Fair point, however we still football matches being played, Cheltenham happened, pubs, restaurants, supermarkets etc were all open with no social distancing so hardly a fair comparison.
True and as @BlueAnorak said the cases were higher, so wouldn't expect it to get so out of control so quickly. But it would be foolish to let our guard down.
 
The title of that article ("France sees 70 cases linked to schools days after reopening") seems misleading at best when you consider the following quote about 20 lines down: "Given that the incubation period for the virus is several days, people are “likely” to have been infected before the reopening of the schools"

I'm not saying reopening the schools is going to prove a good idea, it's just clear that it's too early to tell. You could just have easily taken everyone associated with the schools reopening and stood them 2 miles apart in a dessert, then tested them all and written an article titled "France sees 70 cases linked to extreme distancing measures".
Infected on Monday would be symptomatic by Friday.
 
They're not though, it's a baby-sitting service to get parents back paying tax in work.

not really I was talking about kids getting an education an important right

if you want to bring up taxes the NHS also be costs over 125 billion a year , where do you think that money comes from? And while we are at it, teachers wages.
 
That is not quite right,it is 2-14 days according to the WHO,it has always been that

The time between exposure to COVID-19 and the moment when symptoms start is commonly around five to six days but can range from 1 – 14 days.

95% of infections incubate by day 5.8. 97.5% by day 11. 99% by day 14. So around 96% would have shown by day 7.
 
Rolls-Royce Derby. Heartbreaking. 9,000 direct jobs. 36,000 associated supply chain jobs, plus ancillary support organisations. Could be as many as 50,000 people's livelyhoods destroyed.

Shame, especially as they should have been enlistes to design and produce the next gen of aircraft engine to ensure flying reaches its emissions goals and this downtime was a hugw opportunity to go heavy on R&D so thei airline industry can thrive when it returns, such a wasted opportunity.
 
In the first 5 days after reopening.
I wouldn’t be so complacent if I were you.

The difference now is people are hyper aware and that is the test in the coming weeks. It's already been proven that lockdowns are totally unnecessary if everyone socially distances correctly which obviously wasn't the case prior to the lockdown.

Lockdowns are only put in place to ensure that the NHS is not overwhelmed by the influx of cases which currently is slowing to normal levels. If everyone follows the rules then there is no reason why at least some things can go back to normal.

Obviously in places where it's impossible to socially distance, there's no chance they'll come back and I'm afraid that means pubs etc. The pubs aren't going to open anyway if they can only fill the place with 1/4 as many people.
