Greater than what? I’m open to listening to alternative view points, but this guy needs to address why it’s a greater health risk to leave kids at home.

A reporter from LA stated that around 40,000 high school students (mostly minorities) didn't even log in one time for their virtual classes during the spring.

You're forcing parents to choose between their jobs and kids by making kids stay at home. That in and of itself is devasting for families.

Single moms from predominantly minority poorer communities now have their kids at home, they probably don't even have the equipment to do school from home and them being home is a distraction.

It's truly not hard to think why kids staying home would be a bad thing.

Your also depriving kids of social interaction something that's very key in their development as they grow.

He may know things you don't. Ya know, since he's a top ranking government official. I.e., that it's mostly a crock of shite and that there are very real, very serious consequences- much more serious than DaRona- coming down the pipe for us if we keep doing things like keeping kids out of school and from having truly vital, life-shaping socialization with other human beings.

He is a representative for the federal government, what in the year 2020 makes his viewpoint alternate? I thought Uncle Sam knows it all? Alternate my arse: The whole reason we've gotten into this mess is because we worshipped at the altar of the federal government's viewpoint.

Do not question, just follow the herd.

The question is no longer, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."

Nowadays it's "Ask not what you can do for your country, but what your country can do for you?"
