As ever you speak sense Honey if the Government was dealing with this as a health crisis, and not managing politics; in this case appeasing the teaching unions.
If they were dealing with the situation only as a health crisis we would also not be in lockdown; as this is transparantly worse for the national health than not being in lockdown.
Please write this line 100 times Honey:
"No more people are dying than normal. But the NHS has been underfunded and doesn't have enough beds to treat a new illness. This is about politics, not health."
