From an infection control point view, let alone harm to children, we appeared to have landed on the worst possible option. Whatever risks there are, closing schools simply displaces and worsens them for poorer people who cannot work from home. This, not the pods, is the story.https://twitter.com/elizashapiro/status/1291006850532605954 …

Options included: zoom from qualified (older) teacher supported, as appropriate to the risk/case, by in-person "counselor" who is either young or otherwise little risk, in outdoor settings and/or with proper ventilation. But that requires resources and prioritizing them!

I worry abotu the gap between medically fragile and higher risk for COVID complications. Poorer kids, and Black children tend to have higher rates of asthma, etc. Less likely to have access to good health care. Their schools have poor physical infrastructure - poor ventilation.

Most colleges won't open for in-person instruction...and those that do will close within weeks.
