How though? Isn't onus on the ones making the original claim. Original claim was, "schools need to be shut down because they will increase covid spread"

Person making the claim needs to comeup with "the evidence" not the other way around.

Anyone with children will tell you that school is a major disease vector. It's common sense and basic medical knowledge. Putting a bunch of people together spreads disease, especially when they're a bunch of children with dubious hygiene habits.

> It's common sense

So when should schools be opened according to this?

[solosoyokaze]

When children can get vaccinated.

[dominotw]

and presumably teachers and staff too.

Hope this administration follows common sense.

[solosoyokaze]

I agree, everyone should get vaccinated before they get into large groups.

EDIT: would love to know why anyone would downvote this. Seems uncontroversial to people who aren't anti-vax.

The burden to speak persuasively is born from the passion to persuade.
