Physician Explains Why Closing Schools in the Fall Doesn't Agree with the Science

One of the biggest questions during the coronavirus outbreak at the moment is whether or not children will be back in their classrooms this fall. Some fear that it's too risky, that children won't know how to social distance, and that they will spread the virus to one another. But that fear is unwarranted, explained Dr. Scott Atlas on Fox News on Wednesday.

"If you believe in the science, the science says that 99.7 percent of deaths in the U.S. are in people over 15, 99.9 percent are in people over 24," Dr. Atlas, a former Stanford neurology chief, explained.

Also noteworthy is that the hospitalization rate for influenza is much greater than COVID-19 for children, according to the CDC.

So what is this really about?
