"My view is the schools should open. This thing is going away. It will go away like things go away"

19. What is frustrating is that I keep hearing people talk about the risk of the

children themselves getting sick and dying of Covid if they go back to school, but that is only one issue, and probably not even the most important one, since they are less likely to die from it than adults or people with compromised immune systems (which could also be other children).

The other issue is that these children can still contract the virus and even be asymptomatic and still be disease vectors. Which means they go back to their families and transmit the disease to parents, grandparents and anyone else in the community that they come in contact with. If those parents are out in the workplace or society - especially if they are not practicing social distancing and other safety measures - they then become spreaders of the virus and so on.

Most adults cannot seem to comply with the suggestions for preventing the transmission of this virus to others. How on earth can they expect children to do it? It's going to be a disaster.
