There was NEVER a legitimate reason to close schools since we KNEW at the very start that children were not getting sick and were not spreading illness. We knew it from the start! It's pure evil. Seriously. It's not done because of stupidity or "an over-abundance of caution". It's pure unadulterated evil. It's hard to wrap your brain around really how corrupt government really is at all levels.
Tl;Dr: I don't disagree with you. Here's the problem: if you asked a healthcare professional that in march, they COULDN'T authoritatively tell you that.
<mini rant> But of course, we don't know kids don't spread it because they do. They get it, they spread it, just to a much muuuuch lower degree than the rest of the population (which already only gets this at a rate of 30%). Let me tell you something scarier for your children, if not for you. That "loss of smell from one nostril" isn't from the nostril. Yeah, that's right ... IT'S FUCKING BRAIN DAMAGE. It's no different than if someone shoved an icepick through your eyesocket or bounced a 22 short in your brain and you went "agh, doc, I can't no smell so good no more". Don't freak out but read my rant and understand the situation. I'm not telling you to mask up or force vaccinations or anything, just ... understand.
<rant> Here's something you MAY not know ... (and I apologize if I'm sounding like I'm attacking you, I'm not and I don't even disagree with your sentiment, I just want you to know) ... this chinese herpes bullshit (not the clinical term) HIDES IN YOUR FUCKING BRAIN (yes, just like herpes). It's also an engineered bioweapon with HIV INSERTIONS. I don't have to remind you that HIV is highly mutable and those inserts are one of the reasons it mutates like a game of go but I will. You may not know what an insertion is so let me break off on a tangent here. In order to genetically engineer an organism, you use genetic tools. Those genetic tools are like a key that "unzips" the genetic material at the point where your key is. Then, with the genetic payload you want to express in the genetically modified organism, you attach that payload (that has a matching component to your key) where the key unzipped the genome. You then zip everything back up and your new GM (genetically modified) organism expressed whatever your payload is. Insertions are somewhat hard to find so there aren't a whole lot of these keys. But once you have ONE of these keys, you can put almost ANYTHING in there. I'll repeat that again so it sinks in: ALMOST ANY GENETIC INFORMATION. Yes, that means exactly what you think it means. Think of the most fucked up pathogens you can remember, the worst outbreaks, the hardest to deal with diseases, scifi bullshit you read in some sex-starved fanfic. You can put in all sorts of timing mechanisms in the payload. You can even modify the payload or "activate it" after it's spread throughout the population already as a completely harmless virus. So let me paint a worst-case scenario for you. 30% of the world is infected with a virus that hides in YOUR MOTHERFUCKING BRAIN (and this includes some of your KIDS). Now the chinese activate a lethal component of the virus. We got lucky. Intelligence agencies probably got their hands on this virus, sequenced it and saw that it was exactly what it was ... a nasty version of he flu. You SHOULD have had an over-abundance of caution for this shit. You SHOULD have cut off china and threatened to spew nuclear hellfire on them if they so much as sent out ONE plane from their country until they contained this covid bullshit. And the pure evil wastes of oxygen who let this shit out should be purged from the earth while their names live in granite obelisks for eternity in shame. And the people in governments around the world (including our own) who cooperated with this scamdemic government over-reach and failed to respond proportionally to this bioweapon shouldn't be treated much better.

(this last one says covid doesn't "hide" in the brain and doesn't infect neural tissue but that's because it passes the blood-brain-barrier by leaking through capillaries and blood vessels in your brain that "suddenly burst")
I agree that there was panic and overreaction in March 2020. But the data became very clear very quickly over the next months that children up through young adults were virtually unaffected by the SARS-CoV-2 . They weren't getting sick and therefore were not spreaders. The whole "asymptomatic" spreader scam was a lie. And yet even today schools still make kids distance and wear masks and remote school even though we KNOW through every objective measure available to us that none of these things are remotely necessary to protect public health. We did not "save" the children or anyone else by closing schools and shutting down all school activities.
I repeat, again, In bold letters BRAIN DAMAGE. I'm not telling you to send or not send your kids to school or react in one way or another. But whatever choice you make, you will do it informed. For the record, you should always take anything the cdc says with a bucket of salt and you should keep a skeptical eye even on the mayo clinic but I can assure you they're right on this matter. If you had kids and you were looking at a 1 in 10 chance your kid came back with a 22 short in their skull, you'd take what I'm telling you seriously. This brain damage may be minor and kids are very adaptable anyway (they change half their brain in a couple years during puberty) so the point may be moot but read what I'm providing you and take this information as coming from someone who WOULD give you the choice to send your child to school no matter what.

Don't get mad at what I'm about to tell you.
