55,000 covid deaths in Canada. That’s 13,750/year. 1-in-2,780 people in Canada per year die of covid (or with covid). Ya, closing schools over this is a really tough decision.
And yes, the ridiculously stupid car accident analogy is fitting to mock you with.

"After adjusting, earlier and stricter school ... and workplace closures ... were associated with lower Covid-19 mortality rates." https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12889-022-13546-6

Close schools to mitigate the spread of a global pandemic, and
Close schools because so many people die on the way to them
