Can’t imagine why this is happening.

Since you know what the problem, because you say the administrators are not being truthful; please tell us how the outbreak happened; and a link to your facts.
Death rate as in the number of people with Covid-19 that die? There is no way to know that. Death rate as a percentage of their entire population? That's true.
I agree with what you're saying except point 2B. We could endure the current circumstances longer, but not forever. Logistically, we can't. We would run out of the things we need to live and effectively fight the virus. In terms of morale, we're already seeing large groups of people actively pushing back against quarantine measures. The difference between this and the London Blitz is that we aren't having bombs dropping in neighborhoods to continually remind people that it is dangerous. If people don't have a regular reminder of the personal danger to themselves, they will not be willing to continue extreme safety measures.
We can slow the spread of the virus, but that does not mean that there is not a number of people who will die. Unless we completely stop the virus, then there are a certain number of people who will die even with current or stricter measures. People are dying now, even in the places with the strictest quarantines. There are a certain number of people who will die, regardless of what we do.
I don't think it's foolish to start talking about reducing mitigation strategies. I think the opposite is true - people need to know that there is a plan and a strategy to rachet things down. If people can see a light at the end of the tunnel, they will push harder to get there. If we have specific goals - i.e. increasing testing to some certain level that we need to hit before re-opening, let's announce those. Then people know what we need and can work toward it and/or push politicians for it.
Agree. We wont know for a year or so whether their strategy was the better option.
Last I checked they're at over a 10% death of confirmed cases and rising. They also have 10 million people.
Would you feel better if 70,000 people were dead from this in the US? That's on pace to smoke the comparison to heart disease that you might be referencing next.
Do you think for Iowa to get back to normal, they might need other places to get to normal in order to conduct business?
Why didn't you ask how New Zealand is doing?
Hard to get any kind of national bearing on the daily death loss in the US. New york added a couple thousand that they said were possible Covid cases just a few days ago, then one or two days ago took back around 150 that they said weren't but were classified as Covid. Now Michigan is doing that. Really had no idea how the death rate is doing nationally now.
The death rate is going to end up being less than half of a percent when this is over with. Hopefully Iowa starts to open back up in a couple of weeks.
That would about be 3 weeks early. Those three weeks would try to catch up on what was unable to be accomplished the last quarter by online, then you would fire into the normal schedule on the 22/23 when it normally would start.
Just guessing, but I think you would go through May. You would use the extra time to make up missed lessons from this past year.
Yeah worldmeter graph is now showing 6,000+ deaths for 4/14 which is a huge spike from any days around it or in general. It's also hard to track who's reporting their cases/deaths accurately vs. when they were actually confirmed.
That won't happen. I could see some schools (smaller ones maybe) doing graduation ceremonies this summer though.
