I sometimes almost apologise for posting every day about Covid-19. I do it because - it's the greatest issue of the past 100 years, changing every day, why wouldn't we talk about it? Kids and schools, obviously a focus for me right now. Not because I'm terrified for my kids, as some assume (though of course I'm concerned for them, as every parent would be). But because I think that decision has the potential to drive the infection deeply and widely into our communities. Have a look at the summary the BBC did on the main issues about schools and Covid-19. You might find it doesn't match much of what we get told by the National Cabinet here. From day one their focus has been fighting for 'the economy', not fighting the virus. You can see it this week, an orgy of economy talk. Their focus has never been to stop you getting sick, they just wanted to make sure hospitals were ready for you if you do. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200330-coronavirus-are-children-immune-to-covid-19
