I reckon 3 more weeks with tighter restrictions then review again. |  | | |  |

I think you need to go back and read my post. I made a number of caveats within my post and I didn't say they would be back before September.
I said it was extremely hard and unfair on the children and their education when they are getting a bit of work sent home from school which they are left to do on their own whilst their parents still in full time jobs have to work.
I fully understand that there is no good solution to that.

Are you working full time and attempting to school your kids full time?

Yes and no.
If staff numbers are not safe and current guidelines such as 2m distancing etc. means you cannot openly safely, then yes it is their decision. But obviously they will need to fairly easily justify that.
I am conflicted as I don't see how we can go back until we can safely have 30 kids in a classroom, contact on corridors etc. But likewise, this government seem the type to scapegoat schools and send us in asap to get people back to work. It's an easy smear campaign to suggest teachers have got it easy, aren't doing their jobs etc. as we are seeing it creep into social media and the like already. |
Norway, a country seen by many as an exemplar in this situation, are reopening schools from 20 April as the first step in relaxing rules. | | | |

Yes and yes, between me and the mrs. Its a unique time . We cant change things. You just have to do the best you can. Its not going to alter any time soon. You have to have a stiff upper lip and get on with it. | | | |

Australian Govt spokesperson was saying this morning they don’t see any international travel on any scale into/out of Australia until 2021.
The current lockdown in one form or another will last until June, potentially tightened within that time period.
I was at a meeting last week looking at the plans across the EU as part of our work at the FCO ame Spain are still seeing 500 deaths a day with a much stricter lockdown than we have now and 5,000 new cases a day.
We don’t get out of the lockdown until our figures are in double digits at best. |
Talking over the weekend with my brother who works with the environment agency in NZ, says closing their borders into next year being seriously considered currently. |  |

July!!!!!
RIP to a majority of small businesses and Sole Traders. |
Exactly this. No way this will go until July. They will try to get schools back for the final half term (June) and smaller businesses allowed to reopen before that id have thought.
The issue now is balancing the virus re the economy and people’s mental health. Keeping folk at home for another two and a half months is not doable. Business will go bust. Folk will be declaring themselves bankrupt. | | | |

I know. I don’t think a lot of people grasp how long this will go on or how serious this really is.
Rolling lockdowns post-June/July will be a real thing.
We can’t just “get on with it” and reopen as some would like, even in July. It will kill tens of thousands more. |  | | |

It will go on as long as it is a threat to public health.
Nothing ‘normal’ until 2021 is the current thinking, with staggered opening of businesses from July onwards, but only those just below ‘essential’ category. You won’t see restaurants, cinemas etc for a long while.
Anywhere where hundreds or thousands gather will be definitely off limits and that includes schools. | | | |

Good work, it's really not an easy task when you are working full-time as well.
