There is a vocal handful on these boards that clamor for school openings and quote dubious claims by people who are not pandemic experts.
We must ignore them. They are literally pushing for more deaths.

Literally every health expert thinks schools should reopen. This is not a "handful" of voices.  The only ones against it are teachers' unions. [/quote]

Wrong.

1. DH and I are in the field. NO ONE we know think schools should open at this time.
2. There was some talk during the summer of opening schools. At the time the nation was not in a death spiral. Pay attention to timing of interviews or articles.
3. There are certain professionals who seek media attention, and may choose to take click-bait views. Remember that they do not talk for their profession.

You don't know a lot of people then. There's no way you'd find 100% consensus on keeping schools closed. You exaggerate and/or lie.[/quote]

I know a lot of infectious disease doctors at Hopkins and Maryland who have been sending their kids to in person private school all fall.  Not sure what field you are claiming to be in, but if it is infectious disease, you are in a very tiny minority with your opinion.[/quote]

If they are working, it makes sense and they are at high risk jobs.  They probably need the child care/support.[/quote]

Do you think we all quit our jobs?[/quote]
