Spot on for me this.
Of course they are stopping the shielding too on 1st August.
For the more vulnerable sick and elderly.
I'm sorry but for me there's at this time far too much uncertainty around this virus.
Even to new flare ups now.
It's no good ' thinking ' it's safe for this, that or the other.
No risks should taken until much more is known.
With everything secure and in place.
'Knowing' over ' thinking ' the better way for me.
Your worries re your Dad are commendable.
I hold the same worries for my own Mum.
I agree with TS too re schooling in some form to be done of course.
Preferably home schooling.
I'm surprised more of that hasn't been put in place anyway all these months really.
