@JoeAltmaier I can't reply to your answer directly for some reason, but: to me it is not obvious at all that schools are a primary disease factor.
Most kids show no symptoms when they are infected. AFAIK there is no proof yet that asymptomatic carriers of the COVID virus can contaminate others. And if they do, it might be much less than carriers with symptoms. This is not only my opinion, it was the opinion of Dutch virus experts as well at the time the decision was taken to close schools. That was a political decision, based on the fear that lived among people to send their kids to school.
But instead of opinions it is better to talk about facts, and now that schools are reopening everywhere we have plenty of those. And the facts are showing that reopening the schools does not significantly increase the number infections.
