we are desperate to find out about university and face to fave teaching and no one has mentioned it yet.

Not clear if universities are included in schools and colleges

Poor DS needs to decide what to do wrt his halls of residence

Doesnt help when he knows his friends and family studying vet/med have not been affected and have continued to enjoy their courses

Please let our young adults have a normal life even if it means he doesnt come home for a while (thats my plea anyway)

What time is the briefing - 5pm?
If schools are 8 March I would be surprised if it’s all children - that’s not to say I don’t agree though but another dibber made a good point about it being Easter a few weeks later so maybe they will.

Uk holidays from June. No news on foreign holidays as the government suggests this is subject to a number of variables outside of their control

I've booked a weekend break for my wedding anniversary in May, it's only 20 mins away on the train so could still go if things are open but if hotels aren't it's a bit of a faff coming home every day

Drip feeding the information as ever, so it’s not a surprise and all the usual journalists can ask the same meaningless questions that are not in the slightest bit challenging.
From what I’ve read, outdoor sports can start end March - so that’s younger, unvaccinated people mingling in groups, but a family who are all vaccinated cannot go out for a meal?
Hairdressers not open until May? They are all masked, Covid prepared and in my recent experience, all able to socially distance.
Holidays perhaps from July - get yours in quick folks, that’s 2 months before we can expect the first seasonal flu cases to be reported and any excuse to shut us all down again will be taken I expect.

This is not a route out, it’s a ‘treat them mean to keep them afraid’ plan as far as I’m concerned and the futures of millions is bleak
I will be accused of being a doom monger but reading between the lines of this leak, I cannot see anything else

Can I ask where you saw hairdressers in May? I’m a driving instructor and we don’t get any info. We’ve tended to be grouped in with hairdressers! Was hoping it sounded like April for me

I do hope you get back to work in April - on a selfish note my son has rebooked his test for May , it would be nice if he could have a few lessons before it. I was hoping everything would be up and running by April.

The Telegraph have done a prediction based on the information they have so far. It doesn’t stray much from what is being reported everywhere else - BBC, Sky, Sun etc
