I’m beginning to think it was a bad idea to open the schools and think they should all remain closed. This is one of the main areas of spreading the virus, as in the UK and the rest of Europe. I don’t think Alburqueque has a clue when he stated it’s the parents passing it on to the children, not the other way round.
