So I have to assume based on you comment that you don't believe any child should be allowed to go in the water (or any pool). Because my guess is (and I could be wrong), that more children die from drowning than COVID-19.
So if one child could die.... we need to banish that in the school system.
If a child died playing on the playground... we can't open schools. If I child died because he ate something he was allergic to at lunch... we can't open schools.
Am I following you correctly?
The number of drowning deaths for kids in Florida actually doubled once the Coronavirus stay at home orders went into place. Most of the drownings appear to be taking place in pools.
