Keeping kids out of school _is_ a decision, and not an easy one when having kids at home means the parents can't work.


This keeps being trotted out but is actually a solved problems. For those situations where both parents have to work and both have to work out of home the schools can stay open and give a limited number of pupils regular lessons.

That way you cut down tremendously on a potential vector of transmission with as limited an impact as possible. We've done this here in NL successfully and in other countries besides.


maybe the solution is that parents shouldn't have to work during a pandemic if they can't.
