specifically primary and secondary school, although university is an issue as well
i put this in a comment but:
i think the school issue is difficult. if you go back to school, you will have massive increases in cases and deaths. if you go online only, you put enormous pressure on parents - schools are responsible for feeding many children and often act as daycare. if you do a “hybrid” approach you’ll get the worst of both worlds, except it’ll likely be primarily lower-income children going to school and getting sick, plus more pressure on teachers.
My grade school teacher SO has been in meetings planning the specifics of what school opening will look like at the sites she works at and I hope everybody knows we're gonna lose parents, teachers, and kids. They have nowhere near the resources needed to keep their classrooms and materials disinfected to a safe level, the kids don't have the discipline to distance and follow sanitary rules, and there are teachers on staff that think everyone is worrying too much lol. On an unrelated note does anybody have a good source on proper N95 masks in any sort of quantity? The district is only looking at distributing debris masks and maybe cloth ones love this place.
