@venelinmihaylov2318 Boredom is the least of this child's concerns. The brain has a window when it is most receptive to certain types of education and socialisation. The cure may be devastating given the infinitesimal risk to the child.

@M1nus_p The risk to children is statistically negligible. Almost zero. They were FAR more likely to die from other things in or on their way to school, but no parent is getting hysterical about those risks. Also, if all these families lose their homes because they can't afford rent because they have to stay home and care for kids off school, that's significant too. That said, the danger to adults from asymptomatic children is not at all inconsequential, but there's a balance to be struck. I think that younger teachers should be in, and schools opening on a limited, distanced syllabus.
