What are we at now? 35000+ deaths? How many new cases today? More than 15 by a fair way.

What they do in Australia can't really be applied here
...yet, as the researcher who carried out the study we are discussing, pointed out on the radio this morning.

Its being used by the Telegraph and those of an anti teacher / public sector opinion to roll out the 'lazy skiver' and 'millitant unions' message. Its the Daily Mail with longer sentences.
I have to completely disagree with you.

Our team on the SAGE group will be looking at all evidence from other countries and working out if an how it might apply here and help them offer better advise to Government.

It's not whether it can be applied here. It's whether any information could be useful, and evidence of infections in schools would be relevant from Australia, Singapore, Denmark...
