The adviser argued that keeping the schools closed would be a “setback to a true economic recovery.”

One place we Americans MIGHT have sought that is the past was in a fully functioning Administration led by a capable and empathetic President. Plainly Larry knows this is not the Administration nor the President to supply that. His wish for those qualities to emerge is thrown out into the thin air of a corrupt, unimaginative, inefficient, lazy and incompetent White House, which seems to believe if they just say it enough times COVID19 will disappear.
