Re: "......worst death toll in Europe"
If that's your source of news you really need to get out more. I know someone responsible for operations at a large chain of academies across the country. All their schools are open as far as they can be while respecting the government's guidelines (though to be fair as those guidelines change every day - usually at about 7 pm....it's a battle) They have said that the unions have been really supportive, but obviously concerned about their member's health. Kid's education is amazingly important - but you also have to make sure staff and community are protected.
You are so not well informed! And the sad thing is you think you are....
