[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chinese children are back in school and they are wearing masks.  They are also wearing hats that promote social distance.  A recent thread on here had photos.[/quote]

It looks like only students preparing for entrance exams (the equivalent of our high school seniors, 8th graders) are back

They are allowing them back to prepare for exams (and because presumably 17/18 year olds are more responsible than 5 and 6 year olds about keeping masks on).  Everyone else is still online.[/quote]

The kids in the photos with the hats are definitely not 17/18 year olds.[/quote]
Denmark and Japan have reopened too. By fall our schools will be open, it is months away and people are returning to work this month already.[/quote]

Denmark is only the youngest children back. They split every class into 1/3rds to spread out the kids and draw boxes on the playground to give each kid their own area to play.  Drop off and pick up are staggered to minimize interactions.  They are back for childcare reasons--which is fine, but let's not pretend that it's because it's a safe idea yet.[/quote]
