I appreciate his honesty on that. Wish he could have gone on to admit that we should expect teachers to die, for parents and grandparents to die, and even a few kids to die. And of those that survive, some fraction will suffer lifelong organ damage and other lingering problems. Then he can drop his line, “We gotta move on. We can’t just let this thing stop us in our tracks.” And this study was probably posted somewhere already, but a South Korea study finds that while kids under 10 are less infectious than adults, teenagers are at least as infectious as adults. We also know the mortality rates for kids start going up before their 18th birthday. So maybe this "the kids will be alright" argument can work for elementary school, but it's pretty irrelevant to middle and high school.

But if only the wealthy kids go to school, the working class parents can’t get back to work and increase Trump’s re-election chances.
I get your point but the working class parents won't be able to go back to work as Covid is still out of control.
