[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2278147, member: 365308"] I am sorry that your skills weren't picked up by the educational authorities but not surprised because it has been a hard ask to organise teachers. My kids are those middle class ones with a chrome book and a supervising parent plus lovely grandparents who've offered to pay for any tutoring required. I got the concept of lockdown to save the NHS but this is evidently NOT needed now and hasn't been for a while (deaths peaked on 8th April in the UK and the Nightingales were empty exhibitions of hospitals that never got used just like that ship in New York). So we are left with the draconian measures which are causing immense harm economically, socially and to our health to protect us from a virus which it pretty bad if you are very elderly and frail i.e. the kind of person who dies from seasonal flu when the vaccine isn't working (e.g. Winter 2017/18) but without locking down. Why is this different? Yes we live in a social context but the questions I have are even if we could stop a virus like this spreading (and it seems like a King Kanut job to me) why are the lives of those who need to work, be cured of cancer or heart disease worth less than the 0.01% who have died of the virus? I am afraid that to me it is not as morally certain as you all seem to think. [/QUOTE]
