I mean, plenty of countries never closed their schools down. Or at least not for very long. SF schools were closed from March 2020 to Aug 2021.

And the governor of the fine state of CA sent his kids to private school for the entire time.

Also, closing school for "just" a year and half is an enormous disruption to education.

A year and a half is an eternity for a kid. Remember how long summer break felt as a child? Or a whole year?

Society stole children’s childhood from them for a disease that doesn’t even affect kids.
