It’s not pedantic; it’s factual and extraordinarily relevant. If we go around spouting obviously false facts, that discredits everything. Instead, get the facts right, which are every bit as damning. The students weren’t quarantined like the populace was in Australia or China, rather, they were locked in their homes by virtue of having everything else locked up. Don’t argue facts that can easily be disprove, disprove their argument with easily proven facts.
