Agree, the next generation of adults would be badly effected but there is no easy answer, and the government are charged to manage the risk.No chance, that would be almost a year of education lost. The impact on these kids is going to be far greater that what the virus is having. Come January when there is no vaccine and there are still cases knocking about, what do we do then, lose another 6 months? The schools have been made as safe as possible and it had to stay that way. We cannot sacrifice a whole generations future over this virus.
Double edged sword Kaz, hands on worker's would get no paying customers through the door especially catering and small businesses if the workforce are at home.Back to working from home again,some of us said at the time that forcing people back to the work place in one go was wrong ,coming out of lockdown needed much more of a gradual plan , if people were perfectly productive at home then they should have stayed there and started with hands on workers first

Completely agree. We can't keep this lockdown extended indefinitely purely as the social, economic and many other costs will start to significantly outweigh what the lockdown is seeking to fix. If we carry this on for too long, we're looking at massive job losses, causing enormous pressure on the benefits system, mental health etc, plus income tax receipts will come down as a result leaving less money to pay for those needing hospital treatment. There is no easy way out of this, but we can't keep pretending that 'just keep it locked down' is a viable medium term fix.Agree, the next generation of adults would be badly effected but there is no easy answer, and the government are charged to manage the risk.
I don't agree with their current thinking of giving notice of a restriction, it should be a binary switch imo.
Bottom line is, something needs to give as we cannot allow the infection rate to continue to rise as it is.
What lockdown?Completely agree.
