The (conservative estimate) over 14,000 kids who would die of COVID-19 nationally if all schools were ignorant enough to open full-time in-person would disagree with you, as in order to have "socialization" and mental health, it first requires one to be ALIVE.  I say we open them up, as long as you're willing to sign on the dotted line that you agree that at least one of those 14,000 will be your kid.[/quote]

Who has estimated that 14,000 kids will die if schools open as appropriate (Montgomery County yes, Jacksonville no) with appropriate risk-mitigation measures?[/quote]

Dunno. Children are at least risk of the virus. THey'd have to have significant underlying health problems. The data is very clear on this.

How many school kids are there? A quick google shows 56 million American school kids. 14,000 is an awful lot but it's also losing perspective. DL should be available for the compromised and kids of compromised families but the rest should have options to go back to school. [/quote]
