Our local council are worried we're facing a local lockdown here soon, as basically since pubs opened, then schools, infection rates have gone up and up and up...
Only recently, a school not far from us the entirety of their year 3 has had to go into self isolation as so many of the students in that year tested positive, then the McDonalds near us has had to close for a deep clean as a member of staff has also tested positive....
On a less doom and gloom side.... Of our 4 daughters (1 has her own flat and child of her own), our 2nd oldest has just gone back to college, and hopefully so far their social distancing measures seem to be ok. There were 14 of them in her group, and they moved room before they even started as it was decided that the room was too small for the group to distance in properly. They also ate their lunches together in this room. She's also been told that she needs a 2nd face mask, as they want her to have one that she uses only for when she goes into animal enclosures. Our 3rd oldest goes to a special school, and they are working with bubbles. Her bubble is all collected on the same bus, those who can wearing face masks on the bus (it's an autism specialist school, so not always possible), are taught together and eat lunch etc together. Oh, and she's complained that she has to wash her hands a heck of a lot. Her uniform has to be washed every day when she gets home. So unlike normal schools, they are doing things differently. Number 4 is home educated (number 3 was too, and is now blasting her way through college happily, this is her 2nd year) as to be quite blunt I wouldn't send a dead dog to our local schools. The kids in them are criminals in the making, and the teachers are so dumb and lazy it leaves me wondering how they got through university at all.....
