They aren't fun when you come face to face and neither of you expected to see each other.

Yeah, it's well known that COVID generally doesn't hit the young all that hard when we know the flu can be pretty dangerous for young children.

I understand the statement, but what is your overall premise?

Should schools be closed this fall to in-person learning?  If everyone masks up on on school grounds, what's the problem?  Colleges could pose some issues due to on campus living, but what's the issue for K-12?

That kids are fuging super spreaders of basically any illness. They are little disease bags.

If you have kids teaching kids, kids running the schools, kids driving the school buses and kids raising themselves when they get home...there's no reason to shut down the schools.

The issue is not the kids, its all of the people they come in contact with.  And maybe school has changed since I was there, but a majority of my teachers could be considered higher risk.

Science still does not have a firm understanding on how much kids can spread Covid. The data is just not there since schools were shut down so fast back in March.

Since we don’t know, Governors and schools are taking a cautious approach. Low risk does not mean no risk.

If everyone went potty like they should, we could eliminate diapers. Little kids have a different set of ideas than ( most) adults.

True, but do we close down schools for the flu?  Does the flu not spread from kids to adults?  Asymptomatic folks are less likely to be a vector than symptomatic persons.  Again, college is a whole different ball of wax, but K-12 should be straight forward.
