Maybe on reflection people are mistaking the governments line as the minimum required action or the minimum action they want to legislate on.
There is a huge difference in what people can do particularly for those who live paycheck to paycheck.

As a family we have now decided to stay ahead of government imposed restrictions and get as close to self isolation as we can. At the end of the day 2 or 3 extra days of isolation will prove to be very little and hopefully will unload some of the stress on the teaching community.

Re: Crusaders please give us the trophy
Can we somehow redefine what the half way stage is rather than using a simple time based scale.
For instance we could conclude that 1/2 the teams no longer had a chance of winning so the season is in fact beyond half way.
