Professor Chris Whitty interview on children returning to schools

The video discusses the balance of risks and benefits of children attending school during the COVID-19 pandemic. It highlights the overwhelming evidence that not attending school can cause long-term damage to children, including increased disparities and mental and physical health issues. While there are concerns about COVID-19, the risk of severe illness in children is very low, especially for those without pre-existing conditions. The video concludes that the benefits of attending school outweigh the risks, as the chances of harm from not attending are much greater.
