Any school staff feel like they are being made much more vulnerable to contracting this by keeping schools open ?

Just a thought. As we know schools are breeding grounds.
What about all the staff who are more exposed by being at work ?
And them taking this home to their vulnerable family members ?
Could schools be forced to close anyway if multiple staff members contract it anyway ?

With written evidence. And doctors just parrot the PHE stuff.

Maybe not as time goes on?

I think it's time to accept that we need a new normal and our schools are a really important part of that. While I dont think that schools should close completely, I think running a "reduced" school would help protect teachers, children and society as a whole.

DioneTheDiabolist I agree allowing the more vulnerable teachers to stay at home.
Maybe just having the key year groups in school who are facing exams would help.

I really don't think it has been thought through - my IT room has hundreds in every week but we can not source cleaning materials, on duty today at break social distancing was definitely not happening.

I did actually scream at the TV tonight watching the press conference when it was stated that younger people have mild symptoms that "they are taking this home"
