With covid, it's always a mistake to look at levels, because of data quality issues. Looking at trends is safer, because the (bad) quality isn't getting worse/better. US deaths have been declining since August. That's good news.

Urban schools continue to fail and implode. More and more places have realized that the only solution is to let the kids go elsewhere. That trend seems stronger than ever.

Boosters are not the answer. They lose potency too quickly. We need better vax. Please consider this topic more often.

So little harm has come from schools (lost school days from illness has far less costs than NPIs.) Improving air quality has the fewest downsides, even if the upside isn't awesome.
