Whilst I don't disagree with the principle, the reality is that businesses need more than 5-7 days notice. They will also want to review the impact of any relaxations before pressing forward too. They had three weekly reviews last year, and I expect the same this time round. Edited February 22, 2021 by Todd_is_God 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 It’s nice reading all these stories of families being reunited etc but one of the first things I’ll be doing when things reopen is going to an old man boozer on my own, finding a quiet corner where I’ll spend the afternoon drinking pints of Tennents lager and watching the world go by. It’ll be enhanced somewhat, if they’ve got the horses in the telly and I can lose a few quid having a flutter. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move spring holiday last two weeks March and turf turn in after Easter weekend but doubt that is a goer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if there will be a review next Tuesday anyway, as there isn't one currently planned (as lockdown hasn't yet been extended beyond 28th Feb meaning there is (currently) no need for one) and we will be into whatever is set out in the roadmap. I was meant to get knee surgery on 23rd March last year. Op got cancelled. Going into jubilee next Tuesday.

Pretty sure they are still allowing crowds at sports as well. Noticed there was about a thousand or so at Slavia vs Leicester on Thursday.

vikingTON Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 What credible grounds are there for maintaining a 'stay at home' order and actively trying to enforce this for the whole of March? That so many people are just willing to write this off for the promise of jam tomorrow is disturbing tbh. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move spring holiday last two weeks March and turf turn in after Easter weekend but doubt that is a goer. I wonder if the two-weeks before Easter may be deliberate. It will allows us as teachers get them back in and settled, try and work out where we are and have a couple weeks of revision of the things taught remotely to catch any kids who fell through the cracks. Then we can kick on as much as possible in that last term. It also then allows a smaller buffer period to see if there was a jump in infections, although that two week window may not be enough time to get a full picture. I teach in Edinburgh, so we are due to have the week that we came back early given back to us this summer but I'm not against them moving it another point later in the year given that's two whole terms most of the kids will have missed in the last two years.

I thought it wasn't extended beyond 28 Feb at the last review pending tomorrows statement but that does not appear to be the case.Can forget anything bar schools until well into April (probably post Easter school holidays) if that's the case. Non essential retail late April then beer gardens May pubs indoors June / July would be the script on that timeline [emoji848] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this one should be far more nuanced I agree give notice of a fortnight but review it every week for more things easing so outdoor visitors attractions and then a week later outdoor sports stadia etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's completely bizarre to extend given that the end of March is nearly 40 days away and the landscape will hopefully be entirely different in a couple of weeks. I'm wondering if she made a mistake and actually meant the start of March, or end of February? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered if they were shoving infants in for a month to get indication infection rates in prep after holidays. My youngest has been impacted the most but my eldest is going miss out on residential which he’s gutted about. Says he wasn’t going to prom anyway! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
