That's not too bad to be honest. My boys classes had 23 and 24 in them yesterday. I also find it amusing the narrative that schools are "closed", that's really not closed. Some of the parents are complaining about not having online lessons, I'm not entirely sure how their teachers would do that whilst also looking after 24 7-year-olds, whilst the Mail tells us they're at home with their feet up.

I'm lucky I'm a secondary school teacher as primaries have been sold down the river. The news that around 50 percent of pupils are still in school. Consider how many kids 14+ are likely to be in ( almost none), and therefore what percentage it must be for the younger ones. I also feel for all the parents who are trying to work at home with their kids, I did that last lock down (badly and mostly in the evenings) having to see that everyone else seems to just be sending their kids in.

Just had the weekly newsletter. The number of kids attending school has multiplied by TEN at my primary school compared to Lockdown 1

Would be very surprised if it’s any sort of serious % of capacity. 10000 at Wembley maybe.

By June we could have upto 20 million vaccinnated and the infection rate will be nowhere near what it is now. Wouldn't surprise me if they tried to limit attendance to residents of each host nation though.

Reckon we could hope for maybe 20/25% if vaccinations go well.

Maybe I’m just too pessimistic about this country not ****ing it up somehow but that sounds optimistic.

Even so, they’ll err on the side of caution.

You may well be right tbf but I didn't expect fans in December but they were, and it's nice to have a bit of hope about something. Been short of that the past 10 months.
 
Get the 13 million most vulnerable jabbed by end of feb.
Going on what we are told, that should cover at least 90% of those who become seriously ill. In theory, deaths should absolutely plummet by April. The weather turning will also help.
I fully expect us to be normalish by late May/June.

Not sure about this; I don’t think that many people disregarded government directions at Christmas. Not many people at all travelled by rail.

There was mass furore from people in massive houses in the middle of nowhere that people in tiny shared flats in London would dare leave to legally travel to their families a few days before Christmas.

Indeed. If I remember rightly, around Easter time there was similar outrage from people in big houses with ****-off gardens, about selfish Londoners walking in parks.
