I wonder how the majority of parents feel? I don't know anyone with young kids to ask on that. I doubt if my own parents would have been happy about sending me back.
My daughter's back at uni today, though it's online lectures. She got told her placement too - infectious diseases ward - don't know whether to laugh or cry!
It might actaully be the safest place to be as they will have had plenty of practice at protecting everybodyMy daughter's back at uni today, though it's online lectures. She got told her placement too - infectious diseases ward - don't know whether to laugh or cry!
Agree with Gary - The NHS people who may be exposed to the virus have highest protection. Provided the students themselves take care and use it properly.My daughter's back at uni today, though it's online lectures.

We are her support bubble, as a single parent. Her two boys will stay with us, the days she's working. We're (touch wood) reasonably fit and healthy, with no underlying issues, so should be fine. No alternative, I'm afraid - she'll be off to work at around 6.30 am and not back until after 6, so 4 days a week, we need to have them overnight, and take to school, nursery etc. I'm sure, as you say, she's probably landed one of the safest areas to have her placement.Agree with Gary - The NHS people who may be exposed to the virus have highest protection.

One reason she may be on infectious diseases is that NHS staff who have been doing that work all summer and did not have children of school age are now at last going on holiday. And may be exhausted. My NHS surgeon daughter is about to go away for 2 weeks. But to reassure you Huggy, she has been working non stop since March and none of her colleagues has caught it.
On the other hand she hasnt been near OH and me. Not even to the gate.
Will your daughter need to keep away from you?
Both my Oxbridge uni student grand daughters who have looked after us will now be going back to their unis. They have both already been allocated rooms.
If you are grandparents having small children come back as you say, that doesnt sound too good. Depends on your age I suppose.We are her support bubble, as a single parent.
