    Oh no. He really DID just compare closing US schools as a mitigation strategy with our INVASION OF IRAQ. (As y’all know I believe schools can be reopened with safety investments eg ventilation/distancing/pods. Our kid is back at school in person. But his analogy is HORRIBLE).

        “Teaching American kids online is just like invading Iraq” is a really horrible, horrible take.

        When our kid’s school was online, his teachers were amazing. Astounding. They dropped books off at kids’ houses, ran jazz appreciation classes, did dance classes. Yes, I know, I know, we were very very lucky. I do not think this was equivalent to the US invasion of Iraq FFS.

        If you can open a hospital you can open a school, but these people don’t want to mitigate risk in schools. They want all the kids to get infected because they believe in magic. They think that somehow protects at risk. Insane

        You're right but I don't understand why you don't tell Vinay that.

        The irony of course is that the best way to open schools would be to control covid. But this would mean ignoring the always-wrong covid contrarians that get elevated and celebrated, their factual errors reframed as “independent thinking.”

        Here in UK wanting to mitigate the virus with a sustainable sensible pragmatic plan is considered a fanatical possition. Whereas to hate everything offer nothing of your own and disrupt the response makes you a freedom lover?
