When absences go up, and temp checks start screening out students, it's going to be obvious COVID is spreading.
Schools will still close.
This whole, "if we don't know, it won't matter" is monumentally stupid.

This is directly from trump's foolishness about "if you don't test, you don't have cases."

The cases will still be out there, dummies, and your kids might get it and bring it home to you.

Stupider by the minute.

That took the virus seriously from the outset and didn't play into these conspiracy theories.
