Just my two cents but if schools are closing because some threshold level of community transmission has been reached the correct response is not "we should have decided to keep schools open no matter what" it is "we should have closed other things so schools could stay open."
(this tweet brought to you by yet another morning yelling at The Daily podcast)
Yes, be mad at the mayor for the fact that schools are closing while bars and restaurants are not. But not because it's UNFAIR that bars and restaurants can stay open and schools can't, but because bars and restaurants staying open is WHY schools had to close.
I don't know if it's possible to keep transmission within schools low enough to stop the pandemic from worsening if community transmission otherwise is very low but I do know that the US isn't actually doing that second part so we can't really find out here.
