Next is social distancing. Children will not do it long term. So whatever Suzy has your little Johnny will have.
The size of this particular study discounts a lot of your concerns. That's why it's so important.

They’re still paying property taxes.

The landlords themselves aren’t, they’re charging the young people it in the rent.

That doesn't make it any less risky, though, since I don't see anything stopping those 10 to 19 year olds from being any less gross than before.
Lemme just say that regardless of ages, I find that school aged kids do not seem to be able to keep masks on. Some are better than others, but I know the kids that I work will be hardpressed to keep the masks on.

Science matters. And the science tells us that the schools need to be re-opened. Contrary to the science, the evil Democrats and teachers' unions want to keep the schools closed and punish children to further their political agenda. There is no low the left won't sink to.
They must want to kill all the children!

That's the binary isn't it? You either care or you want to kill people according to the Dems.

No, 100% of the FIVE asked (a statiscally insignificant sample size) agree.

And I'll note the questioner qualified the opening with "But the key is to reopen safely

The death rate in the younger adult population 19-55 is 1 in 10,000---about the same risk as in driving. Are all those Liberal teachers petrified of returning to the classroom staying out of their cars while they're not at work now?

All those Super-Spreaders are heroes providing the herd immunity that will save us old-timers.

What herd immunity?

People claim it exists but with how many people lose antibodies two to three months after the infection. This makes sense with what Kayla Braxton dealt with. The WWE personality got it in March and was sick for just about a month. In late June, early July she tests positive again.

If there is no possibility to build herd immunity, then no vaccine will work, unless we're required periodic boosters.

So what's your solution? Wear masks and social distance for the rest of our lives?

I don't blame them. It would be hard for anyone to go eight hours straight (outside of lunch and maybe water fountain breaks) to keep on a mask.

Kids should not be forced to wear masks.
