“Obviously, remote learning has begun already. … We are doing this to make sure that all the standards we’ve set can be achieved,” de Blasio said during a news conference. “We have to have social distancing throughout schools, cleaning constantly, face coverings on students and adults alike.”

The entire shutting down of schools throughout the entire Covid thingy has been absolutely unwarranted, for children have an almost ZERO chance of getting or transmitting the disease.
