Which will cause most problems - lockdown/schools closing, or the NHS being overwhelmed, NHS staff burn-out and sickness (which adds to the NHS issues), the unknown impact of Long Covid on people and the NHS, the heartbreak of families when a relative dies from COVID without any family member with them?
Well, the big question of course, is where do you find evidence that closing primary schools will help the situation? There is none, is the simple answer. You are in panic mode, my friend. We need to study the evidence rather more carefully than jumping to such conclusions.

Balance your solution with the problems we are aware of, such as denying young children the education they need at a crucial time in their lives, and how their parents will look after them if both are working full time. Is that not worthy of consideration too?
