"Why the constant announcing of cases tested tho, if 1 in 2 have cancer then this risk is greater yet we don't get daily updates for this never mind daily cancer deaths. 99% of people recover from this deadly virus, unlike cancer, lung diseases etc etc" You can't catch cancer from touching a surface that someone with cancer has touched, or by breathing in droplets of their breath. | |||

"I thought we were trying to prevent the virus spreading. Who spreads it is irrelevant. You can throw track, trace and isolate out the window if kids go back to school. " 1 million kids have already been going to school and in that time apparently there might have been as many as two cases where a student might have infected another student.

Maybe only 10 due to the measures taken?!". So what ? Keep all children away from school till when exactly ? Those of you who appear to be so sure about this must clearly have an answer. | |||

"It has to happen the key is to make it as safe as possible for all involved, that means the teachers as well as the pupils. The potential viral load in some of the classrooms could be huge so steps have to be taken to protect staff, I'll be interested to see what measures the government is willing to fund in order to do this. Then of course people have to be sensible about who they allow their children to have contact with outside of school. Want to visit granny and granddad? Not sure that's going to be a good idea to be honest." Good points but to expand on a couple... "people have to be sensible" absolutely agree... I don't share your confidence that they all will. Just depends how big that minority are... The kids may very well be safe.... They aren't taught by kids though. "what the government are prepared to fund".... I think many people are under the illusion that the money is the govts money. It isn't. It's our money. And we have to fund it. From our taxes | |||

"maybe some would rather stay in bed until they starved to death. " They won't starve to death though. They will stay safe inside and let other people take the risk for them. The people delivering their food order. Picking it off the shelves. Processing and packaging it in factory. Working in the fields. Supplying the lorries with fuel. Etc etc. | |||

Theres also evidence that vaccines effects are passed along through mitochondrial DNA from the mother alongside the mothers immune system to their offspring given increased resistance to the illnesses the vaccines target. | |||

Yeah we would need to control our own children instead of making our inability to parent someone else's problem. There are many situations where home schooling is the only option and people do it. Let's be honest. This has nothing to do with education. It has to do with people not wanting their kids under their feet any longer and needing somewhere to put their children now they are going back to work. | |||

Some of us are genuinely concerned about the long term affects to our children's education, we dont want them out of the way, we want them to have the best chance in life they can have, starting with a good education. They do more in school than just read books an stuff you know, there is the social side to it too which helps them to interact in this big wide world which is something they do not achieve from home school, i am sure its been proven before that children that attend nursery when they are younger do far better in school later on and in social interaction with there peers than those children who do not attend. | |||

You do not stimulate the economy by reducing the ability to spend of those people who actually spend money. | |||

"We have a 60 child “bubble” x 2 so 120 chances of them bringing it home. Teachers moving between classrooms. Schools have instructions to do extra deep cleaning but no extra funds to put this in place. Schools not allowed to run “shifts”. It’s nonsense. Of course they have to back but it should at least be run in shifts - one week or half a week about, with home learning the other half of the time. This will reduce the risk significantly and resume schooling. The survey which says few children contract the virus is misleading - it was taken whilst schools were operating at half capacity." That's the trouble with statistics isn't it? We can twist them anyway we want. I tend to agree that 10 kids in a classroom cf 34 kids in a classroom could tell a different story. As yet we don't understand any longer term damage either so not entirely convinced it's as safe as some are telling for under 19s. | |||

"Agree kids should go back to school. ASAP But one thing to think about. I work in ICU, but not an expert. Children are renowned for being the biggest “super spreaders” of infections etc. Why not this virus? What’s different? They will behave the same way as before and spread it. Yes only 10 have died. Why? They’ve been isolated. Following the logic about people at work not getting ill from Hancock last week, we will be fine. Only a few have got it at work. Why? The majority haven’t been at bloody work. You can’t spread if you doggy see people. More people will die. But we need to live. To generate taxes so the government can waste it. " Good point | |||

Perhaps this will be the start of a more sensible and less apocalyptic approach to this." I’m all for the kids going back to school despite the risks involved. Their education is of vital importance. However I don’t agree that this will be the “ start of a more sensible and less apocalyptic approach“. The measure we adopt to control the virus spread are sensible, and should continue that way until we get better treatment and / or a vaccine. It is possible that when the kids are back in school it might increase the infection rate. But that’s why there is a hint that some other sectors of the economy may have to close temporarily to compensate for that. We can’t go back to the old normal at this point in time, and probably not any time soon. | |||

"As far as staff to staff transmission is concerned, this is managed in thousands of work places up and down the country so that work continues. No different at school." Staff to staff transmission is managed because thousands of people are still working *From Home*. And that’s the reason some work places have not yet allowed their staff back into the office. The reason being - to reduce the risk of staff to staff transmission. | |||

