It seems, at my school at least a lot of people are heeding the warnings and are keeping their kids off school.
My daughter will not be going back after today as my wife is worried, there are 2 people with 2 of the underlined conditions in my household (Pregnancy and Multiple Sclerosis).
While I understand the government's stance around the school thing at the moment as it will be a nightmare when they do eventually close, how can we be expected to avoid social contact outside the school grounds but it's ok inside?
She's washing her hands 4 times a day there and they are sore, despite taking hand cream in to use.

While I'm typing this the news is saying teachers are dropping like flies.

I'm not a panicker or anything like that (the wife is tho lol) but it's time to take action.

Stay safe peeps.
Now go and wash your hands.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Who is saying that, I'm seeing until easter, but no doubt it could possibly/would possibly continue after that.

Sturgeon kinda did, kinda didn't...
The first minister said people should not assume that schools and nurseries would reopen after the Easter break or summer holiday. “We will of course only keep them closed for as long as we absolutely have to. But at this stage, I cannot promise that they will reopen before the summer holidays.”

We'll need to see what they mean by 'delivery drivers'.
I'm thinking mainly food/fuel distribution.
