Oh it's not as bad as up north, but where i am in Sussex the last few weeks we have gone from having like 2 cases to over 100, this is in an area full of care homes as well, and it keeps rising.

She wouldn't need to. She could send her kid to school, as schools have never been shut for key worker/vulnerable children.

I dont know mate, I imagine the scallies of the South are just as selfish as those in the North and refuse to wear masks, social distance etc.
Its just natural - if Liverpool has masses of people infected and recovered it's unlikely they'll be posting large infection rates again in just 3-6 months time.
Obviously once antibodies in a years+ time disappear the question will be if those previously infected were to catch it again will they naturally still have some resistance to the virus from the first infection and prevent it from making them seriously ill the 2nd time?
If thats the case thats our only way out of it in which in years to come Covid will have passed through everyone and become no different to the cold/flu.
If it still can be potent regardless of previous exposure however then thats when we need to worry long term imo.

If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
For how long? A vaccine could be months/years away we don't know it may never arrive... genuine question how long would you like to see schools closed for? Until a vaccine is found? Until an effective treatment is found? Are you happy to ruin the education of a generation of young people home schooling is no substitute for being in school it's not even close, and don't underestimate the importance of children being around others their own age. Health care, food suppliers and education must remain open.
Yes I'm aware of that but he's advocating shutting them down, plus how do single parents who are not key workers home school their kids,

Lots of people down here wear masks; in fact its unusual to go onto a tube train or into a shop and see someone not wearing one.

That is a minority of cases and perhaps something could be worked out there, maybe still open up school for those cases?
The issue now, as a teacher, that everyone seem to be burying their heads in the sand over... is that schools and universities are driving this second wave. My school has had about 9 or 10 positive cases so far and remember, kids are more likely to be asymptomatic (not to mention the difficulty in getting a test that many are having) so the true number is probably a lot higher. Vulnerable members of staff still have to come in. Children with vulnerable family members are still coming in.
Personally I would prefer a rota system as opposed to the all or nothing approaches being talked about, but regardless, education just does not seem sustainable at the moment.
That was a bit of sarcasm on my part, because certain posters are calling for just that. I put another reply a couple of posts later to say no they shouldn’t. Btw when I told her she was banned from Sunday lunch I was asked to plate one up and she’d come and collect it

But wasn’t the North hammered just as bad, if not worse in some areas, during the first wave? It hit London before anywhere else but the worst hit places in the North were only a matter of weeks behind. I don’t think enough people got it the first time round to see any effect of any kind of mass immunity in the south. It’s more likely due to other factors.
People are wearing masks up here. We’re no worse or better than the rest of the country despite what people on here try to say.
There’s countless reasons as to why it’s spread and nobody can really put their finger on the actual reason. It’s a pandemic, they’re unpredictable by nature.
Also, don’t antibodies only last a matter of months at the most?

Same here
Not my experience unfortunately...
Covid antibodies are shown to last for at least three months, and could last much longer.
I struggle to see any other logical explanation for the lack of cases in London currently vs Manchester/Liverpool/Leeds. Other than some level of antibody resistance in the population.
