"Because children easily spread infections, keeping them out of school helps control contagion in the community. The benefits of sending kids home, however, have to be weighed against social disruption, the CDC [Centers for Disease Control] said."
Someone among the scare campaign directors blinked. The realization has dawned that the CDC and government plans will cause massive societal problems.
The flu campaign plans included closing of schools at the first sign of infection, closing of businesses for the same reason, screening people off planes, etc. Someone realized that this scenario was a social catastrophe in the making. Shutting down society is clearly not in the cryptocracy's interest and it is especially too steep a price to pay to condition the public to accept inoculations without resistance.
And so, the planners and the CDC backed off. "They [CDC] reversed course and urged schools to remain open." They now recommend that schools only be closed if there are many infected students. The decision to close will not be made by the affected school officials, but by authorities higher up in the command structure who better know what the CDC wants to do.

The WSJ article has an interesting quote: "'If the virus does not increase in its severity, we are unlikely to recommend widespread or prolonged school closures,' said Thomas Farley, current New York City health commissioner..."
There is a pretty good chance that Farley is among the cognizzati for the scare campaign. When he makes a public statement that includes speculation that the virus will not morph into something more serious, you can be sure that the central planners of the campaign are thinking about not pulling the increased severity trigger.
We will see. But it is apparent that the central directors are re-thinking the campaign they so carefully planned. Cooler heads may have told them that they had gone too far.
