Part of the problem here though is that most of the “real harm” came from the virus itself, not the policy response. Places that rushed to reopen schools didn’t have better outcomes.

If you compare deaths/capita of wealthy developed countries, the more restrictive countries had less deaths than the less restrictive. There was definitely "real harm" that came from policy.

I think that's not entirely true. Learning loss is a real issue.

Learning loss is a real issue. It’s also just as bad in the places that reopened sooner.
