Since 3/31/20 I've been tracking world wide cases of Covid, deaths, and from this web site the number of kids under 18 deaths. Provisional COVID-19 Deaths: Focus on Ages 0-18 Years | Data | Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
In 2019, 73 million Americans - about 1 in 5 - were under age 18.

Total deaths as percent of 73 million kids : 0.0025%
So why were the schools closed?
Too many of the nation’s students – in particular, the most vulnerable – were forced to stay home for more than a year, causing tremendous losses in learning, from which they may never recover.
Yet, Biden has a different take on how this all went down – one in direct conflict with reality.
The same day the president visited the school, the White House released a statement, claiming in part:
"Today, thanks to the President’s swift actions and historic investments, every school in America is open safely for in-person instruction. Since Day One, President Biden has worked to help every school open safely for in-person instruction, accelerate academic achievement, and build communities where all students feel they belong.”
Biden must really think parents are dumb.
Anyone who paid attention in early 2021 knows Biden’s actions were hardly “swift.”
His goal to fully open schools within his first 100 days quickly fizzled, and it became clear that the teachers unions who helped get him elected played an outsized role in dictating health and policy guidelines that kept schools shuttered far longer than necessary.
Rewriting history: Teachers unions want parents to forget what happened during COVID. Don’t let them.
As a consequence of the teachers' unions pushing ignorantly school closings...(remember Teachers could wear masks right"???) and many kids didn't die from Covid.

After COVID school shutdowns, parents have learned an important lesson: They have power
The parental rights movement in education is stronger than ever, and parents are taking action when they don't like what schools are doing.
