I don't see it as counter-intuitive, but even if it is - so what? You don't get to disregard data because it doesn't fit the narrative you'd already contrived.
If there's no evidence that shutting down schools slows the spread, why shut down schools? "Abundance of caution" in the face of all available evidence simply doesn't fly.

well you shut down the schools because the health officials are saying you shouldnt have groups of over 10 people.
any class has that, right?
i havent seen any evidence that a child wont be as likely to give it or receive it from an adult. you got a link to that?
