[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2281507, member: 480869"] My latest concern is the school proposals. If the rest of society is required to distance in some way how can they consider packing the kids in like sardines in the usual manner? For secondary schools a year group bubble can be 300 or more pupils. So 300 teens, with often an invincible attitude to life, mix at close quarters for 7 hours a day and then go home. To vulnerable parents and grandparents. What are those family members then? Collateral damage? And it will be a criminal offence to not send the teens to school. With exams imminent it’s incredibly difficult to home educate the higher year groups. If the adult population cannot mix unchecked in groups of 300 in order to prevent the spread then how can teens be allowed to? Will they need to isolate from family for the school year? How damaging would that be for them? Do vulnerable family members need to isolate from the more robust ones? Again how much damage will that cause? I am not against schools reopening, they need socialisation and education, just the reckless manner in which it is being proposed with effectively no mitigation/barriers/distancing whatsoever. Week on week off half sized classes to allow distancing? Desk barriers? Masks? Something? Anything? Primary schools with bubbles of 30 are more manageable but still not ideal. [/QUOTE]
