Can't help but feel they are going to end up closing all the schools due to national pressure
It should have been closed and the announcement should have been made over the Christmas holidays, it's not safe for schools to stay open.

Yes, I don't understand why teachers are not a priority on the vaccine front. It makes no sense. The last term despite schools opening, lots were not able to teach properly due to staff/students in and out of isolation.Think its a case of priorities. The government is prioritising education over business, hospitality, retail etc. - that's understandable.
But the vaccine rollout doesn't match this - if this is the case teachers and education workers all need to be vaccinated before they reopen.
More waffle on the way!Boris is addressing the nation at 8 p.m. tonight. I feel a full countrywide lockdown coming on.
And rhubarb, don't forget the rhubarb!More waffle on the way!
And rhubarb, don't forget the rhubarb!
be surprised if 2 weeks is enoughRumours are 2 weeks (ish) of lockdowns to try and smash through vaccinations and then hopefully things should start to improve. Normally I take no notice of rumours on news sites etc, but this government leaks like a sieve..
There have been a further 58,784 coronavirus cases confirmed across the UK, the government says.If its 8pm its likely to be a big one. Another full national lockdown looming,
I really want to see today's figures, (the ones we get tomorrow reflecting what happened today) these will be the first proper figures not messed up by bank holidays and the Christmas break and should start to reflect any increase due to Christmas mixing. I am NOT expecting a huge rise, maybe a small one followed by a plateau as the rates in London subside but the north and midlands increase, with that followed by a gradual drop nationally. I dont see this situation warrants going full bananas into another lock down. The govt are quick enough to get the army logistics people to help with supplying tests and vaccines, so what about the RAMC, can they be deployed to help the NHS?
Schools need to stay open, or we are going too end up with a generation of Ralph Wiggums. Does anyone have any evidence that children are spreading the virus in school and then taking it home and infecting their parents?
Because there are no plans to vaccinate children. So are we saying schools are unsafe and need to be closed until all the vulnerable people are vaccinated? in which case, you're looking at Easter until they reopen. Which would be donkey bollocks of the highest order.
Yeah - it is looking like cases are still going up across tier 4 areas from what I can see.There have been a further 58,784 coronavirus cases confirmed across the UK, the government says.
There have also been a further 407 deaths within 28 days of a positive test, taking the total by that measure to 75,431.
