‘Parents worst nightmare would be the death of a child ... that is an exceptionally rare event [with coronavirus],’ says Dr Jenny Harries

The senior government adviser said: “No environment is completely risk free. Every time a parent sends a child off to school, pre Covid, they may have been involved in a road traffic accident. And in fact that risk – or the risk from seasonal flu – we think is probably higher than the current risk of Covid.Download now

With all this LTN bullshit, no one will be able to move to even crash into anyone. 💁‍♂️

Lots of car crashes in Dundee today - don’t be daft.

Will this Tory stooge shut up, a ludicrous comparison, hasn't she paid attention to what happened in Israel and now Scotland. Of course as Hancock demanded for his horse buddies you approved Cheltenham!!!

I think she's saying it's better to keep your kids at home because if they go to school they could die of Covid or from a car crash. So stay safe, stay home.

Brilliant

Such a sensitive comparison 😟

Google says 60 young people die on the roads every year. So they reckon less people than that.

Well ban the bloody school run, get these dangerous drivers off the roads. Make the kids walk or cycle to school.

This woman has no idea whatsoever.

How many of those kids have died?

Stop listening to the Fakenews Media about a disease where 88% of those impacted by this disease are in age range that puts them out of the workforce. A disease with little/no impact on 99.04% - Stop sacrificing the Young and Healthy for the old and sick. - Get back to work!

This same woman said the UK didn’t need to test for covid because the UK is an advanced country. She has no credibility and pedals government propaganda. I will believe the opposite of everything she says.

👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👆🏼

Great way to stay positive about having to do that daily school run! so if you add the risk of fatal injury on the way in to infection of deadly virus once in where are our kids stats on death then ? Asking for a friend, who wants to keep his family in 1 piece.

Utter Bullshit - look at just one school in Dundee

She said we didn't need masks either... Just saying...

i'm sure thats a comfort to families who have lost kids to car accidents
