Again no one under the age of 29 has died in JoCo even though the 20-29 age group has the most cases .
I don't see any data that says don't open schools.
You know, there may actually be a point in all of this where getting the virus doesn't mean the world will end.
I mean pre-covid if a child got say pneumonia you would be concerned but the fear of death would be rather remote even though it has killed more kids than Covid.
By the same token if an elderly person or even someone in their 60's got pneumonia you would be very worried.
But we didn't shut down schools in either case and the data doesn't show we need to now.

Apparently they are seeing significant rising cases.

Health officials in Johnson County, Kansas, shared guidance Tuesday for reopening schools with the superintendents of the county's six school districts.
The Health Department said the county is in the Red Zone for COVID-19. In the last 14 days, the average number of new cases has increased. The percentage of positive cases has also gone up.
