Where's The Uk Exit Strategy?
France and Spain have announced detailed plans for their phased ending of lockdown. Although the UK is a little bit behind them in terms of the Covid crisis, the British public deserve to be given some sort of hope of the return to the "new normal".

And yet, it shouldn't have been. It seems clear to me that if you know a virus is dangerous, but don't know for certain how dangerous it is, then what else do you expect governments to do but err on the side of caution? What we have seen for certain is a remarkable increase in weekly death rate, replicated in countries across the world. The risk is most prominent amongst the over-60s and those with other health conditions but it is still a concern: you can hardly treat people who were otherwise expected to live for some time yet as "expendable".

I would love it if garden centres and craft shops reopened so more people could keep themselves amused.
Our local bus service has gone from 6-8 mins to every half hour, this means they are far more crowded than they would otherwise be. They also have to turn away mums with pushchairs because they already have the allowed number on board. Better to run a more frequent service so social distancing is easier
round here getting to a supermarket without a car means a bus or a minimum 30 .minutes walk for a less mobile person not really doable due to the number of steep hills, and there are a lot of people who are already on low incomes they can't afford the local shops.

Most classrooms I teach in are the size of my lounge. If social distancing is to be followed you could probably not get more than half a dozen in there. Maybe 10 in the largest classrooms.
But the plan I'm sure is for phased return- only certain years in on certain days, and classes to be spread out across the available rooms. I'm sure some parents will still keep their children away so that will keep attendance down too.
An equally big challenge is school buses
