[quote=Anonymous]An opinion piece by Amita Sudhir (associate professor of emergency medicine and the director of the emergency medicine residency program at the University of Virginia) on the medical case for reopening schools.

-kids don't get it much
-kids don't transmit it to adults much
-the example of Israel isn't great because there's a lot of not wearing masks
-closed schools are terrible for already-disadvantaged kids
-closed schools will lead to women giving up their employment
-there are mitigation measures we should use
-there's not much evidence of risk of open schools, there's lot of evidence of risk of closed schools
-the only way to assess the risk of open schools is to open schools

"Given the enormous cost of keeping kids out of school, even part time, the rational solution is to reopen. As with everything else with COVID, we have to make sound decisions based on what we do know, and right now, the available data mostly suggests that the risk to reopening schools is low and the benefit is high."[/quote]
