So 45 out of 100,000 versus 73 out of 100,000. Are you serious? I'm sure glad the other 99,927 did their part.
You spread that across the approximately 60,000,000 under 12 kids in the US and we are talking about 20,000 few Covid infected households. So that would be, what, 30,000 fewer infected parents, and all the people those parents would have spread it too. With an R0 of 2.5 for omicron 20K fewer infected kids via school could pretty quickly mean over 100k fewer infections which means thousands of fewer deaths.
