Actually most of it is sensible.

Had he held schools off for a further 3 weeks, (I can't see the sense of them back for 3 weeks), that would have been a better route in my view.

I think all schools back in 2 weeks time, for 3 weeks is risky.
Too much so in my view.

However, I'll wait and see obviously.
No way do I think it wise to have all schools back however.

That's going to open more and more groups out in the community and in stores too.

The plans seem reasonable enough, though it is a bit early for him to say irreversible

I was expecting a staged return .. .. younger primary children initially then check the stats after two or three weeks to see what difference that makes

Plus I’ve no idea how we as a school ( using our own staff members) are supposed to test over 1,200 pupils and well over 100 staff ... TWICE weekly ... as well as continuing with all the lessons !?!?

Yes, I'd have supported more a phased return too Zizu.

Withano 22-02-2021 06:07 PM

The UK death chart basically looks the same as the kids back to school chart so I’m not getting my hopes up

Prof Whitty is going over the Study work
saying how Vaccines is stopping older folks
go to Hospital.

Cherie 22-02-2021 06:27 PM

Eat dirt Macron AZ vaccine is 90% effective in over 80s

Laura BBC
Asking 1st question


When will you say that Covid is over?

[Laura Kuenssberg from the BBC asks the PM - when will you be
prepared to say that 'this is over?' She also asks the scientists
about how many more deaths can we expect
when we relax rules.
She also asks what do they expect full vaccine uptake to be?

Mr Johnson says
the roadmap takes us
on a one-way journey - and sets out his timetable to open
up once again,
and reiterates that he will be "guided by the science".

Prof Whitty says
that talking about death numbers "isn't useful",
but says Covid will be added to the list of other
respiratory infections where deaths will continue to occur - and says this
will be a long-term problem, particularly in winter.

On vaccine uptake - Prof Whitty says vaccinating children is a
long way off, and says the priority is the adult groups.]

Cheaky Sam of SkyNewsHD
says will he resign if he has to do another Lockdown.



Johnson says he hopes its irreversible

Zizu 22-02-2021 06:49 PM

Chris Whitty is adamant that schools are very safe places for CHILDREN but didn’t mention how safe the one million education STAFF are .... other than saying we are relatively safe COMPARED to professions working on the front line like doctors and nurses !!

That is not at all reassuring !

No it's not.
When he could say you were as very safe too rather than relatively safe, then open up.

Anyway the prediction and warning now is deaths will rise.
Sadly that seems a price worth paying to them to open up and lose yet more lives then.
Sorry but that disgusts me.

I wasn’t impressed with Sir Patrick either.. pointing out that schools will be back for three weeks and then it’s the Easter break . ... so at that time they can reassess the situation and see if it’s safe to lift more restrictions or NOT !!!!

That’s sounds like we ( the staff in education) are being used as guinea pigs .. once again

That thinking would have been more acceptable, just, had they done as you said, only had some schools back not all.

I agree, it does sound a guinea pig scenario, and that's dangerous and should'nt be acceptable.
