OFC schools can't operate safely until we have the plague under control.Is a child more likely to get infected with COVID if schools are open? Probably. Is they likely to infect some older person who will die from COVID? No, because the vast majority of children who get COVID do not cough from it (they are asymptomatic).

The USA is the country with the highest incidence of type-2-diabetes and among the highest from heart disease, both of which drastically increase the risk of somebody dying from COVID. Sure, if the Cuomo's ridiculous policy of putting COVID patients into nursing homes was not followed, the number of people dying from COVID would have been lower by a few tens of thousands, but I am afraid that is it.
