rather busy for a Monday. Outdoor market has five stalls on the go. Loads of folk idling about sat in the sun having lunch coffee etc. Biggest problems are banks. And the brats.
A lot are already open. Not that I'd be sending my kid there this side of the summer holidays. But neither would I be taking them into the town centre.
School attendance isn’t mandatory and they won’t make it so given their exposure on liability if a kid got infected and passed that to someone who died.
Thinking of your posting name, and on the same theme of needing to abide by absolute correctness without appreciating the wit and whim of others, reminds me of a serious student who once lived next door to me. He was from Hull (which is wholly irrelevant). During the course of a drunken group discussion (he was sober) over whether the correct interpretation was: "High on a hill stood a lonely goat, heard lay ee odl" etc. or "High on a hill stood a lonely goatherd, lay ee odl" etc ...the student from Hull said that it must be the second interpretion above, because goats are solitary creatures and would thus never be lonely. I miss those days of cut and thrust, and conversations about changing the world. That's my only goat story too.
Kids to worry about or yourself to worry about? Only 2 children of school age in the Entire UK have passed away of covid-19 according to the stats. Or to put it another way, one in 5.3 million. Not that it really matters whether it's the kids who die from it or whether they pass it on to you who dies from it I supposed (though to you I'm sure it matters obviously) it's still the risk of SOMEONE dying because of the school
Oh that’s it then let me get her school bag ready. Only 2 die, No mention of how many infected, seriously or otherwise. This Govt and it’s official stats throughout this pandemic has filled me up no end with confidence. NOT.
I did make a big point of saying that it's the risk of anyone dying as a result of the virus being picked up at school. In other words the stats (not just this country by the way, worldwide) suggest that your daughter has a ridiculously tiny chance of the worst happening as a result of covid-19. BUT the important thing is the risk of her bringing it home to you or other family members.
