It's almost gone now but just think of the tracing kerfuffle that might have occurred.

A difficult call.
You could need a positive test before any tracing would need to be done I think. You can order them to be delivered too.

True. But there would have been some degree of panic in our household and a 200 mile trip to an available testing centre!

Word on the street (from a friend who works at the Council) is that if it doesn’t improve before Thursday, Mr. Lockdown will be coming to visit...

The email the Chief Exec sent to council staff yesterday was more pessimistic than optimistic.

... and now we have a child sent home from school for 2 weeks after a classmate tested positive. :(

Thankfully school distributed chromebooks to her year yesterday so she won’t miss anything. :D. I’m not sure which she’s more cross about ...

No one takes any notice anyway. Apart from the businesses that have to close nothing else changes.

It certainly didn't in Calderdale.

Same here ... aforementioned classmate continued to be sent to school for several days after her mother tested positive. Now the daughter is positive and a significant chunk of her year group is having to self-isolate. Days of disruption to the schooling of dozens of kids in their important exam year just because one woman was too dumb or selfish (or both) to heed basic advice and keep the family home.

It's below the news radar at the moment but if the daughter has spread it to any significant extent while at school, asymptomatic and infectious it's all going to kick off big time.

I can vouch for that. Don't get caught short at Rastrick cemetery! especially not on a bleak winter's day.

Did she go abroad before that? Coz that'll make it even worse!

The village jungle drums are a-beating, but so far all anyone’s prepared to say is that it’s fairly typical behaviour for the mother.

My understanding is that 50 children from the high school have now been sent home for 14 days because of this.
