Guess who doesn’t feel depressed and disconnected? People dead of COVID. Their families sure are hurting though.[/quote]

Sure, but the number of teenagers and younger kids being hurt by closed schools is several magnitudes higher than those impacted by Covid. And we have no evidence that opening schools would significantly increase Covid deaths. Sure, we can prevent SOME deaths by keeping schools closed, not just Covid deaths, but also flu deaths, meningitis deaths, school shooting deaths, commuting deaths... But usually we keep schools running despite these risks. It is all a matter of costs vs benefits.[/quote]
Very well said.[/quote]

Kids are impacted when their grandparents die. And black and brown students are likely to be impacted not just emotionally but financially when a grandparent dies. [/quote]

Or parent dies. 
Have seen 2 losses from local schools due to Covid already[/quote]
