Are they not closing tomorrow? Could be wrong.

Are they not closing tomorrow? Could be wrong.

My kids are off from yesterday . Some other schools closed earlier using their teaching training day's

I know a teacher who got an email tonight to say to be in school monday as anyone who is on frontline services will be able to leave their kids in school and there was a list which covered about 50% of all job types. Whats the point?

Some saying has to be both parents jobs on the list. Still confusion even at this stage.

Will cut numbers surely, will be like a childcare service for necessary personnel but still far off complete shutdown

Far from ideal but then what is

The vast majority of people won't be sending their kids to school. You would be mad to unless you really needed to.

As Jim said, babysitting, primary schools will be effectively still be at work, as parents who don't want too, or can't work from home will drop their kids off, as leaving them with grandparents isn't an option.

Secondary schools might be different as the kids in most cases can possibly look after themselves during this time. My biggest fear will be kids that actually go to school to be safe rather than staying home in an abusive home.

Disaster this is going to cause lots of problems!!

A bit of clarification has appeared from the Headteachers Union which is going to cause carnage. Essentially no school is mandated to provide this service they are being asked to help as part of the national response... essentially this is a care service to be offered and not education and they've been advised that no more than 20% of children should be accommodated.

Along with that schools have been advised to offer places to certain families but then the list of key workers is so broad it opens up a complete can of worms!!

Along with that you're going to struggle getting teachers to come into provide this service... there will be lots of shit going on with this over the next week!!!

Anybody in any doubt at this stage of the gravity of what we are facing just watch this. It is unbelievable what the UK are at. Ireland who have been very proactive still should go for a full lock down as quickly as possible. Same goes for the UK who are in a worse position and about a week behind the actions of Ireland. Its going to be a grim few weeks until we notice the benefits of the mass self isolation.

UK mortality rate currently tracking harder than Italy. Only Spain is worse off.

I don't like the shape of that US curve. It's bending in the wrong direction.

Once the job crisis hits in the next few days it will cause a huge ripple effect across families, once the pressures start hitting everyone  then the cracks will appear.

The panic will be crazy. The GB government all talk about timing and ensuring that they have a handle on it. No country will or has in Europe until they lock down properly, when will the south do that? If they do the North needs to follow.

Don't be silly. If the UK is going to have a holocaust then Northern Ireland has to have one too in order to prove how British it is.

At least that seems to be the attitude of unionism at the minute.

If you saw the TV this evening, they will wait until next weekend and see what the trend is, 15 days after the extra measures were introduced. If needed then you could have a serious lockdown, or if the line has flattened they'll just tweak the arrangements.

The older generation made Boris's glorious Brexit a reality.  Now potentially hundreds of thousands of them won't be around to see it ... thanks to Boris and his government's ineptitude in the face of COVID-19. Shocking lack of control in the face of a devastatingly defining moment for the UK.

If this doesn't guarantee the end of the UK I don't know what will.

I think a lockdown for the 26 will be announced this weekend.
