When you take into account the very limited numbers of pupils currently in most schools around 2-5%, what happens when it increases to 10-20-30%?

We asked ages ago if the government was modelling this and on what evidence

No response to the questions

In the @lbc news bulletin just now
'Government is urging councils to get more parents to send their pupils into school's
Without prior warning and proper communication schools wont have enough staff on rota to keep them safe.
Completely reckless, I hope @neucllrs refuse

Thought this crisis the government has refused to respond to all evidence based questions that have been put to them
Completely evasive its difficult to see how they are following the science.
All covered here with a link to the questions gov wont answer

Public Health England funded a report by University of East Anglia on lockdown measures published last week analysis data from 30 European countries

School closures and banning mass gathering were the most effective measures in reducing infections+RO

A couple more
Nursery nurses Covid: 3 Total: 20

Childminders Covid:6 Total :18

What is clear from Mondays #PressBriefing is they really dont have a grip on the risks attached to education settings, rushing into increasing numbers is reckless and dangerous, no concern for staff

If people dispute the figures please go through table 8 of the ONS figures, I'm perfectly capable of making mistakes+will correct.

I hope I've double counted would make me feel safer.

They are divided by gender,male first so you have to scroll right to get to the female numbers

My count of 65 appears right
Thanks to @FCDWhittaker for doing this piece, hes a good guy.
Despite the odd bit of irritation at the occasional @SchoolsWeek
story they're miles above TES

Worth noting only around 2% of students have been in school for 6 weeks

The 65 are confirmed deaths, looking back through data I couldnt find a 3 or 5 year average but in service teacher deaths for 2019 were 130
Total teacher deaths during the Covid crisis covered in the ONS are 238. Make of that what you will.