"I heard a bloke on the vine radio show ranting off that only 2 children had died and many kids were suffering from not being at school,including his 4 children. I thought if 1 of them 2 kids he had mentioned was one of his...just how he would have felt. Even so his figures will have been out, there is also the fact that many shielded people will get the job of picking the kids up from school. Aye it's not all black and white..." Policy on this is not decided by the father of a child who died from covid, in the same way that the father of a road traffic accident victim doesn't get to ban cars. If shielding people are collecting the kids from school then they aren't shielding, that's their choice to make. | |||

"I have a child that is due to go back next Wednesday, I'm aware of the risks but I think it's what's best for the children, they need school, not only for education but for social skills and for their mental health. Vulnerable family members will just have to avoid them." Agreed. And teachers should get proper face ppe, and wash hands regularly with virus strength hand sanitiser in between. | |||

And I didn’t say the teachers should work from home, in fact I said the kids should go back to school - implying that the teachers should go back as well otherwise how would the kids be taught ? Just that you mentioned about staff to staff transmission in other sectors, hence why I said that issue is being managed by offices asking people to work from home. | |||

"Today's school children are already condemned to paying off the enormous national debt accrued recently, we have a duty to ensure that they are properly educated at the very least. We older people, with pre established qualifications and jobs need to keep this in mind. It's shit for us, but it's even shitter for those who might miss out on the education and qualifications we have all received the benefit of. No generation in history has had their education disrupted quite to this level. Even in WW2, schools stayed open, universities continued to teach and people acquired qualifications through the armed forces etc. " | |||

So you think that “most of the workforce” are not working at home? I somehow doubt that from what I have read. And you think that the school as a workplace is the same as any other? Now that is definitely not the case is it? Completely different from any other actually. So a different set of risks. Think before you post maybe? | |||

This will be a school where many or all of the pupils require personal care assistance, physical assistance to move around and access their education and so there will be much closer contact between teachers and pupils and teachers and other staff. I'm a teacher and can't remember the last time I physically touched a young person. I think it was to give first aid a couple of years ago. Teachers in special schools are likely to physically come into contact with pupils every day. | |||

"Agree kids should go back to school. ASAP But one thing to think about. I work in ICU, but not an expert. Children are renowned for being the biggest “super spreaders” of infections etc. Why not this virus? What’s different? They will behave the same way as before and spread it. Yes only 10 have died. Why? They’ve been isolated. Following the logic about people at work not getting ill from Hancock last week, we will be fine. Only a few have got it at work. Why? The majority haven’t been at bloody work. You can’t spread if you doggy see people. More people will die. But we need to live. To generate taxes so the government can waste it. " Younger children have far fewer ACE2 receptors which this virus need to latch onto in order to infect cells. We do need to generate taxes for government to waste... it all goes on unnecessary things such as the provision of healthcare services
We have to manage risks but risks can not be eliminated. | |||

" Some of us are genuinely concerned about the long term affects to our children's education, we dont want them out of the way, we want them to have the best chance in life they can have, starting with a good education. They do more in school than just read books an stuff you know, there is the social side to it too which helps them to interact in this big wide world which is something they do not achieve from home school, i am sure its been proven before that children that attend nursery when they are younger do far better in school later on and in social interaction with there peers than those children who do not attend." Absolutely agree. Even more so at primary school. School is about so much more than the traditional subject related learning. What children have sadly missed out on is vital personal and social skills and experience - independence, routine, regulating emotions, peer to peer influencing and inspiration. There isn't an easy solution to this so it's just about weighing up the pros and cons and aggreeing on the most important needs. | |||

Yes it's a challenge, but we may have to find creative ways to make it effective and it may require parents to be more involved than previously.

"When you think of the difference in basic hygiene from 6 months ago, we should be proud of ourselves. Of course the idiots will make us angry and we'll pontificate all the rights and wrongs. But maybe, just maybe this marked increase in basic hygiene may slow the transmission of seasonal virus. Once they get back to school, the kids will show us all how it's done, they will revel in the responsibility of helping others.

