Children ‘paying the price’ for delayed approval of Covid vaccine, experts warn
“We’ve left it too late” as the 80% week-on-week rise in child infections has also fuelled an increase in cases in 30- 49 yr olds, which now stand at 286 per 100,000.

“More than 100,000 children were absent from school with confirmed or suspected Covid infections in the week up to 16 September, while cases among those aged between five and 14 reached 811 per 100,000 for roughly the same period – a record high for the pandemic.” 
“If the current growth rate in cases continues, it will only be a matter of weeks before the same number of children are out of school with Covid as during the summer term, when the “bubble” system forced some 1.1 million youngsters into isolation.”
Worth noting that this would be the number of children WITH COVID isolating, given the DfE bonkers advice in relation to close contacts of infected pupils not having to isolate.
