Quote: Sadfish "I am not sure what world you live in but there are many viruses that we get and schools have been managing them forever, novoviruses influenza, measles in particular.
All are deadly all happen.
In some places in the world guns kill more kids that viruses in schools, then there is maleria and malnutrition.
My son was already a year behind where he needs to be and now even further back.
We need to get the kids back into school, my sons school has been open all the time anyway, just kore kids in sept. There are lots of risks covid is a current one, it affects people in NHS,Carehome, Shop workers, Factory Workers, Teachers Services.
The key is to manage it to the best of our ability.
All our kids are more important than any of us. What will be will be'"
Sounds like you are just going down the fittest will survive route or let’s go for herd immunity Approach.
How much is based on your son and how much on the science.
Whilst there is some suggestion the virus is weakening until we know then there is nothing wrong with being cautious.
The way the government has worked is to do no contingency planning until after the event by which time the damage is done.
If we were to go back to the April scenario of infections and deaths would you be wanting a full lockdown.
In my view opening too quickly and then closing down again is worse than a gradual and safe and planned opening up of society.
The suggestion I put forward previously allows for this . It can always be adapted for children with special needs or those who are more in need of services.
Mine and most children would not be inconvenienced with 3 days at school and two days distant learning .
