what are you saying doesn't matter?
[QUOTE=RichieRich;7542413]- more than enough statistics to indicate that the younger ones are generally least susceptible to landing in ICU or death.

I'm not sure what you were going for here. Yes, part of the problem is that they can infect others. They also might have risk factors themselves.

This is a fairly common response to COVID. "If we can't fix it all at once, then why bother trying?" Doesn't make much sense to me though.
Every student not in the classroom, makes the entire classroom safer. I have the option to work from home and my kids have spots in dayhome they can continue to attend. It makes sense for us to keep them out of school. Not everyone is the same, but that's the beauty of free will.
