I still wish they would recommend old and immunocompromised to stay locked up and let the young and fit out. It’s the only way out of the situation.

The UK was going to that but the numbers of dead / ICU treated looked too high.

Closing schools before the summer break might end up actually leading to more deaths, because young folks would develop immunity (relatively) safely while among their peers. Although this probably applies more to colleges and boarding schools. And if anything the less healthy teachers could have been sent home.

Young folks in schools are in constant contact with old folks. Whatever is spreading in school does not stay contained there.

The thing about schools is that thy are super effective at spreading everything.
