a) This is a false dichotomy, it isn't a binary choice between education and death. 0-17 accounts for 678 *total covid deaths* [0]
b) This IS a problem of people 60+ and 50+. Collapse affects everyone, but the vast majority of deaths and hospitalizations are among individuals in this age cohort (~93%). If hospitals collapse it won't be because the kids went to school.
The goal of this rhetoric should be to guide everyone towards consensus so we can plan better for the next time around. If it sounds extreme, maybe that's because it should be treated with urgency.
