Plonker here is you. The head of the Family Court has made it clear that CV was not a reason to unilaterally stop custody arrangements.
The advice was actually different at first.Is the head of the family court a pandemic expert? We were told to stay at home and not to mix with people from other households, to shut our businesses down and to stay 2 metres apart.
I maintain we did what was best with the information we had at the time, the stories coming out of Italy were of people our age dying, kids being super spreaders, kids visiting their grandparents and basically killing them, even kids dying.
You’d put your Kids health at risk whilst you didn’t know what was going on just so you could see them? Some father you are.
5pm briefing will be interesting tomorrow.
No.10: "Raab, you're doing it"
Raab: "Got a bit of a cough, probably best to let someone else do it"
No. 10: "Sunak?"
Sunak: "Temperature's up a bit ... can I do it later in the week?"
No. 10: "Oh God, it'll have to be Patel then"
Patel: *COUGH*COUGH*COUGH"

I wonder at what point they'll start getting rid of these.....are they seriously going to keep this up every day for months (Potentially years?) on end?
Back to the thread title;- it doesn't look as if it's going to kill even 1% of us, much less wipe us out, but the government refusal to admit its errors and dump pointless restrictions is still killing the most vulnerable, and financially wiping out many self employed and business people, as well as the less well insulated employees.
Check out musk pulling Tesla HQ from the People’s Republic of California. Many businesses have been leaving; the continued lockdown extensions probably pushed him over the edge. Most car manufacturing is either in Michigan, Alabama, South Carolina, and a few other Southern states.

Frankly, this is the final straw. Tesla will now move its HQ and future programs to Texas/Nevada immediately. If we even retain Fremont manufacturing activity at all, it will be dependen on how Tesla is treated in the future. Tesla is the last carmaker left in CA.

You reckon that's it then,,,,no 2nd, possibly bigger, wave?FWIW I reckon 1st / 2nd week in September is what is being planned for.
This is a good read about the two ways pandemics historically have ended:
