Claiming that countries which opened schools have made significant special arrangements and have extra funding is mostly kind of BS.

Sure, countries like Finland like to talk about "special arrangements", but ask any kid, and the reality is there is no way kids could or would practice social distancing in schools, and the extra measures are mostly just increased handwashing. Schools just don't have the kind of space social distancing would require. No country builds their schools with that much extra space, and no country has the massive amount of extra teachers that would be necessary if you tried bringing the kids in at varying times. Besides, constantly being in the same room with the same people means you're going to get exposed to any airborne viruses pretty much regardless of distance.

That said, kids don't seem to spread the virus much, to each other or to adults. That's the real reason schools have been opening up. The talk of extra measures is just to calm the parents and the teachers.

Of course, the US is not like most countries when it comes to covid-19 right now.

Sometimes a rambling crazy person like Trump might accidentally be correct about something. Opening up schools in the US too might not be a bad idea. Or at least it's not IMO an obviously terrible idea.
