Could teachers who are at home for whatever reason or even retired teachers not teach a dozen or so kids who are also at home, using Zoom or similar ?
If only a couple of hours per day,
has to be better then everybody just sitting about at home on social media!
Am I wrong in thinking the daily cases can be as high as they want as long as hospital admission and icu patients stay low, also if there were more people getting it the herd immunity option comes round far quicker.
sorry I think you were borderline rude there. I don’t have all the answers and never said I did? But clearly kids being back at school is vital.I have seen the damage 6 months at home has had on mine. The government have an impossible task. Good luck to them.

Systems are in place for pre-recorded lessons, if you like, again as per my post a minute ago, the only weak point is parents who don't enforce their children's learning.
Hospital admissions and ICU cases are going up (see the charts I posted a couple of pages back). It’s relatively slowly at the moment because the surge in community cases is predominantly in the under 50s, but if more elderly people are infected then hospitalisation will increase at a faster rate.
There is also a time lag between increased infections and hospitalisations. Similarly, the number of serious cases remained high in the Spring / Summer, for a tine, as the amount of daily infections began to fall.
So the media reports during the Spring and Summer that fee paying schools were far better prepared for on-line learning were wrong? I am just asking because the media are often wrong.
Maybe teachers could have a word with their Trades Union representatives who, IMHO, have contributed to an impression that teachers weren’t fully committed to the education of their students. Obviously, there have been many dedicated teachers education the families of front line workers, preparing for the return to wider school openings etc.
Buggeration, think I've got symptoms now, I can barely reach the kitchen. Tried for a home testing kit but they have none in stock so direct me to the walk in centre...

Your coronavirus test result is negative. You did not have the virus when the test was done.
If you feel well but someone you live with tests positive or you've been traced as a contact of someone who tested positive you must still self-isolate. Follow the guidance on 14 days self-isolation. If you get symptoms of coronavirus, get tested and self-isolate for 10 days from when they start.
If you're not a contact you may return to work if you've not had a fever for 48 hours and feel well. Talk to your employer first.
If you're shielding, or this is for a care home resident, follow the guidance. If the care home resident still has symptoms they may need a repeat test.
If this result is for a child or staff member at school or nursery, tell the school or nursery.
