1/Re-opening schools before we have the virus under control is immoral and insane. We’re exposing American families to danger for no other reason than to serve the sacred cow of an economy that doesn’t really work for them anyway. #SupportKidsAndTeachers

2/ I realize many parents need their children to go back to school so that they can get back to work, but that’s due to an economic desperation they shouldn’t be experiencing. Every American should receive $2k/mo. for as long as the pandemic lasts, much like every other democracy

Other countries are reopening schools and finding success, most likely the virus will burn itself out by October. news.weill.cornell.edu/news/…

The countries that have opened their schools successfully are countries that had the virus under control. There is no sign that ours will be under control by September or even October.

Is a longterm welfare state really warranted for a virus with a more than 99 percent survival rate?

This doesn’t have to be long term, and wouldn’t have been had we done the right thing at the beginning.

Yes, parents need to work, but what's more important is children need to be educated. We're going to have a gap in education because the children aren't in school.

I am a mom, and telling me my child might have a few months off from learning geography & math is 1000 times less worrisome than telling me she’s going to be in a petri dish of a deadly virus every day,

Who do you think is paying for those extraordinary corporate bailouts to hedge funds and private jet companies etc? This bailout is like the 2008 bailout on steroids: bail out Wall Street, leave Main Street to fend for itself.
