You know what else widens inequality?  DEATH

Death of caregivers, death of siblings, deaths of entire communities who who have pre-existing conditions. But who cares about that right?[/quote]

There's almost no evidence that kids pass corona onto adults.  Who cares about that, right?  If Denmark can figure out how to re-open school safely, the US can, too.  Think outside the box- conduct classes in parks where possible.  Copenhagen's parks are currently full of kids taking classes.  Anything is better than pretending that this distance learning set up is working well.

This is factually wrong, based on the two studies of kids transmitting Coronavirus that I know of off the top of my head.  What is true is that the data so far shows less evidence of kids as patient zero for a household or a school that we'd expect.  However lack of evidence is not evidence of a lack.  I've never been upstairs in one of my friend's houses, so I have no evidence that their house has bedrooms.  Should we base life or death policy decisions on a bet that my friends house has no bedrooms?
