The UK now goes the opposite direction, and keeps the schools open, in order to make sure that a good number of people are infected.
The theory is that they can manage the rate of infection this way, and quarantine once needed; get their health system to 95% capacity for a long while; as opposed to having a quarantine period now, only to have the infection rate rise quickly again once the period is over, or if it's seasonal. This way, they'll get to herd immunity faster, once (someone figured) 60% of the population is immune.
It's a bold strategy Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for them.
