The truth is that 3 (THREE) people under 19 without serious underlying comorbidity have died from Covid 19 in England.
There is no reason why kids should not be in formal education, particularly when there are so many community centres, libraries, exhibition centres, government offices and church halls going unused to provide social distancing.
My political credo has always been about the art of the possible. This government hasn't even tried to deal with this situation. They have prioritised the reopening of Primark, McDonalds and Wetherspoons above the education of children. There will be a generation of kids who will never catch up, there will be many who will be abused and exploited without the ability to tell a teacher they trust. I cannot be part of that.
