Also whilst all the children are off school, that’s potentially taking doctors and nurses out of hospitals, to look after their offspring, all at time when their presence is desperately required looking after the people who are seriously ill by this virus.

Yet the UK Government isn't ruling this out, nor are they ruling out banning large gatherings.
Indeed, it's accepted as inevitable. What makes 8-9 days time the optimum time to do so, when potentially thousands of asymptomatic carriers are out there right now?
