Whilst mums are naturally concerned about the safety of their children, there’s no reason to be alarmist about the schools reopening (Courant, May 21).

Being a human is hard at times but most children do not catch the virus or are symptomless if they do.

My adult son has been teaching English at a middle school in South Korea since March.

No problems for the kids, teachers or other staff.

And all young people need to maximise their learning to prepare for a fast changing world.

Sadly. money will be tight for a while and retailers must get online and be niche.

But Covid-19 will bring benefits.

We have discovered and love a traditional milkman and doorstep deliveries.

Life will be cleaner, greener and more people will work from home.

More us are focusing on being slimmer and healthier so fresh high quality local foods will be popular.

And we will need more training in writing apps, blocking online scammers and making devices more accessible for older people.

As we know, the only thing certain in life is change.

So let’s hope unlocking opens up some interesting new adventures for us all.
