I advised a friend who has 3 kids, NOT to send her kids to school.
1) Just because their kids and won't get the virus, they become carriers and WILL bring it home to their parents.
2) Exactly what this article states, what about the school staffs? They're not kids, they're adults and will be susceptible to the virus from the snotty (as in runny noses) kids they have to teach.
This includes teachers, teacher assistants, administrators, staff, crossing guards (if they still exist), bus drivers, cafeteria workers, janitors, coaches, ...

This is a huge support system, that operate schools.

Keep your kids home.
