Guilt Free Railing 10

[WouldBeGood]

Is the end nigh?

I wonder what tier we'll be in when we can go on holiday without tests and vaccine statuses - tier 101?

After a fantastic day on a west coast beach yesterday what a come down to be back in rainy east Dunbartonshire drying washing on radiators and waiting for yet another covid update.

Anyone know what time she's on?

I hope she gets rid of the social distancing indoors especially for leisure activities!
We haven't been able to take DS swimming outside his private lessons at all! The damn stupid tank things and the massive limit that has on slots means it's always booked up within 2 minutes of it going live for the next week at midnight!

Ah swimming, we don't mention it anymore as it just causes upset!

Face coverings to be kept.

Track and trace will continue.

Self isolation staying the same.

Local closures will take place if needed, along with travel restrictions.

Home working to continue. Hybrid working to be considered.

Large scale events to be monitored indoor and outdoor.

Ventilation and hand washing etc.

Social distancing will be no longer mandatory from Monday but is advised.

Developing an app for Covid status. Will be available next month.

So nothing actually changes. What a waste of time.

Cheers for the update Groove.

How is MrG doing?

Fuck sake

Railing against our fucking leader

Seems like if you are double jagged and get a negative PCR test then you don't need to isolate. That will help massively with staffing issues when someone has to isolate. I know the current nursery team are all currently jagged. Although I dunno how we would identify close contacts of under 5's as they move so quickly.

By Christ, she can fair waffle. I'm grateful to those who weed out the actual information and post it in layman's terms. My brain just can take in what she says.

Cheers for the update Groove.

How is MrG doing?

He's doing well. But I feel he needs some physio as he's struggling with getting up and down. He's feeling good but still building up his stamina after 8 months of being housebound really. Thanks for asking x

See? My brain can't take in what she says.

No whole class isolations in primary but close contacts are very likely to turn out to be the whole class anyway!
Masks at secondary for 6 weeks (though "under review"). She said staff to keep 1m distance from other staff which is a change from last term.

Sorry, being kept under review

That's my thoughts too x

But staff are vaccinated. I thought the reason she was retaining nonsense mitigations in schools was because kids weren't vaccinated. But staff are, so why the 1m distancing? Surely if anyone should be 1m apart it should be the kids, but obviously that's not possible.

Also, presumable the dirtiest places of all nightclubs can reopen - but with masks? You have to wear masks to dance? Because you don't have to wear a mask to jump on a trampoline in a trampoline park. How the hell are you going to get off with a stranger if you're wearing a mask??

It's a bit emperor's new clothes again - what exactly has changed?

Social distancing advised but not mandatory?

Bloody hell.

Haudyourwheesht aren't all workers suppose for aim for 1m SD though? Not just teachers. They could still pass it to each other and be off sick.

Thing is, my colleagues are much less likely to sneeze or cough in my face. My under 5's take the sharing suggestion a bit far some days.

(I merged the comments about schools and nightclubs together in my head, and was wondering why teachers needed to be able to get off with each other when it's not even Christmas )

What a dick!

Sharing is caring, Groovee

It's long hours. It can be hard to meet people.

Masks in nightclubs??!!
