The kids are just equipped to cope with school.

Semantics up there with OB claiming the original variant went away in summer. Equally every school holiday is correlated with a drop in community transmission.
Not sure what being a school governor has to do with anything other than perhaps explaining an emotive and irrational response to the subject of pandemic management.

If anything comes of any inquiry, it will be that in closing schools the negatives far outweighed any perceived benefit.
Optimus Prime will sort it. Given that there is no real data atm. Your certainty is misplaced. Or is Hypothetical at best

As I say, you've been wrong before. You aren't considering the data. You're just opining about a subject you profess to be bored of and not care about. Yet here you are, passionately opining that there's no justification for any restrictions nor lockdowns.
You may claim there's no real data, but unfortunately - as before - taking a British centric approach to data leads to being late to the table.
My certainty is well placed. Give it a month, max. See I consider the data. I care about the subject. And I don't view it through an ideological prism of despising state intervention at all costs - even if it's saving jobs and lives.
