+1. The continued school closures, and probably even the initial closures, are not based on science. WaPo has an article by an epidemiologist today that says as much:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/05/29/case-reopening-schools-this-fall/

All the people claiming these decisions are based on science really don't know what they are talking about. We are in a state of mass hysteria, as is evident from all the parents fearful for the safety of their kids if schools reopen, when Covid is significantly less dangerous for kids than the flu. I really hope those people are a minority and the pressure on public officials is going to mount to actually look at the evidence when making decisions about schools, and not basing them on everybody's gut feeling that kids spread germs and it's therefore too dangerous to operate schools.[/quote]

Kids aren't the only ones at school.

Also, I"m old enough to remember DCUM's position in March, which was CLOSE THE SCHOOLS NOW BECAUSE SCIENCE!

To take the position now that closing the schools was a hysterical overreaction...[/quote]
