Well it hasn't killed anyone under 9 and seems to mostly fuck with people with pre-existing conditions (like being over 70). But yeah I can ask my daughter "why don't you like susie?" and she'll say "because she eats the play-dough".

Honesty? My kid's school used to be expensive with lots of scholarships. We were one of them. All my kid's friends were. And we had two outbreaks of lice, three outbreaks of strep and my kid had a massive case of molluscum for eighteen fucking months.

Now my kid's school is less expensive with almost no scholarships. All my kid's friends left. And we haven't so much as had a stomach flu. I mean, it sucks from a diversity standpoint - we only see the black kid who decided she was a girl at birthday parties now. But from an epidemiological standpoint, go rich white people.
