Not saying that getting children back to school isn't important and of course theres variation in how schools are setup/volume of students.

But for the UK to say risk of transmission between children is low seems at odds with the science from the rest of the world.

You might be right. But isn't the real problem that the science behind children's susceptibility to CV is not at all understood. For example, are we talking about US children being more obese making the more prone to infection?

Common sense tells me that anyone can be a carrier, whether or not they show symptoms. Accordingly behaviour and hygeine measures need to be put into place at the school. If we don't open the schools, we might as well all go home.
