However, poor minority children are at greater risk falling behind intellectually, especially those of non English speaking parents/adults... if schools don't open. Keep in mind the nutritional and social benefit as well, for these kids. Wealthier/affluent folks will have no issues getting their kids educated. No child left behind should be our common goal in this pandemic, for they are the future.
There's no doubt the poor, all minorities and immigrants will be exponentially affected by schools not opening. Where is the greater risk? All must be considered.
Nobody gave a rat's behind about minority and low-income children 7 months ago. Why the 180?

Also bars close at 11:00 pm, lie music events have to end by 9 pm.
With this kind of health and safety guidelines we should be out of this pandemic in no time
While that is a reasonable question... the study did not reveal that to be the case as "the" reason. That is an over simplification, but I'm sure it's a contributor. So with that said... there are localities/areas within our country, where the infection rate is less than Germany... so you would agree, that a NO school draconian requirement isn't warranted?
Well, this thread appears to be about TX and Fl. Both states have about two orders of magnitude higher number of daily new cases / population than Germany.
Germany - about 4 new daily cases/million
FL - 500+ new/million
TX - 300+ new/million
Interesting how cases spiked in relation to the Memorial Day holiday. Many tourists and visitors came from the infectious northeast where everything is closed down, to southern states where people are allowed to live their lives. A woman in Florida said she'd never seen so many out of state plates.
Also interesting that 300 labs in Florida falsified their CV19 test results or the people reporting those results lied about them, inflating them tenfold.

Is this about the virus or about the election?
In Miami for Memorial day weekend, everything was shut down and pretty rainy. I'm sure some out of state visitors came, but there was not much to do, even beaches were closed (and you wouldn't want to be on them with all the rain we got that weekend). I remember going to Naples for that weekend, and enjoyed a bar and restaurant.
Now, after Memorial day weekend, shortly after, they lifted many restrictions and the amount of tourists we got through June was unreal. Now it has died down again, maybe because they're afraid or maybe because many things are shut down again.

There were a lot of tags around here from NY, NJ, and other states in that area fourth of July weekend. Wasn't too concerned about it.
