Biden wants to shut down schools again for 100 days... this is obscene. No one should follow this insanity. There have been zero outbreaks at elementary schools.

Imo Biden is just in the pocket of teachers' unions.

No outbreaks likely due to lock downs.

Lockdowns have a terrible impact on student outcomes. There is simply no excuse for keeping children at home. It's anti-science, anti-education, and anti-public health.

This is definitely a factor.

But children also don't have as many ACE2 receptors on their cells, which is the receptor that the virus uses to attach to and enter cells. Because of this, the deaths from covid among children are less than the cold and flu.

True, and no one in america cares about teachers lives so it should be fine.

Policy makers are tasked with making decisions for the greater good. No one said it was easy. But the risk of a teacher falling ill has to be countenanced with the reality that students will suffer physically, socially, and economically from no school. People will end up dead either way, you can't just shut down schools and pretend you picked the "safe" option.

All the teachers that have died caught it outside the school.

It seems reasonable to keep the schools closed until people have had a chance at the vaccines given they are actually available and not some ever-future promise. Shutting down the schools has seemed more of a burden on parents than children in aggregate IMO. The main culprits being difficulty with setting up a good distance learning environment and lack of socializing their child. The latter something ALL generations are dealing with. Our Policy makers could have come up with 99 more sophisticated ways to shut things down though, the blanket lockdown orders are moronic. Maybe it helps with getting blowback from constituents since everyone is treated equally.
