Where is the evidence that supports closing schools?
Simply saying children are 'super spreaders' just doesn't cut it. Statistically while children are capable of contracting the virus, they are the least at risk. They are also the lowest group to actually be infected so the risk of them spreading is also small. Teachers should be adult enough to be able to practice basic hygiene to protect themselves.
If parents wish to keep their kids home then that's ok but keeping schools open means education continues for the children and those parents who work in critical services can continue going to work.
Some people need to stop and start looking outside their own bubble.
