Why would you want sickness to spread at schools? This will get kids sick, it will get their teachers sick, kids will take it home to parents and get them sick. What’s the impact to education but also to the wider workforce and productivity?

Pretty sure presenteeism is bad for the economy as well.

It's better to have just one sick, underproductive employee at home than to bring them in to infect everyone so you have a whole workplace filled with sick underproductive employees.
