Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

Is the coronavirus going home for Christmas Lunch with it’s family so the rest of us can get on with having a lovely family day. Would be nice if it did - apparently the turkey farmers need to know ???

There was an article on the BBC yesterday about the rule of 6 being removed for Xmas Day so that families could get together.

That must be a joke surely! Will the virus be in a festive spirit? :ROFLMAO:

Bet all those who complain about those who break the guidance and rules will be having all the family round and claiming a socially distanced dinner! :unsure:

Schools and teachers in particular are doing a hell of a lot of things to try and prevent the spread, including a lot of cleaning, minimizing sharing of stuff etc. On every schools website will (should) be a risk assessment detailing all they are doing and they make interesting reading.

Desks are sprayed and wiped every lesson and kids use hand gel when they enter rooms. Pupils wear masks in corridors and teachers wear masks when near pupils.
Makes for a tiring day!
 
Well got a letter from the headmaster that is a positive case in the school. It does not identify if staff or student. From the letter it sounds like a Year 3 child. Hence all those in the Y3 bubble will have to stay at home. The Y3 staff have been tested and currently waiting results. If indeed this is true, then it squashes the theory that young children cant get it and therefore dont transmit it to staff.

Nobody said that children couldn't get it, but that they are much less likely to get a symptomatic case than older kids or adults, or to do badly.

Apologies that is true... my pub visit means i cant think correctly. The one i wanted to raise was more around kids being spreaders rather than being symptomatic. Assuming this was a 8 year old - they are now having the teaching staff checked over, their own parents/grans and also parents/grans of kids in his/her bubble.

My son's class, year 2 are currently isolating, year 1 are currently isolating and reception class have just started back after isolating.

Small school in an area of low infection rates.

The school year for all ages is going to be very stop start with several periods of isolation I suspect.

Maybe the virus is Christian and therefore does not work on the 25th. It too needs a day off. It has already stopped working after 10pm.

BTW. will Boris now blame everyone for spreading the virus during Christmas. He seems to now say that it was peoples fault for taking part in 'Eat Out' scheme..

Maybe - though I doubt it...
 
I dont really think you can decide to relax things for one day as people take piss. One day turns into two and in turn becomes a few and some will completely take the piss and do exactly what they want.

How do people feel about Trick or Treat this year..?
I have to say it doesnt strike me as a good idea.

Derry is know for throwing the biggest Halloween party in the UK. They have finally put to bed the idea of having some celebrations this year.

Partly due to the fact we have now become one of the highest areas per 100,000 in a short space of time.

Some linking the increase to a 10 day fun fair that was in operation around the 11th of September.

I remember seeing the big wheel from my window at work and couldn't belive my eyes. We couldn't use a rake at golf and this was in town. You couldn't make it up.
