Cuomo comes out yesterday and says "yeah, closing schools was probably a mistake based on the data we have available...."
I mean, nevermind the fact that you had evidence of that before you did it - you STILL won't re-open 'em because of the optics involved.
And yeah, it's easy to just shout about carriers and disease vectors and blah blah blah but again, you have to ignore the evidence that's showing that children to adult exposure is extremely rare, as are instances of children to children transfer. There's data here - friggen use it.

this is dumb to me.
closing schools put those kids with the higher risk adults ONCE, if they went to school every day they would be putting them at risk every day.
and cuomo also said in that same interview that the best thing he did was shut everything down immediately.
they all talk out both sides of their mouth
