Nope, it doesn't.  The mortality rate among children and young adults is very low.  The risk is not to the kids, but to the adults (including elderly ones) who are at higher risk of catching it from a kid who is just a carrier and exhibits no symptoms.

Again, this is why the focus should now be on protecting the most vulnerable.  The level of protection, ranging from social distancing & substantial hand washing... to total quarantine depends on the people being protected.[/quote]

It's always useful to remember that you can't have school without teachers, building staff, transportation staff, and administrators, all of whom are typically adults.[/quote]

And you can’t have grocery stores, electricity, telephones, gas stations, infrastructure, banks, doctors office and hospitals without adult staff either, yet we have all those things.

If some teachers and staff can’t or won’t come back, so be it.  But, the kids are entitled to an education and shutting schools indefinitely because some teachers won’t come back is a gross disservice to every kid.[/quote]
