I overlooked this one, but haven't we started reopening businesses in phases already while children are currently in summer vacation? The parents who have to care for them manage it somehow I assume. Possibly one of the parents has quit work and subsidizing income via unemployment, but not sure. In any case, I haven't kept up with the news regarding phased reopening so I can now see the two potential sides of the argument.

Still, not requiring children to wear masks is simply irresponsible. Not that you were debating this, but I've updated my overall perspective in this post. Based on other points to be seen, I'm open to persuasion/newer consistent perspectives.

A lot of employers are offering partial pay for workers who don't have childcare because daycraes were closed and schools weren't open. 

From talking to folks, now would be a good time to open a daycare. It seems lots shut down during the pandemic and more are opening but not accepting new clients/reducing the numbers of kids they accept.
