        This is the problem with SAGE, one other will be on tomorrow with an opposite argument

        It’s very problematic, and it’s going to create more confusion for already fraught parents and children. I realise the science on this is evolving, but they really need to speak with one voice.

        Schools running at reduced capacity during the entire outbreak...that's why there's no "evidence". It's a lot different working with 15 kids a day, rather than hundreds. I get ill every September after time with new kids, I just hope this year it's the normal 6 week long cold!

        As article says: "The DWP should be brushing up its knowledge of active labour-market policies. If mass unemployment is on the way, it’s going to need some ideas that work".

        Is there a study that has data that they don't help or is he just saying that we don't have data either way. Facts can lie, it's your job to make sure they don't.

        Listen to Independent Sage. They seem to speak the truth more than the Sage people the government use.
