This Is Worrying News.
One of my daughters is a teacher, another one is a teaching assistant, and 4 of my grandchildren go to school, although not in Scotland. If it can happen in Scotland though, I expect it could happen here.

I wouldn't be worrying about the children. I might worry about them spreading it to the adults back at home. But basically school staff are much safer than adults in other workplaces with all the precautions being taken. Children attend school through Flu epidemics. They should have returned earlier in preference to pubs and restaurants. There will still be some pretty stupid parents that will keep their children at home. Kids need to get back to normal.
I have some other news which may come as a shock barsel - viruses tend to spread among their chosen hosts. This latest virus is no different. When humans get together and one or more of them has it there is a chance that it will spread. To prevent that you must either keep all humans away from one another or make sure they are all dressed in something like this:

Neither is practical or desirable so we must take things as they come.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was teachers spreading the virus to children rather than the other way round. A short while after the pubs reopened the landlady of one of my local pubs noticed a small group of customers drinking in the garden was gradually getting larger. Soon there were getting on for twenty people there and they had moved garden furniture - which she had carefully placed to allow anti-social distancing - so as to be able to sit closely together. She approached them saying that they should not assemble in such a large crowd and that the furniture must be replaced. They reluctantly complied but explained that they were a group of teachers from a local school having a belated "end of term" get together. Quite what term it was they had been celebrating the end of wasn't clear, especially has their school had been closed for four months because it was considered "unsafe" for them to be there.

The only news that would really worry me is a) a noticeable rise in hospital admissions due to Covid and b) a noticeable rise in deaths due to Covid where I live.
If a noticeable rise in the number of cases in our area was reported without a) and b), I would certainly be more cautious, but I wouldn't worry about it.

what is perhaps more worrying is this:-

of course one shouldn't speculate based on one case; however if borne out by further evidence, it would hugely affect the possibility of vaccinating the virus out of existence.

If that person had no symptoms the second time, it says to me that maybe having had (or possibly been vaccinated) against one strain of the virus might also give protection against mutated strains. I would be wanting to know if that possible protection would be making the person less likely to shed viable virus and infect others.
I rather admire the Spanish Doctor and his response to their version of our Beep Beep See attack "reporters". Why is he not over here and sharing his wisdom with our enaichess? "There is no Emergency!"

"Dead City"?? I don't think so, we are known as Fundee or Sun City as we get the most sunshine per annum of all Scottish Cities. However, on the virus; have just been speaking to my granddaughter and three pupils from her school with symptoms were sent home today. One of the teachers who tested positive at another school has 3 children at my granddaughter's. All pupils now wearing masks in communal areas such as corridors and dining areas.
