[quote=Anonymous]To go back to the original post, Germany may be closing schools now, as they can't get the numbers to come down without it.  But they've been open for a long time, and when numbers get under control, they will reopen again.  This seems like a reasonable approach.  In the US, we both had schools opening with abandon (no matter what the numbers) and schools staying closed since Marcy even in places where community spread was low but non-zero.  We did not prioritize schools.  Bars and restaurants opened before schools in many cities.  It's abysmal.

I don't think we should open schools now, and even when/if case numbers improve, we should not open them normally at full capacity.  But we should be prioritizing high need kids ASAP, and all kids in general. But, with no federal government financial support for those who are unable to work, it was essential to keep businesses open so people (including kids and their parents) can put food on the table and a roof over their head.
