DD1 finally let me in tonight, and through floods of tears, told me she's really scared about passing the virus onto her Grandparents when she goes back to school in Sep. We had a good chat and I found one infographic online that rated going to school as med risk whereas there were loads of high risk things, but it wasn't particularly teen friendly. I know I've seen some better ones online, but can't find them now. If anyone has any, please let me know! Or any other reassuring statistics that might help ease her anxiety. Thanks!

Currently the prevalence is approx 1 in 3900, a couple of weeks ago it it was 1 in 3000 so hopefully by September that will have gone down even further. And even then it won’t be one in any 4000 because there will be clusters