"At last people wakening up as to whats going on, yes the media dont go on about Cancer death rates or car crash death rates or any other death rate sither than Covid, because that programming of all of a sudden we have to isolate to stop cancers spreading, or car crashes happening or whatever, because people would be saying huh why now? So to get the fearmongering going to slowly change the way we live, you kno,,, the NEW Normal, lets get a new virus or the hoax of a virus going, get it going worldwide, yes thats it that will get the minions to conform, but now they realise its out of control, oh the economy is suffering, ok back to work, oops nope COVID is spreading stop work, no we cant do that, ok keep the economy going get them to wear masks, nope we said that didnt work at the beginning, hmm keep it going they will conform. Then it was HEAT kills Covid, now they say Heat will now spread it, NOw we should get a say in whether we wish to wear a mask or not, they say protect the NHS, hmmm hang on im paying into that system ill use it when i se fit that is what its there for, hospitals inundated???? nah they have time to do Tik Tok videos matey they have time on their hands. Now the Police force, you dont see them running away from people do you, god no they have fines to dish out, Jesus we cant have the Judicial system suffering and loosing money hand over fist can we, when did you hear of any police officers catching covid???? Then im questioned why im not wearing a mask, im exempt thats why, why are you exempt? they ask, its not for me to divulge my reasons and the law states i dont have to justify why im exempt, but no you want to overrule that law, just like the police do stopping motorists from travelling when COVID 19 legislation doesnt allow them to stop a motor vehicle to question the reason for the journey, but the courts must have their cash and so these morons in uniform make their own laws to do that.

" The Law actually does allow the Police to stop ANY vehicle without having a stated reason. They can also stop and ask you reasonable questions about why you are in the area where you are going etc etc. Of course you can not stop your car and be arrested for doing so.

", just like the police do stopping motorists from travelling when COVID 19 legislation doesnt allow them to stop a motor vehicle to question the reason for the journey, but the courts must have their cash and so these morons in uniform make their own laws to do that. The Law actually does allow the Police to stop ANY vehicle without having a stated reason. They can also stop and ask you reasonable questions about why you are in the area where you are going etc etc. Of course you can not stop your car and be arrested for doing so. You can refuse to answer questions and they can arrest you to a police station to have you answer them. " The police cannot arrest you for failing to answer questions about where you're going lol. They can arrest you if you're driving, or suspected to have committed an arrestable offence if you refuse to give your name and address. You're perfectly within your rights to refuse to answer any other questions. You only have to give your name for those specific reasons. Walking down the street and being stopped randomly you are under no obligation to reveal your name and address or any other information. If you're not going to answer questions in the street, why are you going to answer them at the station (usually with a solicitor telling you to answer no comment) They will not arrest you simply for not answering questions as that would be an unlawful arrest. | |||

"That is why I think sweden have done the right thing by having the schools open all the time, it will show further down the line that their model have been what everyone countrt should have done "**"..that their model (Sweden) have been what everyone countrt should have done.."** ------------- Quite the opposite. Even their top epidemiologist regrets the decision Sweden took. Due to not locking down they have the highest death rate in Scandinavia compared to their neighbours who locked down. It didn't help their economy either. Their Finance Minister Magdalena Andersson recently warned that Sweden is facing its worst economic crisis since World War II. They have also seen a rise in unemployment since March due to Covid. Their unemployment rate remains the highest in Scandinavia and the Nordics. By not locking down, both their death rate and unemployment rates are now higher than the other Nordic / Scandinavian countries who chose to lockdown. Sweden's model was *not* the one to follow. | |||

While businesses remained open compared to other parts of Europe, plenty of Swedes still chose to stay away from shops, restaurants and gyms. As a result of people staying away from such businesses due to fear of catching the virus, it cause some of those business and their economy much damage. Businesses in Sweden have had to close or go under as a result of that. This partly explains why they have seen a surge in unemployment since March this year. Currently they have a higher unemployment rate then their neighbours who locked down. Having "business as usual" does not guarantee that those business would be patronise; certianly not in the middle of a virus pandemic. | |||

We have a well established strategy for mitigating the risk of drowning that encompasses training, adice and prevention. We know how to do this, and how to keep the number of deaths down. I swear, some people on here appear blissfully unaware of what goes on around them until they feel the need to hav an opinion. | |||

"I thought we were trying to prevent the virus spreading. Who spreads it is irrelevant. You can throw track, trace and isolate out the window if kids go back to school. Yeah we would need to control our own children instead of making our inability to parent someone else's problem. There are many situations where home schooling is the only option and people do it. Let's be honest. This has nothing to do with education. It has to do with people not wanting their kids under their feet any longer and needing somewhere to put their children now they are going back to work." I do hope that some of this was ironic. I'm a lone parent and have ensured that my daughter did everything school sent and more besides. I'm wanting her to go back to school for her benefits (education, peer group interaction, her own mental health). Shes struggled with this (I'm sure she isnt the only child) and I'd much rather keep her with me to "protect" her as much as possible but, simply - she NEEDS to be back. Bet I get the packed lunch I'll be sending every day wrong though! | |||
