I think the ultimate responsibility for this lies with the Govt (they're in charge!), but it needs everyone to work together.
I know it's difficult and we all want the best for the kids.
I have grandchildren missing out on education & I am worried for their future.
In England, the number of people in hospital with the virus continues to drop. It's now 769, a month ago it was over 2000.
There are 68 patients in mechanical ventilation beds, a month ago it was over 200.
No rises yet, in fact these stats are continuing to fall.
I hope decisions aren't being based on this.
Happy to be corrected, but the newer figure includes antibody tests.
Lots aren't new cases, that is lower.
6361 is also collected over three days, so it shouldn't be compared to one day's total in March.

Children of all ages will continue to suffer unless we can get schools open again.
It's been months, the Government have got to get it moving.
Opening zoos, pubs, shops and football is great, but we need our schools and playgrounds open fast.
This is a genuine breakthrough.
Oxford researchers have found the drug dexamethasone reduces Coronavirus deaths. In the trial it reduced death rates by a third for patients on ventilators.
It's cheap, easy to use and could save so many lives across the world.
Fantastic news.
School age children are more likely to be hit by lightning than die of Coronavirus.
Good stat from @sarahknapton and @christopherhope.
We need to make it safe for teachers, but we have to get education moving again. It's the poorest children who are losing out the most.
