To protect the community. Kids spreading COVID to other kids spread it to adults who spread it to vulnerable adults.
The more COVID running around, the more deaths.
Wrong.
It was well known kids were NOT getting covid so then could not spread it.
And clearly the more you have "covid running around" the sooner we would have reached herd immunity levels, and it would have ended, saving over 800,000 lives.
As long as R0 is greater than 1, the longer you let an epidemic continue, the worse it is and the more deaths you will cause.
Time is of the essences.
You need to end epidemics as quickly as possible, as long as R0 is greater than 1.
With covid it was around 2.0.
