"I know that the majority of us are wearing masks and being very sensible about the current situation. However, can the parents of children please ensure that they are either at home or if they are playing out that they are not mixing with their friends. I know it's a lot to ask however I'm sure that we all have elderly relatives and vulnerable people that all need protecting. Countless times I go out maksed up and see groups of kids who aren't related walking round without masks and mixing and hanging around with each other. We will never get the R rate down if kids are out mixing with their mates and then taking it home and spreading it to everyone else. "  | |||

"Then the parents of the children need to highlight this to their kids about how serious the situation is and then maybe they will wear their masks too and from school. I'm actually on about kids being in groups and gangs after school not in uniform knocking about with each other. Maybe these kids should be stopped and fined for not adheering to the regulations. The fines would be passed onto the parents and then maybe quickly there will be a change in attitude. " DO YOU HAVE KIDS ? | |||

So why should he wear a mask outside when adults aren’t required to do so ? Up until this evening they were following the rules and allowed to meet up outside with other households up to groups of six, just like adults so what are you fining them for when they haven’t broke any of the guidelines ? | |||

They don't allow masks once in school & the year groups use separate parts of the playground & fields. Parents now aren't allowed into the playground at morning drop off but it works way better than ever lol. We (surprisingly) haven't had a single case in school so far & it's nursery right through to year 11. Several other schools here have tho | |||

"Surprised by the no school cases where you live. We've have multiple bubbles, classes out, individual children home and isolating. Following all the same rules as outlined above. Every school I know about has had at leave one bubble out. And yes bubbles are separated, but the bubbles are year groups consisting of 120 kids in each. That's 120 possible households effectively mixing. I get why schools are open, but it really doesn't help stop the pandemic. " Where we are our cases are very low in a densely populated area and none of them are in the schools as yet. | |||

They do, you just have to realise that the parameters have changed, so the numbers are not comparable. At the start the only people getting tests were people that were getting hospitalised (so already in a serious condition), now pretty much anyone can get a test no matter how mild the symptoms. So basically we are now catching a lot of mild cases that we would have otherwise missed before. The only way to compare to at the start is to see how many people are being hospitalised with it... not I'm not sure those figures are available. | |||

"I know that the majority of us are wearing masks and being very sensible about the current situation. However, can the parents of children please ensure that they are either at home or if they are playing out that they are not mixing with their friends. I know it's a lot to ask however I'm sure that we all have elderly relatives and vulnerable people that all need protecting. Countless times I go out maksed up and see groups of kids who aren't related walking round without masks and mixing and hanging around with each other. We will never get the R rate down if kids are out mixing with their mates and then taking it home and spreading it to everyone else. Are you vulnerable? Just wondering why you are going out masked.. I wear a mask because I don't wish to catch it simples. " Masks wont stop you catching it, only a fully sealed o2 ventilated hood will do that... Masks are to slow down us spreading it. | |||

"dont know what it was like in anyone elsez area during lockdown but there were groups of kids out and about all over my town and the old bill never even stipped to talk to them let alone tell them to go home.live right oppisite a park and it was packed most days.as for schools can only go on my own experience have an 8yr old and her school has had no problems but she is off for two weeks now as her summer holidays are five weeks instead of six" Here during lockdown it felt like everyone in the neighbouring boroughs came to visit, it was busier on the streets / parks than I’d ever seen it. We didn’t have groups of kids hanging around it was groups of adults or families. The amount of times I had to cut our walk short as my lad was getting too wound up seeing people breaking the rules | |||

"I know that the majority of us are wearing masks and being very sensible about the current situation. However, can the parents of children please ensure that they are either at home or if they are playing out that they are not mixing with their friends. I know it's a lot to ask however I'm sure that we all have elderly relatives and vulnerable people that all need protecting. Countless times I go out maksed up and see groups of kids who aren't related walking round without masks and mixing and hanging around with each other. We will never get the R rate down if kids are out mixing with their mates and then taking it home and spreading it to everyone else. Do you have kids ? Yes. You make them wear masks to go out with their friends ? keeps his kids locked up" But theyre allowed to Skype | |||

" Kids, get outside, but, erm, stay on your own, yeah, just stand there, on your own...... Why though, when they are mixing with a hundred other kids all day at school. It's as senseless as most of Boris's ideas. | |||

"That’s called going to school School have systems in place to help maintain social distancing and mask wearing etc I'm on about after school where groups of kids meet up and are socialising in the streets and not wearing masks. Within the schools yes, once they leave those school gates they are not required to wear masks just like everyone else on their walk home. " I don't know of any schools making kids wear face coverings all day in class, only moving from one lesson to the next etc | |||

"Nope sorry. If my kid can sit in his classroom with all his mates, no masks (which are in fact discouraged at our school) & no social distancing. He can go play with his mates at the park since he spends all day with them anyway "Exactly | |||

They don’t have to wear them in class | |||

"Haha do people forget what it was like to be a kid.....fun fun fun and rightly so. " I think some forget that children are finding this hard to and should be able to experience one part of their life left, which simply at the moment is going to school | |||

"Quick question. Hopefully a sensible one. Every day we get these big numbers of people infected eg. 16 to 20000 or so at the moment. Within that number are there people going back for retests to see if they have moved from positive to negative after isolating ? Just wondering if it skews the number a bit if that is the case ?" The added info to the numbers is: Number of people with a lab-confirmed positive COVID-19 PCR test newly reported on Sunday, 18 October 2020. COVID-19 cases are identified by taking specimens from people and sending these specimens to laboratories around the UK for PCR swab testing. If the test is positive, this is a referred to as a lab-confirmed case. If a person has had more than one positive test they are only counted as one case. So yes the total cases overall could include the same person twice but the daily numbers only deals with positive results that day | |||

"I know that the majority of us are wearing masks and being very sensible about the current situation. However, can the parents of children please ensure that they are either at home or if they are playing out that they are not mixing with their friends. I know it's a lot to ask however I'm sure that we all have elderly relatives and vulnerable people that all need protecting. Countless times I go out maksed up and see groups of kids who aren't related walking round without masks and mixing and hanging around with each other. We will never get the R rate down if kids are out mixing with their mates and then taking it home and spreading it to everyone else. " I don't think parents need lectured from a random profile on a swinging site.
