[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools will open when it's safe, and they'll remain in DL if it isn't. That's all there is to it. [/quote]

The problem is "safe" is a relative term. Some would say safe is now-when we effectively flattened the curve in this area. Others think "safe" is when there is this magical vaccine that everyone is so sure we are going to get. In that case "safe" could be in 5-7 years. Are you ok with your kids doing distance learning for 5-7 years? [/quote]

The curve flattened because we stayed home. Open up schools and it'll turn right back upward again.[/quote]

You do not know that. Things have been opening now for the past month, and the numbers have continued to go down.[/quote]

I think the PP is right that the curve flattened because many people stayed home. She is wrong that SCHOOL closures played a major role in that flattening, given that kids aren't really spreading the virus much. Which is why it would make so much sense to open schools, but maintain other precautions in place.[/quote]

PP is wrong that opening things up will necessarily make things worse and lead to exponential growth in COVID infections. We just don’t know. And data over the past month indicates she is wrong. [/quote]
