I think there are good points in here that needs to be considered carefully. But I wish if there was some balance in also discussing the serious harms that result for children and poor single mothers. It seems like for them, schools are essential for their lives. Also, the data seems to show (though it's not completely settled) that children get less sick from COVID19 than the flu and don't seem to be spreading the virus at a high rate. I know what I say here were will be looked upon with suspicion or ignored (it's called confirmation bias) but we should at least have a more accurate and honest assessment. We have to be open-minded and be willing, at the minimum, to see how complicated this situation is and that Mayor Lightfoot has good reason too want schools to open up. She isn't winging it. By considering both sides we can at least demonize each other a bit less and see that we may not (including myself) have a monopoly on truth.
