boris’ upcoming “announcement”, it’s a reasonable guess that it’s going to be about schools closing (given there’s not much left that can be locked down!)

negomi90 · 04/01/2021 19:17

Yes we're probably about to go into lockdown. No that tweet doesn't mean that Joe Wicks knows things. There are enough children as it is (with Scotland and tier 4 and worried parents) at home to justify him restarting even without formal lockdown.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 04/01/2021 19:19

Joe isn’t the only one. Dr Chris and Dr Xand from operation ouch are doing science lessons daily from tomorrow.

Oh FGS!

There are already enough kids not in school.

YouBoughtMeAWall · 04/01/2021 19:21

Joe is actually quite late with his announcement considering school closures in the UK were announced on New Year’s Eve.

MarthaWashingtonsFeralTomcat · 04/01/2021 19:24

It was just a bit of a joke. Obviously there isn't a huge conspiracy. I agree thr writing is on the wall for England, but of course it could be for Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish kids (though why the 11th not this week). I just think this is so fascinating - the drip feeds and media testing stuff.

Obviously, I'm not exactly thrilled about having my mental health and finances destroyed again. But it's fascinating all the same.

Where do they do those please?
namesnamesnamesnames · 04/01/2021 19:27

Wow. People really did take this seriously!

JoeWicksSurvivor · 04/01/2021 19:27

Not sure I’ll make it through this time round!!!

Bluntness100 · 04/01/2021 19:30

It’s all over the media that we are going into tougher lock down, it’s been leaked, Boris didn’t phone joe wicks and personally inform him..😂

Peppafrig · 04/01/2021 19:30

@MarthaWashingtonsFeralTomcat Scottish school kids are on extended school holidays this week . They aren’t due to online school till the 11th.

Dashel · 04/01/2021 19:31

I saw his post on Facebook and thought exactly the same. Joe Wicks comes across as a lot nicer than a politician and I would much prefer him updating the nation, at least he would care and he comes across as genuine and sympathetic. Plus he could do a live workout afterwards to cheer us all up and get the endorphins flowing.
