Nice selective quotation, Pierre.

And in actual fact in the pandemic it's a sensible precautionary action to stop the NHS being overwhelmed. The data will inevitably support schools bring the cause as infections drop in Tier 4 areas that have, to date, seen increases.

Now I'm no expert but one of those scenarios has all the reasons I'm not allowed to go into work.
