Plenty of adults work at schools. I understand the frustration. I cry for the lost year here in my kids’ lives. But I’m also not thrilled to sacrifice teachers and other educational workers on a bonfire. Will you personally volunteer to spend days in cramped classrooms with 25 kids?

Where would this "bonfire" come from? Have other professions experienced with a "bonfire" when they went back to work? Will you personally volunteer to spend days in cramped classrooms with 25 kids? Volunteer, no, obviously not. Pay me more than what I get now, sure. I'm not afraid of children. Nor am I retired or in any risk group. I know the data about the risks perfectly well - I'm in far more danger from simply getting to and from the school in the first place. It's other adults that can infect me, not children: https://www.rivm.nl/en/novel-coronavirus-covid-19/children-and-covid-19 https://www.rivm.nl/en/novel-coronavirus-covid-19/children-a... Worldwide, relatively few children have been reported with COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. Data from the Netherlands also confirms the current understanding: that children play a minor role in the spread of the novel coronavirus. The virus is mainly spread between adults and from adult family members to children. The spread of COVID-19 among children or from children to adults is less common.
