I hope it goes well. I'm sure there are ways risk can be reduced. GP has reservations so that is important. Hopefully your manager will be fully supportive.

Well said Max. I dont think there can be many people who are not deeply concerned about the physical and emotional wellbeing of all childeren from pre schoolers. My grandson starts "big school" in September . So far the source of comfort in this pandemic is the hope that he and his two year old...

I think a major trait of the government is that the plight of anyone less fortunate than him is simply not on his radar. He is in his own privileged little bubble. It's well documented hes not one for reading policy documents. I dont think he can comprehend that someone might have to be forced...

Must admit the news today does feel more disheartening than usual. After the somewhat wild speculation its seems that the government is disinclined to change anything, pubs will remain open etc. Schools will return in September. Apparently the guidelines for schools and parents are on Gov.Uk...

Oh dear. The latest news speculation is that its young people who should be told to stay indoors.! I predict a riot,or two[emoji848]. Apparently us over 50s are to vital to the economy,yayy! Of course it's all it's all rabid speculation, although I have seen mention that such ideas are...

Indeed it is and the only way those who are more vulnerable can protect themselves is strict social distancing ,which is perfectly possible until come to work environment and accessing work etc. I've just read the Mirror article and there are some interesting suggestions such as specific times...

Heartbreaking.

It certainly seems to feel more chaotic by the day. I must admit for the past week I only turn on tv/ radio in the early evening. I check a few sources that seem the most reliable only. Plus this thread[emoji4]. I must admit my sense of wellbeing has gone through the roof. Even the guidelines on...

Sometimes I almost wish the governments actions were down to stupidity as their callousness is beyond belief. Fingers crossed they feel pushed into doing something about schools soon. They will only do something when forced or no other option,well unless you are a small but rich group. I think...

I checked out the Gov.UK guidelines for clinically vulnerable people and they have been adapted again to you can go outside as much as you like,mix with others as much as like but try an maintain social distancing,no mention of household or bubbles etc. It does indeed appear nonsensical when it...

Ah sometimes it's difficult to know whether to laugh or scream[emoji849]. Still we can all test space and face or whatever the latest is. George Orwell must have been psychic [emoji848]

Couldnt put it better myself. Independent Sage always interesting and today commented on the public's increasingly disengagement from the government. Also commented on the influence that those who have vested interests in making/ selling of alcohol have on the government both now and previously...

I havent received one,maybe it depends on area/gp? To be honest the government advice for shielded/high risk is mix with your own household and stringently socially distance etc elsewhere. Unfortunately they are also implying that the risk is much less . Which for certain groups it may be. Who...

I had a feeling this might be the case. Union didnt leap on it when I suggested it. I think it's a case of having to gather a lot of solid evidence to prove it's happening. In my case its proved tiring and stressful so stepped away for a week. Good article in Guardian about how those who are...

Thank you so much both of you. I know my daughter had her temperature taken but not sure about rest. I have made my mind up now is not the right time but is interesting to see how closely my hairdresser is following the guidelines. I will be discretely questioning my daughter!

Yes this is how it should be done [emoji106]

It all seems a bit up in the air at the moment. One resource that seems quite useful is the covid reporting app. It shows daily how areas and cases are changing. Interestingly my local town has gone up a notch and an area adjacent is even higher. Explains why daughters fiance has been working in...

Glad to hear it's working out well,must admit I'm glad I havent had to home school anyone!

Thankyou. Yes it does seem to vary tremendously in barbers/ hairdressers. Some are exceptionally strict with a one in one out policy, gloves/mask/ visor for hairdresser. Disposable towels/gowns. Thoroughly cleaning between each client. Some it's a lot like pre Covid! I know my hair dresser has...

I must admit looking at it in black and white its seems an very unwise thing to do. My daughter has the kindest of intentions but would be the first to admit shes not one for watching the news etc. Shes sensible, she has to be because of her job. Shes probably not even aware of the current...
