I and I suppose many others must think that this new lockdown ruling is absolutely pathetic.

How on earth can Boris still let universities and schools remain open in this second lockdown? We all knew it would happen again, along with possibly a third and fourth.

If a poll was done on these children and students I am sure they would rather be doing home schooling if able, same as students doing their computer work at home rather than being ill with Covid or passing it to their loved ones.
