X" Yes And people are far more likely to comply with short term, strict rules with a promised end date, than months of grasping at various straws like we have been until now | |||

I'm not saying they are right or wrong it's the way the UK works. I'm not a fan of lockdown but I applaud Wales for trying to tackle it and their solidarity, at least in being desisive. England can't even get Manchester into another tier for Christ's sake. It remains to be seen if it all works or not, the virus will continue to spread after the lockdown ends.

Mind you due to colds/coughs & a strict head they’ve spent more time off school than in it since they went back. They’ve been home now since last Tuesday, still waiting for result from last Thursdays test. The first time it took over a week just to get the appointment! All a bit mad as we’ve spent today playing football & riding bikes outside. Not exactly signs of illness but there you go rules are rules.. S | |||

After reading some of the conspiracy theories on the forums about the virus my mind boggles.Everyone has different views and opinions on what is right and wrong and how we should be dealing with it. Who is right ? Who is wrong ? Nobody knows and nobody has all the answers.I can only do what I think is best. | |||

"6pm Friday Wales lockdown, why not now I just don't get it, why the delay its a joke " It gives people some time to plan for and manage the changes, such as business owners, staff and their associated ones too, such as childcare. A few days is reasonable, whilst people are now informed of the issue and can alter how they are behaving today too | |||

"What happens if after the lockdown the case numbers haven’t dropped significantly ? Another two weeks ? And then ? " Thing is they will drop, Drakeford has pretty much guarantee’d this by doing it during half term & then only partly reopening the schools. The real question you won’t be able to answer is how much will be due to the lockdown & how much is due to the school closure. Pretty good scam really, take the credit for any reduction without having to take any of the risk if there isn’t. S | |||
