good answer. (edit: i wasn't being facetious, i agreed with your comment.) and for anyone complaining about "wasting time" on this issue of terminology, i'd point them to the millions of hours lost due to tabs vs. spaces debates. it's not a waste of time, you just don't recognize it as important. defer to those who do.

The problem is that the "public health consequences of having the schools closed on the kids" have not been defined, yet alone measured, and thus we have no basis for comparison against the fairly well-established risks of opening schools. The director is making a political statement based on hunches rather than evaluating risks based on science.

what of those who don't quarantine, get covid, and pass the virus on to their elderly relatives? would you make the same trade?

bit of a difference between educating people about nazism vs. giving actual neo-nazis a space to use for communication and recruitment.

I agree. There's already so much content and trash on Youtube that it will be a huge investment to make it worthwhile, assuming you are lucky. Creating structured, high-quality course content in a field not covered well by existing courses on sites like teachable and udemy will still be hard work, but with a higher chance of success.

Could police sketch artists use this as a tool?

the comment was referring to failure in execution, not necessarily failure in choosing the correct approach. it's hard to argue that sweden shouldn't have been more careful with its elderly and vulnerable, even if going for herd immunity.

on the other hand many places recorded record low injuries and fatalities from car crashes due to quarantine. i wonder how it balances out in the end.

bad analogy. trump has far, far greater power than any talk show host and is advocating violence against americans.
