Yeah, I'm tired of it too. Does it care? No.[/quote]

Except many countries are reopening and doing fine. I occasionally wonder why my kids can’t even go to a MoCo playground while friends in Florida, Australia, and the Netherlands live life normally.

Here we are wondering if we’re lucky enough for our kids to go to school while elsewhere children are enjoying the normal - parks, playgrounds, beaches, grocery stores, etc.

You do understand the reason, don't you? Even though children are not in danger, why they won't go back to school in the cities on the coasts? I think we all know. [/quote]

Yes, because children's education and well-being are being sacrificed in the name of a hyper-cautious approach that ignores all evidence that opening schools is not going to have a significant impact on the overall spread of the virus throughout society. [b]They are not going back to school[/b] because those in charge refuse to weigh the harms closed schools inflict on children against the questionable benefit doing so has with regard to the larger goal of "flattening the curve", a goal that appears to have been abandoned in favor of an approach that justifies even the most harmful and burdensome restrictions (such as closing schools) as worthwhile if they save even a single life.[/quote]

Oh, I didn't mean to predict anything. I quoted the PP. I very much hope they ARE going back to school, so I hope you are right, "dude".[/quote]
