• De-escalation. The chaotic "back to school" in the UK

The United Kingdom has already crossed the barrier of 39,000 coronavirus deaths after the incorporation of 445 deaths over the weekend from the same number of patients who had tested positive outside of hospitals. With 111 hospital and residential deaths in the last 24 hours, the provisional balance of 39,045 deaths.

The National Statistics Office estimates, however, at 53,960 "excessive" deaths (possibly attributable to the pandemic) in the last four months. Other calculations set the bar even above 60,000 . At least four of the ten districts with the highest number of infections are in the north of England (Sunderland, Gateshead, South Tyneside and Middlesbrough). Health Secretary Matt Hancock assured that the British Government can continue to use a more localized strategy now, with possible quarantines in certain areas.

More than two million primary school students were scheduled to go back to school in England today, but the lack of preparation in schools, the fear of parents and teachers and the confusion about government rules contributed to the chaos on the day baptized by the media like 'Happy Monday'.
