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 …

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.

Again, not saying schools shouldn't do these things. I just really worry about people grabbing "the story" that "school should open for poor kids" and leaving all the needed funding & precautions behind (like we've done with everything else).

Sure it's less common, but there are people without comorbities in their 40s and 50s with COVID in the ICUs at my workplace. Not to mention even "low risk" people's family members. It's not acceptable to make this decision based on statistical risk.
