School reopening....

11. There are so many analogies that can be drawn in this situation

that I sat for a long time going through a number of them. Stating any of them makes one sound like a morbid creep who is employing How About-ism. Suffice to say that there are many far less dangerous situations that parents would not dream of sending their child into.

But lets look at a simple case. Suppose in that classroom of 12 students, just one showed up with Covid. And only infected 2 other students. And, at the end of the 2-day period, there would be one kid with Covid. Next week, 3 sick kids show up in that classroom and infect another 4 kids (2 each for the newly infected, we give the original kid a pass). Next week, those kids show up and infect another 2 each. Uh-oh, ran out of kids to infect. In a couple of weeks, any room where a kid with Covid showed up, we probably have close to full infection.

If this is a middle or high school, each of these kids gets to go mingle with another group after 45 minutes. And another. And another. And another.

By the end of a few weeks, there will be close to full involvement of the students. Who will bring it home to mom, dad, sis, bro, Granny and Grampy.

Sounds like a recipe only Putin could love.
