• The rules only make sense if the goal is to stop the spread at all costs, which we’ve pretty much given up on already.

  • Also, we'd decided to take both kids out a week early at the end of term. We wanted to be in the clear for our planned trip back to the other set of grandparents at the start of the holidays. While they're double vaxxed, they are much more vulnerable in general (70's heart condition and mid 80's). We've not seen them enough the last 18 months, and we're well into the "not sure how many more years we have with both of them" phase - so we're trying to safely spend as much time as possible with them now.

    Told school our reasoning, based on the increasing cases and high chance of being told to isolate in the last week of term for at least one of the girls, and got a snotty letter back that they couldn't authorise the absence! This was yesterday and today they've told 100 kids not to come to school!
