[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just adding my bit. Great article.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/14/us/german-school-close-coronavirus-lockdown.html

Schools are closed in Germany because numbers were surging. They closed restaurants and bars. They also prioritized schools ahead of restaurants and bars. The US is surging. Read the facts.[/quote]

Not a great article. Completely misleading. Schools did not "close" in Germany. They decided to send everyone into the scheduled Christmas break one week early as the country goes into a stricter lockdown. The stated aim of this early break is to allow families to quarantine before the gatherings start for Christmas. They are planning to open schools either fully (elementary schools) or hybrid (secondary schools) in January, and tighten the mask requirements in schools. To describe that as 
"the schools got sacrificed" is really misstating what happened.

Now if there are broad, prolonged closures after the break, then this might be more accurate. But that is not the plan as of now.[/quote]
