This judgement is based on the likelihood that 1-2 in a 100 kids get infected. There is no statistical difference in mortality rates as number of fatalities in any scenario is predicted to be extremely low and lower than the chance of a child being killed by a car. 1/3 https://twitter.com/doubledownnews/status/1263787260341878786
Unfortunately population data on transmission from children to adults is lacking as it is not the children that are a concern it is their parents and teachers. I base this on risk & disease severity and not a dislike of children. I love my kids v much but I am not worried 2/3
about them going to school. In fact they have been doing so ever since lockdown. The report does emphasise; which I would agree with; that schools reopening should be a local decision and not by the UK govt & based on number of infections locally & not a national R target!. 3/3
