Why would you want sickness to spread at schools? This will get kids sick, it will get their teachers sick, kids will take it home to parents and get them sick. What’s the impact to education but also to the wider workforce and productivity?

    You know in other, arguably more civilized countries, it is the norm to stay home, or at the very least wear a mask, when sick even with a “little cold” right? The “fuck it they can go to school” attitude is not universal, and these other countries don’t suffer from it.

    Going to work sick or sending sick kids to school has always been stupid. It spreads disease, which kids take home and then infect parents, who go to work and spread it further. Having a cold greatly reduced learning and workplace efficiency.

    Perhaps we should try something different, no?
