The new debate in pandemicpalooza revolves around reopening schools. On one side, you have parents, teachers, and data. On the other side, you have CNN, panic porn, and teachers' unions that have made it clear they don't care about students or parents. We're constantly told we need to listen to the experts.

SPOILER: I'm not a parent. But my sister is, as are her neighbors and as are her friends. They all agreed to a fifteen-day shutdown to flatten the curve over a hundred days ago.

They are also over the panic porn; ironically enough, unlike the people who make decisions about reopening schools, they don't benefit from from the panic porn. Go figure.

Obviously adjustments need to be made in schools to adapt to this *sigh* "new normal." But they need to open in the fall. If parents are worried about their children, they should be able to opt out and get a tax credit for doing so. Teachers unwilling to even entertain the idea of reopening can get other jobs.
