I'm not close enough to the data to know -- so am asking HN -- but why are schools being kept open? Is it because truly there is low risk on transmission that way (and this holds true for new variants too)? Or is this just to avoid the negative drag on worker productivity caused by kids staying home?
In other words - how political is the decision to keep schools open? Should concerned parents still keep their kids home anyways?
(Note - I don't have school-aged kids, so it's a theoretical question for me - but one that many friends are struggling with).
