Why should category 9 parents - already deemed a priority - be shoved out of the queue just so younger cohorts can jump in ?
Pretty much most weeks we hear of people championing different groups of queue jumpers. Just get categories 1 - 9 done first.
The priority groups are not done.
We have 9 priority categories for a reason and category 9 is due to be complete by mid April. Let's not have any queue jumpers until then.
I'm pretty hacked off that priority groups 7-9 are pretty much forgotten in this lockdown lifting saga.
He confused getting all category 1-4's done by mid February with getting all category 1-9's done by mid April.
Basic stuff... and he's in charge :facepalm:
Well, perhaps fortunately, there is no more to say about it now. It is happening.
If it turns out to be a bad mistake we can just add it to the list of blunders.
I think they've gone 3 weeks too early on school re-opening but all we can do now is look at the on-going figures and make a judgement on the facts as they present without any claims of hind sight.
I also really hope they don't have another Eat Out to Help the Virus disaster later in the year.
Yes. I have weighed up the being frazzled for 3 more weeks against hammering virus chains and saving a number of deaths and grieving families.
I am all for schools going back after Easter. I have my head in my hands thinking of them being rushed back for the sake of 3 weeks.
I gather Whitty...
I really think schools should stay shut until after the Easter holidays to "help out hammering the virus".
On the other hand they are 40% open anyway now so if we are really, really lucky we may just about get away with opening them on March 8th. Risky !
I must admit I am totally baffled why they haven't waited until after the Easter holidays. All for the sake of 3 weeks where instead they could really have hammered down the R number and saved lives as a result. :shrug:
Schools back after Easter holidays.
Rule of 6 Beer Gardens and Garden Centres to open up end of March when clocks change to BST.
Limited shops, hairdressers to open end of April.
