Which is very surprising as they’re barely a couple of weeks out their lockdown, but schools were open during it, I wonder if we will start seeing online learning for high schools here. Mmmm, does seem a strange one, maybe some places are now open that were closed where this age group hang out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will continue to argue about tiers for a while yet but it will diminish as time goes on. The nearer we get to spring, the more people will begin to look forward to a future of the virus no longer dominating their every move and activity. Those howling on about restrictions will become less and less relevant as every week passes. Because the beginning of the recovery + less virus will be closer.

The setting of tiers and restrictions involves a constant fight against the public and public opinion (not all of them, of course, but many of them). They were forced into giving the Tier 4's a 3-week limit because they didn't think the public would accept otherwise, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think of the reaction if they hadn't allowed limited mixing though. @jonesy is correct - human nature means that a large number of people would have done so anyway. The Government had to find some sort of middle ground where they said "Ok, ok, you can do it, but here's a way of making it safer". They really are caught between a rock and a hard place with some of the decisions that they have to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
