BUT: schools and daycare centers stay open!
This is evidence-based leadership during a crisis.

If the Nobel is becoming less prestigious that is fine with me. Economics can do without anointed saints whose word shall henceforth be regarded as The Truth, but it is still a wonderful opportunity to market great social science research to the public.

- Learning at home will not work for many kids.
