    Yeah, saying that schools shouldn’t have been closed is just silly and shows the ridiculousness of those people. Germany handled Covid not so well and still hasn’t so it should just be ignored

      In many places schools weren’t even really ‘closed’. The number of failures stacked on top of failures is staggering. Nobody who matters will be held to account. Most westerners won’t want to accept it but China’s response was near flawless in comparison. And their economy continued to grow throughout. Albeit at a lesser rate. The west plunged itself into recession which it then reframed it’s way out of and still hasn’t recovered properly.

      They don’t say that. They said the extent of closures was inappropriate for the severity of the pandemic and the role of schools.

      And Germany did quite well during COVID, per capita deaths are far lower than, for example, in the US, UK, Italy, or France.
