    I think anyone that thinks that this issue of just closing the schools is an easy answer has no idea what the hell they are talking about.

    My mother teaches at a Title I school (that means the schools that get the most federal funding because things are rough) they provide lunch and breakfast for the kids because many kids will probably not get fed otherwise. For these kids the risk of the problems that will arise from COVID are a much smaller risk and impact than what will happen to them if they are at home all day.

    My point is that the more sure you're right about a given issue the more likely you are to be ignorant of what is really going on.
