[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2293032, member: 365308"] [B]Children[/B] are at extremely low [B]risk[/B] of becoming ill from the virus. Adults - and particularly older adults - are far more likely to be seriously ill and die from complications. The largest study done so far, involving more than 55,000 hospital patients, found that only 0.8% were under the age of 19.8 hours ago [URL='https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-52003804#:~:text=Children%20are%20at%20extremely%20low,under%20the%20age%20of%2019.'][/URL] [SIZE=4][B] [URL]https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-52003804#:~:text=Children%20are%20at%20extremely%20low,under%20the%20age%20of%2019[/URL].[/B][/SIZE] This report goes on to point to the remarkably lower rates of transmission from kids to adults from the studies done to date. So we should not imagine that this spreads in the same way that cols and flu do amongst the young. Schools are not like care homes in terms of the actual risks of serious illness and death in the setting and to the wider community. In the meantime please think about the risk to our next generation (the ones that have to pay for the lockdown and your ongoing support if you opt out of going back to work) if they cannot return to school in September or have to be taught in masks or have an inferior version of education (blended learning). The lockdown was supposed to protect the vulnerable but it seems to me we failed at this because we neglected care homes for the sake of saving the NHS. Lets not throw children under the bus too!
