Difficult decisions to be made for sure, but thats what the PM is supposed to do, he got it wrong letting schools go back last time, which clearly helped the pandemic grow again. Personally I can’t see why we can’t get Easter out of the way first regarding schools. We have to open up at some point and I would hope this time there is no dithering if the figures start to rise again

How ever we come out of lock down will be met with divided opinion. I do think though, that the most important thing to get right is that we don’t have to go back into another one. Especially not for the sake of waiting a few more more weeks.
We are getting on top of this now with vaccines, but not there yet. I think a staggered start with younger children first would have been much more sensible.Of course our kids need to be back in school, but not at any cost. After Easter for secondary students would have been a better decision. We will have had much more of our society vaccinated by then.
BB,Fair enough...didn't see that.Hound,No, not really.A bully is a bully is a bully......never acceptable for me.
The sad thing in all of this is it could've been avoided if Johnson had made the correct key decisions early on. He had several chances to close the gate before the horse bolted.
