I'm just a parent, but they should be reviewing the schools question in 4 weeks time to see which areas could reopen - a blanket "shut until half-term" is not warranted.

I'm the same.

The elephant in the room. How the heck could you do it effectively for 50,000 plus cases a day, I don't know. I'd be delighted to be corrected if somebody here knows.

The only variable of where we are today vs what you describe as full lockdown IS outdoor exercise. Is that really likely to be a major transmission risk? We have been told all along you are very unlikely to catch this outside if socially distanced. I'm a bit more sceptical than you about how...

The gov.uk numbers say Brighton and Hove had a cumulative total of 7580 as at 2nd Jan, the total as at 5th Dec was 4252 (28 days earlier), so that estimate seems about right.

Say we stay in Tier 4 with Schools shut (lockdown again), but the numbers of new cases fail to decrease - then what next? That's a question I have been asking myself of late.

I should have said that, agree.

Yup, blame the parents for not successfully locking up their teenagers. In January and February. Right.

You think all these teenagers will stay at home with Mum and/or Dad? I think not.

Ta. Vaccinate all teachers as a priority Get back to school asap

Can I have go? I'm pretty sure I'd be better than the Unions and the Government....

And what about Secondary School pupils? When will the Unions judge it safe for schools to restart? And under what criteria?

What if we told everybody to lock their doors and stay home until further notice? A month or two, say. Or maybe 3? That would also have a "demonstrable effect on the R number". Does that make it a good idea? Where do you draw the line? I thought we had decided to prioritise children...

I wasn't aware that teaching unions were responsible for public health, nor expert in the subject, nor responsible for setting policy. I guess we'll see.

Madeley is the definition of a poor ref. Got Bissouma's yellow card wrong, disallowed Trossards goal wrongly. Gash ref.

A season-defining 2nd half coming up, perhaps. An unlikely fight back, OR an absolute battering. Or it stays at 1-3..... I think I've covered all the options.

Burn is having an an absolute nightmare. Again. It's not his fault, though. That would be the plank that can't see he isn't good enough.

Thought that yellow card was harsh, Biss got his toe to the ball.

I've tried watching sober. Tonight I'm 3 pints of strong cider in already. It may work.
