**Doctors have also found some cases in which children previously infected with COVID-19 have developed a rare condition called multisystem inflammatory syndrome.
You are correct, that statement is false BUT the risk to ages 1-18 school age is relatively low compared to the rest of the age groups. Risk to Risk, which is worse?
It's going to boil down to counties and school districts what they decide to do. Not opening schools up is a mistake in most low risk areas, but school should be available as alternative online learning as well. Omaha is not the same as Miami, so each district needs to decide what to do.
Nobody has any answers, what this virus does long term or short term. We don't even know if you can be a silent carrier for a long time.... we know about the moon much more than this virus.
Vaccines will be here soon, my guess election time November.
