[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quick internet search says Germany is in lockdown until Feb 14. This comparison with Germany is impossible. We just aren't there.So if they are in a full lockdown, why do we think it is OK to open schools now in the middle of a surging pandemic? It isn't. By fall, or even in spring, schools will be back in session.[/quote]

Yes, we know Germany is in a lockdown. The point is that they are keeping schools open, at least elementary schools, at least hybrid, despite the lockdown. If their Covid numbers in areas with open or partially open schools are comparable, then it is absolutely valid to compare their situation with what we are doing. It's not like the lockdown will instantly control transmission to make schools safe. They are keeping schools partially open despite the risk, and they can afford the partial, temporary shutdown because they let kids go to school all fall, when in some areas their numbers were even higher than what we ever saw in DC.[/quote]

My friends in Britain, their kids aren't in school. Highly contagious Covid afoot now, endemic by March. [/quote]
