[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2286282, member: 451727"] Hi Mr Pot, I don't think it's that people want to keep kids off until there is a vaccine, or to stay off work until there is. I think that it's because we have been told oh it is perfectly safe, you don't need a mask, oh...wait, you do, you simply have to stay 2m apart..oh...hang on...you don't, a metre is fine, you can catch it from human contact but hold on, not children, there is no risk getting on a bus without a mask, but wear one anyway, and on and on and on. Specifically in relation to schools (my daughter is a Teacher), they are told to social distance with desks and hand washing etc but 'don't wear a mask'. Either there is a risk or there isn't so which is it? If there is (and I assume there is because of the social distancing in schools) then why no mask? Also nobody mentions the logistics of getting kids to schools, other parents, more traffic, more people on public transport. I say do it properly, go back to school BUT ensure class sizes are smaller, proper PPE equipment, risk assess those adults at higher risk and act accordingly, yes it's hard but the will for it simply is not there at the moment so all we get is 'everything is fine, off you all go and fingers crossed'.
