I'm not even sure lockdown works. Its just a tool to delay things.

It works to manage the critical stage where doing nothing does more damage than any lockdown would.

But you're right it's just a delay, it's not the cure. Unless you can take the even tougher decisions to lockdown the borders thereafter as per NZ. We will come out of any future lockdown and people will think it's safe to go back to doing exactly what they did before the virus and the government will assist as they don't want businesses such as easyjet folding. That will accelerate us towards another lockdown - however we hope a vaccine would not be too far away by the time that is required.
 
They are but they are definitely a driving force of infection rates. I don't care what the government say on the matter.

So to keep schools open then everyone must accept harsher restrictions in other parts of daily life. Or you switch to remote tutoring and you can then open the other side.
I think the answer lies between in person and remote learning. Classes check in with teacher at staggered/rotad times throughout the week to review online learning which is accessed for the rest of the week. With my safeguarding hat on, this means that we can physically see that the kids are safe as well.

Unfortunately, I think that boat sailed when the government cut all the laptop funding for disadvantaged families.
 
If this government perform yet another u turn and instruct another national lock (which I think is needed) then it just goes to show just how inept and totally useless they are.

The experts were calling for a 2 week lockdown in September. Thanks to this Tory shambles we are now facing 4 weeks plus!
