All this talk of them not being able to transmit or unlikely to do so is based on no proven scientific basis at all. Funnily it fits a model that pushes the economy first so parents can go back to school. I have to wonder if that is why this theory is do actively promoted by some. Nobody argues that fatalities amongst young children are anything but rare but their role as spreaders is completely unknown. If you're vunerable you need to be just as vigorous in your shielding procedures as around adults. As to those in care homes they were effectively abandoned to their fate at the start of the pandemic with the government telling the public that care homes were safe environments ( rather like they are saying about schools) they were not supplied with the ppe they needed ( rather like schools magically are not an environment where face masks are necessary but shops are) . Then there is the unforgiveable way that the government encouraged patients to he discharged back to care homes from hospitals so transmitting the virus to the most vunerable population of all. It's clear to see what the outcome of this policy was. So if I'm asked to simply trust the government on what it says and believe their science that suits their agenda then forgive me if I decline. If you're vunerable you need to look after yourself because to you at least your life is more important than the economy. [/QUOTE]
