Surely the quickest way to get key workers the virus is for them to be treating people with the virus. Which is unavoidable if you work in the NHS.

The fact is that approximately 46% of the NHS workers have school aged children. If the NHS is struggling to cope now it will be struggling to cope if 46% of its staff are at home looking after their children.

At the moment we all need to support the NHS, be that be in the form staying indoors or providing a service that takes pressure of the staff of the NHS. Teachers at the moment are providing a valuable service.
