one reason to close school is not just about kids got covid themselves, but they could carry covid back home and hurt those elders in the house and make the pandemic worse.
it's a trade-off, I think we did what we had to do.
- nradov 4y agoNo that's incorrect. We never had to close schools. Sweden kept primary schools open (without masks) and they did fine. Closing schools was a completely irrational overreaction.
- giraffe_lady 4y agoThey had vastly more covid deaths than their nordic peers. That's a consequence you can argue is justified, I suppose, but you shouldn't try to dismiss it as "did fine."
- spookthesunset 4y agoWhen the dust has settled and level heads can do actual good studies on the outcomes of the last two years of mitigations... I'm pretty sure the findings will be that closing schools didn't do a damn thing but screw over kids. Same with virtually every other NPI.
- xorcist 4y agoThat's an extreme form of cherry picking. Germany and the Netherlands are more suitable comparisons.
- ovi256 4y ago> they could carry covid back home and hurt those elders in the house So why not remote school just the children with elders in the house, and not hurt the others' schooling ?
