Was just discussing this, and some people are looking at schools to go back because "it doesn't affect kids much". However, with 10+million school children, at least some of them would unfortunately die. There is also the issue of 500,000+ teachers and support staff, who *are* affected to varying degrees. Unless we look at compulsory masks and other PPE at schools, we could be sacrificing a few thousand kids (0.1% mortality is potentially 10000 children) and up to 5000 teachers (@1% mortality) because infections will spread at lightening speed.
Any parent would be worried sending their child back. Whilst they are low risk compared to other age groups they are still at risk like the rest of us and school from standing room only buses to cramped classes to busy corridors and packed dining areas it's one of the hardest possible places to social distance with measures still in place. Ideal world pubs will be able to open in May. Social distancing in them is much easier in warmer weather with beer gardens compared to if all this was happening in winter. When the government start to expect people to get back to some normality, they need to cut a bit of slack with giving people somewhere they can unwind.
It depends how many days deaths are included in it. Yesterday's figure included deaths going back 17 days and today it's 21 days.

That’s the point, there’s more than the usual reporting delays over the weekend, and we’ve just had a 4 day weekend
I reckon I’ve seen a total of a dozen people not observing the recommendations; of which at least 8 have been in the ‘at risk’ demographic.
Last week there was a very frail elderly couple in an enormous queue outside Tesco. Each customer in turn let them go in front of them, until a steward shouted to everyone "does anyone mind if I take them straight in". It beggars belief that there wasn't a family member who could have done it for them. They ought to be ashamed if so.
Sorry about this, just fitted a new screen protector to phone and it has made it go beserk. Just had to obtain a refund off Amazon after it ordered and paid for "Memoirs of a Stuka Pilot" whilst in my pocket.
They might not have any family local. I and my sister both live 200 miles away from my parents - We have managed a couple of online shops for them but its almost impossible to get a slot as even though both are well into their 80's and mum is really unwell they haven't got the letter saying they are vulnerable so we cant get a priority slot for them .Fortunately a great neighbour across the road also has picked up shopping for them when she has done hers and the carers that visit mum every day have picked up small things like milk for them, so Dad hasn't needed to go out but we are really stymied so if it wasnt for that he would have no choice to go out to get basics. There will undoubtedly be people with no nearby relatives who are either too proud to ask for help or don't have anyone nearby they can ask. I suspect the former though. Even in Surrey which isn't the most friendly county all our street is in touch with each other checking who needs what, and our Church has more than enough volunteers who will shop for those who cant be out whether or not they actually attend the church. But people need to accept the help and not everyone will.
Going to probably get worse for elderly and those with underlying health conditions as a minister has told the Telegraph they are expected to be told to stay inside for six months.
Even worse for a lot of them as vulnerable patients with COVID infections were being sent from hospital to care homes without adequate safeguards
28 year old pregnant nurse died, emergency C section took place. Not sure what the health of the baby is. Taken from Ch4 news Twitter feed. This is the worst thing I've read so far, and has my blood boiling.
The testing rate is a shambles with around half a percent of the UK population so far being tested. We won't be anywhere near 100,000 tests a day by the end of the month. Daily infections will continue for a long time to go as people spread the virus without knowing they have it.
