Yes,but if my memory isn't playing tricks they were stating with some certainty that back in Spring it wasn't aerosol spread. Being totally honest I don't think they've ever known 100%.

It’s aerosol spread mate. That’s how the droplets get from person to person.

Excuse my piss poor spelling, but doesnt the En locus patentis thing that teachers and schools are expected to live by extend to being secure in the knowledge that their children will be safe?

And thats before we talk about the threat to the staff themselves.

It should do, and I'm sure that if someone ever sued them because their kid (or teacher relative) died as a result of the school being kept open it would absolutely be their responsibility.

However as we saw before Christmas (and with this delaying the second Pfizer jab thing) ministers sometimes just can't help themselves when the opportunity to look moronic presents itself.

Does that mean you can just get it cos its in the air? Like SD isnt really a thing at all?

I took it as the aerosols transmits the droplets that contain the virus. If these were to land on a surface, the virus would survive for a period of time.

My wife has had some conversations regarding who'd be responsible if a member of staff died due to COVID, where the likelihood is they caught it in school.

As an employer, they still have a responsibility for the safety and well-being of the staff or that'd be the line the government would use - e.g. deflect the blame.

Isn't the concern that this particular strain may be aiding the spread of the virus across the population rather than causing a surge in child hospital admissions?

Yeah but there was a report on BBC yesterday about children in wards that doctors are trying to reassure people about - about the only saving grace of this virus has been the comparative mildness in children although obviously there have still been awful loss of life in some kids.
 
We've now reached the point that London is cancelling cancer operations and still the government haven't made an announcement about the remaining schools. There needs to be a lockdown on a par with the first to sort this mess out and it needs to happen now.
