It's not just about the kids, it's also about the staff. Teachers, assistants, office staff, cleaners, dinner ladies, caretaker - all the people it takes to run a school will be at OR feel at risk. Some of them won't be the youngest and fittest but they will be required to go back to work and spend 6 hours in the same room as a 15(?) kids from 15(?) other households, yet they are not yet allowed to spend time in a room with their own families if they are from a different household. How does one teacher on their own keep 15 primary kids social distanced for the whole day? How do they keep them separated at break and meal times?

I can see why no-one is happy with this situation. Right from the beginning we were told that the little darlings were all super spreaders and that's why we had to close the schools, and grandparents were kept away. Now they say children don't transmit the virus, or they are low risk of community transmission so the schools can be opened and the parents can get back to work. However they are not brave enough yet to say it is safe for the kids to mix with their own grandparents so something isn't quite right with this story. Why is it safe enough for strangers to mix with the kids but not their own families from different households?
