You know, I'm ok about my daughter's going back to school. I try my best to make good decisions – weighing up the risk against the damage to their wellbeing if they continue to stay at home.

I'm currently quarantining after returning from Portugal. 'What, get on a plane! Are you mad!'. 'How irresponsible! Think of other people' etc etc. However, the *actual* reality in Portugal was *way* better than the UK: everyone wore masks inside, key their distance, washed hands

But schools... yes, there will be an uptick in cases. Yes, there will be kids who will get sick. But this is now a case of moving towards living with this disease and the risks associated with it. And trying to make the best judgement I can.

But this isn't polio. Or measles. Or scarlet fever. This is not a disease of children. My concern is them being a carrier to older adults, and, in that sense, my concern is with the teachers, my wife, my elderly relatives.

This thread was prompted by my continued watching of Dr John Campbell. Measured, clearly explained, evidence-based commentary. People at both ends of the spectrum with their relationship with this pandemic would benefit from watching. https://www.youtube.com/c/Campbellteaching/videos
