Re: Drakefords announcement Friday

From reading the article that's what the 2 days are designed for. Schools won't know how many staff will be off, either isolating or sick, so don't want kids turning up on the first day with no one to teach them.

"Schools will have two days at the start of the new term in January to plan for pupils' return and the possibility of moving to remote learning."

Re: Drakefords announcement Friday

What will happen when Covid becomes secondary to seasonal winter 'flu ? The Govt. now has a template for these things, and with - let's say 90-95% - of the population still compliant after 2 years, I have no doubt that we'll see restrictions on movement, gatherings, wearing of masks, etc., each winter.

Zero deaths in Wales in latest figures.

Don’t even live in Wales but will be annoyed if they close everything down

I find the news here increasingly sensationalist and for the purpose of entertainment.

They latch into something and milk it for all its worth before moving on. This Christmas party for instance, every day its something else about it, allocating so much time to reporting on it at the expense of other things that are happening now.

I periodically try to avoid all news and it really doesn't effect me negatively where as consuming all the doom and gloom certainly does.

It’s definitely taken on a mind of its own, not sure they realise the harm it does to a lot of peoples health and well being? Plenty of people I know don’t even watch it anymore. Life is a lot better without it and SM.

Sounds pretty sensible to me. People are at different levels of risk.
