The government has already published the statistics on risks according to age, ethnic background etc. I suggest you might want to read them.

I don't see that point given the problems in setting up schools and given it's only a month until they break for summer. You haven't addressed that.

Unions are never there for children's welfare or education. Suddenly they are experts on health. Kids need to see their classmates and have a routine or they develop mental health problems such as depression and anxiety. Even a week is enough and totally in their interests but the unions and militant lefties only want to protest against the government. Its perfectly OK for everyone else though.
My sister is a teacher in s school and she says the same as me. She's been at work with key workers kids since the start of this and been fine, the same as the other teachers there.
For the 800,000 vulnerable kids, in this country, denying them a break from abusive and dysfunctional parents is a tragedy in itself.
Kids want to go back to school and giving them a week before the holidays is exactly what they need, its even more reason to send them to school or they will have another 6 weeks of isolation

At least 26 teachers have died from Covid-19https://www.tes.com/news/coronavirus...-died-covid-19
12 May 2020
The total does not include those who are 65 and over and so could be higher.
But between 9 March and 20 April, a minimum of 65 staff working in the education sector died after contracting the virus – more than two dozen of whom were nursery, primary, secondary, or special school teachers, according to figures published yesterday by the Office of National Statistics (ONS).
This equates to an average of four teachers dying with coronavirus each week. However the data does not specify when each death was recorded – so the true weekly total is not known.

The figures are old and, of course, that was while shools were technically closed .....
These are teachers that ill put money, on had existing health conditions and would have died even they were working somewhere else at the time. There are measures in place for this now and clear guidelines
Even that article questions its own figures
