CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/EDUCATION: “It is a balancing act, but we have to open our schools. We have learned one thing very strongly. Young people are in great shape when it comes to the coronavirus or whatever you want to call it. Young people are very, very, very much in good shape. And without question, they should open their schools, keep ’em safe, practice distancing, wash your hands.
Do masks if you feel it’s necessary in between the children. You gotta do something. Protect the teachers. When it comes to a teacher that’s over a certain age, whether it’s 55 or 60, you make a determination, they shouldn’t come in or they should be very strongly protected.”
