    Anybody with an ounce of common sense knows the school closures were wrong. Many of us doubted it then. The virus pediatric mortality rate was 1/100kthe same as chickenpox. Repeat that to yourself 5 times. Think about it for 5 minutes. School closures were terrible. As we watched the mortality rate from the beginning, it was crystal clear the young were at minimal risk.

    School closures were not to protect the children. They happened to reduce community transmission.

    But you knew that. You just prefer to misrepresent it.

    Whether closing schools was effective towards that end and whether the damage to kids education was a worthwhile tradeoff is a discussion to be had.
