COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[route46]

Genuine question - what do you consider ‘foreseeable future’?

Have their been any cases at the school or in the local area?

Each to their own but unless you are keeping them in isolation in the house and away from any grandparents, it seems like a waste of time, effort and annual leave(assuming you in employment)

what do you consider ‘foreseeable future’?.....Who knows but I would have thought all schools will be shut within the next month anyway

They will be kept in isolation in the house.

luckily I work from home which makes this possible.

Ultimately each person/Family has to make the best decision from themselves best on there individual circumstances

The virus wants to find new hosts to continue its genes. When you pass it to someone else, it’s done it’s job.

so in effect the same as human reproduction

this is going to cause problems in the near future,unless the school is declaired clossed then your liable as a parent and will probably receive a fixed penalty ,one for each parent,to me its your right as a parent for you to decide and should not be the local councils, me i'd hang back untill a few infections start poping up locally then pull them out

There have been people on the radio saying there had been people taken out of school because they’d been on the skiing trip to Italy but the rest were told to say. Some(understandably in my view) said they wanted to keep their kids off whilst they sussed out what was what - they were threatened with a truancy notice

I don’t currently see the benefit of taking kids out of school unless on the advice of medics.

Fair do’s

Have you spoken to other parents, are they taking similar measures where possible? What have the school said?

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

I’d be surprised if anyone is prosecuted for taking their kids out of school from next week onwards. Can’t see it being in the public interest.

That said, nothing genuinely surprises me these days so probably best not to listen to me!

Yep.

Enjoy your fines and possible court action.

Evidence of the sheer fucking stupidity gripping folk!

Listen mate I hope I am overreacting.

It's my job as the Father to my kids to keep them as safe as possible, if that means keeping them off school for a month and paying a fine so be it.

taking your kids out while they sussed the problem would be perfectly reasonable IMO,,im from the old school no pun intended and just feel local councils have far to much power, my kids are grown up now but if they were at scool id pull the plug when i thought it was right and not them,fine or no fine

 

[Metal Biker]

Is there any sensible reasoning to say that pretty much the whole world won’t face the same levels of infection that China, and now are Italy, are suffering from?

Not on here ;)
