I truly give up with this bunch of fuckwits!

I don't believe they actually know what they are doing!!!

[Jeepers Creepers]

Closure of all non-essential retail

Closure of close contact services such as hair and beauty salons and driving instructors; exemptions for those in film and TV production, those involved in health and social care services and elite sport services

Hospitality will only be permitted to offer takeaway services - food and drink in motorway services, airports and harbour terminals remain open

Closure of all leisure and entertainment to include soft play areas, gyms and swimming pools

Sporting events only permitted at elite level and to be played without spectators

Closure of places of worship with exceptions for weddings, civil partnerships and funerals - the maximum number present will remain at 25

It is understood that close contact services and coffee shops that are due to reopen on Friday can still do so - but only for one week.

DUP are backtracking after trying to push things on last week.

People on here giving out about the parties at Stormont.

In reality 4 are of the same page, the DUP are even not in the book.

Why can they not close schools? Or operate on alternate weeks eg half of each year group attend class via zoom at home while the other half is physically in the school building?

Key thing is nobody knows how many teachers are off with Covid?

[imtommygunn]

What constantly baffles me with that executive and COVID decisions is this... they constantly say it takes two weeks of lockdown to see results yet they set up two week lockdowns at a time. How can you ever know the results of that if you do two weeks then go back?

(Many other things baffle me too like the week in between we have with places having spent money to reopen to be told they're shut again in a week plus they seem to want to do harder restrictions now to avoid them at Christmas which is surely just inviting a spike round post Christmas??)

The elephant in the room is constantly schools.

[From the Bunker]

Why can they not close schools? Or operate on alternate weeks eg half of each year group attend class via zoom at home while the other half is physically in the school building?

Because closing school puts pressure on working Parents.

Because closing school means the kids will hang out together anyway.

Because closing schools puts pressure on finishing School curriculums.

Because Schools have been closed for 3 and a half months already.

Because Teachers get full wages whether Schools are open or closed.

Because everybody else is getting on with things.

Because Economics and Science have merged and are try to keep this sh1t show going!
