[QUOTE="Max68, post: 2285882, member: 521172"] Most of what the virus is capable of is speculative at best at the moment with very few sure fire answers. It may be true that children don't spread the virus like they tend to do with flu. On the other hand it may be argued that because they tend on the whole not to be seriously ill with the virus, "could" mean that they are more dangerous in spreading it, as after all asymptomatic spread is the reason why we are all in this position in the first place! As for Mr Pot's question above of course it's a real difficult balancing act. I work in Autism and we had a teacher who became ill with Covid. Many of the students were extremely distressed about this and some didn't return to school. Thankfully the teacher has recovered somewhat, although they are still having some unpleasant after effects weeks later. That original impact on the children was bad enough, if a staff member or student were to die from it it would have a massive impact mentally on the children and staff. There will also sadly quite possibly at some point be the blame game. Student passes on to staff member who dies or staff member passes onto student who dies. Mental health for all works both ways. Sure the lockdown isn't healthy for anyone's mental state but people you know dying isn't either! [/QUOTE]
