You are right....
History will not look kindly on this time at all.
No one actually thinks #Lockdowns are a good thing & certainly none of us want #schools to remain partially open for any longer than necessary @n_plowman .
Lockdowns act purely as an emergency break.....

.....to ⬇️transmission/cases & prevent healthcare systems collapsing.
We all saw what followed the Nov MOCK-DOWN during which schools remained open.
The dogged refusal of some to contemplate MITIGATION WITHIN schools has been part of the problem.

If there is a continued push for full opening WITHOUT effective MITIGATION for an #airborne virus, community transmission will ⬆️ again & another surge will follow.

Every single one of us wants to see schools to fully open again, but the plans must be SAFE & SUSTAINABLE.

Unless we allow known public health measures WITHIN SCHOOLS - more individuals will catch/spread #coronavirus, more ppl will die, more families will lose loved ones, more children & adults will get #LongCovid & more economic harm will follow.

AND of course, schools are more likely to need to “close” again!
