Back in April, I “predicted” we’d see 150 to 200 thousand deaths from COVID-19 in the US. As we are now in that range, I’m hoping I was right and we don't go past the 200,000, but of course this is so far outside my expertise that my guess means little. But here we are and school openings approach. Some seem deadly afraid of school openings and some seem deadly afraid of schools not opening. (I'm primarily thinking here about K-12, but much of what I say applies to colleges as well—and of course, high school juniors and seniors are more like college freshman than kindergarteners in terms of COVID-19 transmission and symptoms.)
