Question

Keith Massey (Letters, May 20) is all for getting
children back to school. He says there may be
some, but acceptable, risk.
A Public Health definition of acceptable risk states O
this as the degree to which the probability of suffering
disease or injury is viewed as being reasonable by an (
individual or society in exchange
nc
for certain benefits.
(E
Acceptability of risk depends on scientific data; re
social, economic and political factors, and on the
perceived benefits. It does not seem to me that the risk
of contracting Covid19 can be viewed as reasonables
just to get children back to school and parents back top
work, which is surely what this is about.
We should look at France: it has reported 70 cases
of coronavirus linked to schools just a week after they a
reopened. French Education Minister Jean-Michel
Blanque said that the return had put some children in
new danger of infection and that the affected schools
were being closed immediately while seven schools in
northern France have already
closed. This is after France reopened 40,000
preschools and primary schools last week, with
classes capped at 15 students.
Is this the kind of 'acceptable risk' we need just
now? I think not.
