How would it last longer if the survivors of the mild illness became immune and then stopped the spread to the at risk group?

Leaving the schools open was judged to have a minor effect, I’d be worried about closing schools and leaving work places open meaning that children would be cared for by those at home and at risk groups like grand parents.

How many European countries are following the UK model?

It's been said repeatedly, by those actually working in this sector, that the supply chain is robust

Comments like yours are part of the problem

Probably phrased it poorly.

By shops, I meant non-essentials. Tesco, Dunne’s, etc will be fine. The delivery slots will get harder to get imo as more people decide it’s not worth the risk going out though. That will happen more and more as the lock down increases in harshness.

I wonder if the government will give Tesco and them help with home deliveries. Help them buy new refrigerated trucks and stuff.

Loads of groups of kids meeting up in the housing estate and down the town. Can't see that closing the schools will have any effect on the rate of spread what so ever.

Looking like a very dumb decision.

It wasn’t a dumb decision- it’s the dumb parents here that are the problem

Big difference between meeting outdoors in the fresh air and sitting in the same room as 30 people for 6 hours a day in a confined space, or 500 under the same roof or sharing a playground.

You still favour the herd immunity approach don't you. Italy tried that.

Well, at least teachers are safe and will be able to serve the next generation.

For every kid who does this, there’ll be a dozen who don’t.

Again. People seem to think closing the schools is to stop the spread. It’s not, it’s to slow it down.

There’ll always be idiots, there’ll always be selfish people.

But the actions taken still drastically reduce the numbers of people who are going out, as a sizable portion of people, the vast majority really, will do as told and take precautions.

Could have an effect if everything else is shutdown except food shops and pharmacies. Otherwise as you've seen nothing much changes, the kids are still out and about or with grandparents and the parents are still at work.

This is part of the reasons why a full lockdown is 100% on its way. I dont believe the Monday rumours but could easily happen by end of next week.

While it would take at least 12 to 18 months to ensure the vaccines are safe for the general public, under Chinese law, they can be deployed earlier for urgent use in a major public health emergency, as long as the benefits outweigh the risks.

Same applies everywhere, you are not going to inject your entire population with god knows what.

Surely the parents have some responsibility here, to prevent them gathering in big groups (and preferably keeping them indoors). The whole point of the government directive was to prevent inevitable and unavoidable groupings when kids are in schools/colleges. Now the control of this has been given to parents/guardians and even the kids themselves.

France has closed schools starting next week, but is still holding the local elections (France, meet Iran);

Germany has not yet closed schools nationwide.


Both France and Germany more careless than UK, however, because they had defined epicenters (such as the Oise in France) which they could have locked down (as Italy did with Codogno) - but they chose not to.
