Would schools close down due to rise in strep A deaths?

There have now been 24 deaths altogether in uk and 21 children have died in uk due to this. Parents have been calling to shut schools down i guess when these little kids go back first day in January the government would do a U turn and close schools down until winter is finished hopefully thats what happens what do you guys think? Can the government let us do remote learning?

i doubt well have another lockdown

99% sure not. If they were then probably primary schools only as those are the age bracket most severely affected

You never know secondary schools too and it affects any age and a 16 year old boy died from it too so could be a bit of hope

Schools were closed for months for covid where school aged children were the least affected of all groups. At this point there’s no rational case to do it, and no rational case not to. That’s how insane public health has become across the world.

I mean schools didn’t shut even after thousands of cases so one really won’t shut schools

No we can’t keep closing schools and isolating people because of Diseases going around. Need to build up immunity.

Oh, I see. You're just angling for more time off as if you don't get enough in the school holidays. Ruined a lot of people's education among a lot of other things the last time they did anything like that so I don't think they'll be in a rush to do it again.

They could do At this point I think enforcing masks would be a good move. If that doesn't help then closing the schools must be considered particually for primary school. It's not ideal but it maybe the most effective option.

Unlikley, lockdowns over the previous years have damaged education in that age bracket enough so the government wouldn't be keen on doing so. Should they? It probably be the school leaders decision but I think the peak rate of infection is around January so If cases in nearby schools occur then I would support it for a week or 2.
