Expert: Isolating children more dangerous than returning to school

by

Re-opening schools carries a lower risk of long-term harm to children than staying indoors, said England’s chief physician Chris Whitty.

He admitted that the government needed to “balance the risk” on whether children should return to school, but added that he felt students will suffer more by not going to themthan walking, even during the current pandemic.

“First, the evidence that children’s long-term non-school attendance is overwhelming is overwhelming, including their long-term outlook. It increases the risk of inequality, reinforces deep-seated problems, and increases the risk that in the long run they will be in a bad mental and physical condition“- he explained.

He acknowledged that the reopening of schools would put pressure on the R-factor, which is the rate of virus transmission, could lead to the re-closure of pubs and shops in some areas, but argued that opening schools would not significantly increase the risk for children.

As he explained, there is “overwhelming, clear evidence that the likelihood of children dying from Covid-19 is extremely small“He added that” there is some evidence that their chances of catching Covid-19 are lower. “

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson wants all students to return to school from early September, arguing that their staying at home will exacerbate social inequalities.

Whitty also expressed concern that an effective and effective vaccine against the coronavirus may not appear until the end of next year, so during the next winter there may be “real epidemic problems”. “I would, of course, be delighted if (the vaccine) came sooner rather than later, but I’d be surprised if we had a highly effective vaccine ready for mass use on a significant percentage of the population by the end of winter, and certainly before this Christmas,” Whitty said.
