• There is a decision to be made somewhere, eg not the Isles of Scilly.

    The issue with Barnet/Haringey is Haringey has a higher infection rate than Barnet. It might make sense to close primary schools in areas with a rate higher than some threshold. Once that value is selected it would seem logical to apply it consistently. Birmingham is 'only' at 350/100k which is a lot lower than London at 750/100k.

    Although Westminster primaries were on the closed list at 450/100k which doesn't seem all that different to Birmingham.

  • The only reason I could think of is that the gov have some data on number of nhs workers living in each borough and wanted to keep schools open in boroughs with lots of nhs employees so they could continue to go to work. Probably not likely though tbh.
