Questions I can't answer -

I don't know whether it's better that schools should remain closed, to minimise transmission of the virus, or should reopen, to give children better access to education:

but I do know that a school which is 'closed' will still be open to children who have particular needs, are seen to be at risk, or whose parents are essential workers; while a school that is 'open' will still be sending home groups of children to self-isolate, and I don't know how they teach classes whose teacher is self isolating (or, indeed, ill). So shouldn't we stop talking about this as - sorry, but this is the only way to say it - an open or shut case, and address the actual, fluid situation?

I don't know whether it's better to vaccinate according to the original, tested, schedule of two doses at 21-day intervals, or to spread the initial and still reasonably effective dose as widely as possible:

but it seems needlessly cruel, not to mention creating a lot of work, to reschedule second doses for which patients have already been given appointments. Couldn't we just say, on second thoughts, let's do it this way from now on?

I don't know who is in charge of naming the fleet of Irish Ferries, but I congratulate them:

A recent report in the Guardian reveals in passing the existence of the ferry Ulysses. I don't know whether the name refers to the original Ulysses / Odysseus, who spent ten years wandering around the Mediterranean trying to find his way home, or Joyce's Ulysses / Leopold Bloom, who spent a day wandering round Dublin. But considering the question brightened my morning.
