Crazy idea here... all schools go to 100% online instruction until a vaccine is readily available or Covid-19 has all but disappeared on its own.
In the meantime, the government steps forward.
With children grades 8 and under, be willing to pay the lower of the two salaries so one parent can stay home. In a single parent household, pay the salary of the earner. If kids have special needs regardless of age, pay a salary so one parent stays home.

Yes. The only way this works is if we institute a UBI. They should have done that from the get go, but no.
