[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Should schools be open when there’s hurricanes so that people don’t beat their kids? What about blizzards? I recall MCPS closing for three weeks. Maybe schools should be open 24/7/365 so that people don’t beat their kids? Because clearly the onus is not on the people who beat their kids, but schools for being closed.[/quote]

[b]35,000+ people die every year in car crashes.[/b] If we close the roads and ban automobiles, that rate would plummet. Why do we allow people to drive cars?

Because life is a matter of trade-offs. Scientists talk about it from a scientific perspective (as they should) but don't consider the other implications.

I guarantee if kids go back to school, more people will get corona, and more people will die. The question is -- how bad will it be?

We allow cars on the road, despite more people dying by doing so. It's a trade off.[/quote]

Actually, this is a horrible analogy. This number could be much smaller, if we were serious about making roads safer. But we're not. 35,000+ people die every year in car crashes because we don't care.[/quote]

Making roads safer = still leting people drive, but make the roads safer. How about we do this with schools too? Let kids go to school, but have precautions in place. The current situation is akin to just closing roads and banning cars completely.[/quote]
