Speaking of retrospectives, it seems COVID-19 infection in kids increases their risk of kidney problems.

Not sure how this is relevant to an article about school closures, which were successful in preventing perhaps 0.00001% of children from eventually becoming infected with COVID.

Plus, repeat covid infections don't make things worse... right?

Oh, wait... repeat covid infections are much worse and even damage T cells similar to HIV.

Plus 1 in 5 covid infections result in long covid.

Your numbers and etiology are complete nonsense, and again I'm not sure how they're relevant to the question of school closures, unless you believe schools (and I would think, to be consistent, all of public life itself?) should be shut down indefinitely to prevent COVID infections?

Are you really this dense or do you just enjoy arguing about COVID? The school closures were in response to COVID, you suitcase.

Is it your belief that the school closures were successful in mitigating a significant portion of the (grossly exaggerated) harms being enumerated in this thread?
