We should do whatever is necessary to minimise the number of deaths.

You’re suggesting that we’re being over cautious and to back it up you’ve just said that hardly any children have died while ignoring transmission or infection amongst the staff.
Actually come to think of it your denial of us topping the death table basically nullifies what you’ve got to say here
You find the R number going up laughable? WtfI find it laughab
The way forward is not reopening schools when the infection data is so unreliable and the number of people infected so high.
Go on tell us the solution? You're wasted on here you should be on SAGE.So until a vaccine then? That’s gross austerity isn’t it? So will that not create deaths through other means? Didn’t someone claim 200,000 deaths through austerity? So this will be a lot more severe if no one works or is educated for years? How many? A million?

I mixed up two draft posts. I find it laughable that the UK is estimating that the R rate is less than 1.

I’m trying to have a sensible discussion. I assume then Coronavirus deaths will vanish at a point in time? When in your scientific view will this be? And when can a society have renewed freedom and no additional deaths with no cure?

First time for everything I guess...I’m trying to have a sensible discussion.
Then we close schools until a vaccine and ban all contact sports?
That’s the point of making. Everyone on here is mindlessly ranting and not offering any thoughts on a way forward
Well that hysterical list is based on the premise of austerity being strictly necessary
This is what I don't really get. We were later closing and, tbh, I'm still sympathetic to that. Having bought into the same kind of pattern as other countries however, why rush to catch them up in the same stages? We actually, potentially, have an advantage over other countries in watching and learning.There may come a point where we have to concede we have to live with this and all we can do is try to adapt to minimize the damage but we're a while away from that yet.
As NW said were a few weeks behind some countries. Let's wait and see how they get on.

Apart from when it comes to apps and other things!Because the new strategy is to copy everyone else

No - you could look at some kind of antibody testing to see if it is already prevalent in the school age population. That would give you more information that is currently available and then be able to make a more informed decision on things.Then we close schools until a vaccine and ban all contact sports?
Point scoring lefty.All of this is irrelevant anyway as NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

I wonder where Astute is hiding....Point scoring lefty.
And on that note...

That’s just one thing you could try and do before you contemplate sending kids back to school.
FWIW, Higher Education is intending to re-open for the next academic year, as things stand.what about higher education? I assume that’s closed until we find a cure as that’s involving spreaders with no real risk to themselves of infecting other communities?
Can I read it? Yes I can.I wonder where Astute is hiding....

YesFWIW, Higher Education is intending to re-open for the next academic year, as things stand.
There's a very real concern, incidentally, that regardless of reopening or not, the loss of overseas students tuition fees could cause a crisis in the sector.
And if you can test every child and only 10% have it then what? Refuse entry to 90% - what about higher education? I assume that’s closed until we find a cure as that’s involving spreaders with no real risk to themselves of infecting other communities?
Has any country got an antibody test?
We haven’t thus far, can’t see that changing with these donkeys in charge.We have an opportunity, as we're behind just about everybody else in what's going on, to see what happens with them, and learn from it.
I'd like to think we'd take it!
He should have stuck 9 peanuts up, they’d have come out a Treat. #ageappropriatejoke..
