It's pretty silly to plan to open schools when parents/grandparents could be put at risk by that action.
But then again, the world, and people who run it, is very silly right now. :?
Schools are breeding grounds & with kids being less effected by the virus overall it makes them the perfect horse for the cart. When this all kicked off they were slow to close the schools while at the same time promoting herd immunity.

If they still believe in that model then the fastest way to start wave 2 is to open the schools. Call me crazy but i genuinely believe that it was part of the plans all along.

I'm partially asthmatic, but my youngest is 12 years old - if they send him back to school they basically put me at risk immediately.

State seizure of the boarding schools for people like you to use? I bet you'd be glad of the break :D

I feel for parents when they clap the NHS. Who decided it was going to be 8pm just when you're trying to get the little sods off to bed after a 14hr stint with them.

It's not even clap for the NHS these days, its find anything you can in the kitchen and bang it as loud as you can for the NHS.

Anyone remember Brexit? ;) This crisis just highlights BJ's sheer stupidity in passing into law a Brexit deadline, come what may.

"They" do not send your kids back to school, you do. The problem with society is when we think in terms of "they" that means we are happy not to be in control of our own choices.

Just look at all the protests going on around the world, protesting for "them" to lift the lockdown restrictions... who are "they" & why am I being told by "them" - it's a very difficult situation to be in but ultimately you have to make the decision that best fits your situation & health... fuck "them" & their decision.

Absaloutly! It's strange how most people are so undisciplined in their personal life unless the structure is given to them by a boss or a politician.

Not quite true, "they" send people fines for non attendance in more normal times.

Only 1 in 10 children considered to be at risk and who are usually monitored by schools have been checked by social services since the lockdown. School is vital for many kids even thought it might be seen as optional for all the 'nice' families planting flowers and playing the violin.

They send people fines for not sending their kids to school but ultimately that comes down to people factoring that in to their decision process, which is obviously a matter of how much you value your health. "They" open or close, we choose to agree or disagree with that decision. We are all in control of our own decisions, regardless of the cost.

Through my Corona boredom I've just thought about the following, if from the day you were born you visited 1 city in the world each day, at what age would you finish your worldwide city visit?

I get 12.2 years of age. Anyone else bored?

I'm at the point where I'm microwaving the Deep Dish pizza stockpile, setting the microwave to 3 mins, running to the toilet, remembering to close the lid, doing a 20 second sing along to try & beat the 3 min pizza time.... I've got a new high score of 13 seconds.
