> These are not easy decisions, and saying "I would prefer people to pause their lives for 6 months than loose one life" is a completely braindead, extremist way of looking at things.

Based on the data from March it's pretty easy to estimate the effects of reopening things, including school. It's a very easy decision, don't reopen yet.

You're comparing an estimated thousands to tens of thousands dying from schools reopening to at most a few hundred thousand having to pause for 6 months and saying it's not an easy decision...?

Not to mention that most schools would have online programs as an alternative, not hold everyone back so your entire premise is false anyway.

I was reacting to the person saying how easy the decision is.

Whether it is actually safe to let people back in schools, I have not enough data and knowledge to decide. Most likely not.
