COVID-19 Outbreak Information Updates (Reboot) [over 150.000,000 US cases (est.), 6,422,520 US hospitilizations, 1,148,691 US deaths.]

Yeah I think there’s some perspective missing from that piece. For example it doesn’t really account for risk to the adults in schools. I would think that any objective summary would include that discussion - a lot of teachers died in states that tried to maximize in-person learning. Of course tracing the infection to school is probably impossible from a data standpoint but it’s a meaningful part of the issue.

The piece also continues what I think it the terrible societal trend, specifically on this topic, of categorizing things based on political positions. Public health should never be political. Nor should the welfare and education of children. But, that article, and many others like it treat all topics as political and a question of which political group gets blame/credit. Things like education, child welfare, and public health shouldn't be a political football game where we keep score.
