Good question, my school's letter doesn't specify.Getting all mumsnet for a second. What is (are?) the PPE the teachers will be wearing? Bit of a change from the norm for a 4 year old to deal with.
Yeah it's can they catch and pass on the virus and if so how muchBut isn't the main issue surrounding how much children transmit the virus?
There's a lot of conflicting information and the Royal college of paediatricians are saying there's no conclusive evidence either way so at the moment it's basically a coin toss.
I suspect it'll be the same as other viruses, but if they and their family is non-vulnerable, it shouldn't be a problem.But isn't the main issue surrounding how much children transmit the virus?

So in a population of almost 67M just over 50K have complained. It’s hardly damming evidence that he’s been acting like a tool. If anything it’s proof that the 50K are the tools.It clearly isn’t and you know it, stop being deluded..... he’s had over 50k complaints because of acting like an utter tool
It’s not the same as other virus’ though. The one thing we do know is that the transmission rate is higher.I suspect it'll be the same as other viruses, but if they and their family is non-vulnerable, it shouldn't be a problem.

Then the one with vulnerable family members doesn't go back. The one with non vulnerable does.But what if their class mate has family members that are vulnerable?
I appreciate that across society we may shortly have to start trying to return to some sort of normality and try to manage the risks but I think we are in danger of doing it too early.
My kids' primary will be exercising the 2m rule and also confirmed the teachers will have PPE so I'm satisfied they'll be safe. Also looking at the stats only 8 people under 19 have died from CV, so that reassures me further.
This is the problem.But what if their class mate has family members that are vulnerable?

It isn't just about the safety of the children though, is it? 15 kids (if that happens) in a class room going home to 15 families, you can quite quickly see how infections multiply
I raised this point a few pages back.....The psychological damage to YR & Y1 kids especially could be huge.....being "educated" in an environment much akin to a Sci-fi dystopian horror movie.
Some of the proposals I've seen on the TV news include all the books & toys removed or taped off like a crime scene. The teachers & TAs in masks & gloves. Kids regimentally marched one by one for compulsory hand washing every hour. Kids learning, eating & playing in isolation & separated by perspex sheets.
Just fuck off with such nonsense. Thats no way to treat young kids.
Keep schools closed until Sept. which gives time for more rational, practical & workable solutions to be found & implemented.
Exactly, from June 1st there are 6 or 7 weeks left, it is nothing in the grand scheme of things. That last half term at school was a complete doss when we were at school anyway, school trips, sports day etc.
I wouldn't send mine in if family members were vulnerable. Mine can't wait to get back to school and as I understand it only 2% of CV deaths have been people under 49 years old, so I'm happy with the risk.But what if their class mate has family members that are vulnerable?

I'd like to see the correlation between these people and the people who post leave Boris alone memes on facebookGuarantee the Venn diagram of 'people complaining about Piers Morgan having a go at politicians' and 'people complaining that free speech is taken away' is a solid circle.
But as there is a good chance the are asymptomatic carriers they will infect people who infect other people.I wouldn't send mine in if family members were vulnerable. Mine can't wait to get back to school and as I understand it only 2% of CV deaths have been people under 49 years old, so I'm happy with the risk.
Then the one with vulnerable family members doesn't go back. The one with non vulnerable does.
That's not a snarky tone I'm typing in btw. Just a suggestion.

I tend to agree and I'm not gonna argue on this one, just think maybe it's not as dangerous as people are making out as long as the famous 'common sense' is applied. Like if you're a mother going through chemo as an example, probably don't send your kid to school.It's a fair enough comment.
I just think we should hold of for now until we know more.
As others have said, the last term is a doss for many pupils anyway.

I think the real question is does that bloke have to be in the office? Can he not work from home?I'm in the office right now. Bloke I am handing my shift over to at 6pm is type 2 diabetic. We have to be in the same office at some point.
My 4 year old goes to school and another kid coughs directly in his face because 4 and 5 year olds are dickheads. Brings it home. I don't want to catch it. I want to continue working.
There is no answer, but keep them at home if a family member is vulnerable isn't enough really.
Of course all this could still be the same in September, but the more information we can gather the better and June feels like it's rushing it. So for me the 'common sense' bit is telling me, he's not going in to school.

Theres only so much online abuse a man can take. Prefer to let G get pelted with the rotten fruit.Fair play he’s emerged from just liking every one of G’s posts
Why is there an arbitrary date rather than a threshold?

Certainly not defending the generally shambolic approach but how does our schools re-opening plan differ to Germany, Spain etc?Some have to be in, of course.
My issue is first with the word 'safe'. I'm not sure that's helpful as there's risk with anything and, ultimately, I'm comfortable witha certain level of risk coming with life. The ceiling could fall in on me while I'm wfh, after all! However, I'd be a lot more comfortable if I saw what was a coherent plan and, perhaps more importantly, a sustainable plan going forward. At the moment it feels like we're rushing for the sake of it, and we'll end up with a staccato in-out movement where things open, only to be closed down again.
Personally, I'd be announcing the plan before the date, whereas we seem to be doing it the other way round.
And as for schools, as I said before, the planning for re-opening for, what apears to be a rather short space of time before they break up again anyway, seems pointless and also takes away teachers' time from planning better online lessons... which might still need to happen anyway, if they end up not opening after all (which I can see being the case when it comes to it).
So all in all it seems a bit headless chicken, and that's when it seems unsafe.
