david satcher and dr. question. >> do you send our kids to school given the current number and treads and what is your reasoning. >> if we can show hands, raise your hand if you would send your kids to school right now. interesting. yeah, let's see. dr. koplan, you didn't raise your hand, why? >> you didn't give me any other options. i don't think it's as easy as what you do right now. where you live, what the school direct is doing. and what stips that i have taken to safeguard the children, staff and teachers there, and is why i was reluck -- reluctant -- >> in debates, it's more complex than that. and dr. besser, you did raise your hand. what is the calculation for you? what should parents look at in trying to decide? >> my kids are older. they are in their 20s. they are not in school. it's more of a mental exercise. but i'm a pediatrician and i know the critical importance of kids being in school learning. i happen to live in a community that is very well off. that has resources that is able to adapt t
