Risk is something we face everywhere every day, we have to live with it.
Regarding schools, the biggest risk to a child (teachers too) is traveling to school, far more get injured on the journey to school, sending children to school we accept that risk. There are over 1000 children injured going to school every month so risk of a child catching Covid 19 and becoming seriously ill is much lower than that.
So let’s be realistic unless there is a serious outbreak at a school education should be done as normal.
I'm not sure how you work that out Davidhs.
There are 8,820,000 school pupils in England alone. If there is no social distancing in schools (which there can't be in many schools) and no precautions such as masks, just one infected child is going to result in dozens of further infections, not only amongst pupils and staff, but families as well.
In Chicago, two infected children in one school resulted in 150 further infections. Unless there's some mitigation, we're going to be back into infections rising exponentially.
Injuries to children don't result in injuries to other children and their families. That's the big difference.
