"97,000" children have tested positive for COVID in the last 3 weeks...

[BFast55]

Personally - I think sending young kids, like fifth grade and under is going to be damaging to the psyches having to follow the new rules.

How so? If that is true, then the new ordinances we have in society outside of schools is surely damaging their psyches as well. Thoughts?

[NitrogenWidget]

Even with boosting the numbers that still puts them at 2 children across the entire US requiring admission to the ICU. One child a week in a nation of 330 million people and that is used as justification to not open schools. That is like saying we should make it illegal to go outside so that nobody gets struck by lightening.

so basically peanuts are more dangerous to kids than covid.

I don't remember seeing any articles about children and the virus before schools were opening. Surely it's not a coincidence.

Just thinking about school makes them more susceptible...

My biggest concern for my kid going into third grade is that another kid is going to struggle and she is going to help them and then she will get reprimanded for breaking social distancing guidelines at the school. They won't be able to share things with other students. The masks are going to be a constant issue for young kids as well - taking them off, getting them dirty, wanting to wear the cool one from home that is now dirty and not wanting to wear an available disposable one, etc. They have to eat three feet from one another. Desks too. I would rather her have a weird year doing the cyber school option we have than have to learn these new rules that contradict the values I have been raising her on.

These things haven't been an issue - the neighborhood kids have been playing as normal, her soccer team doesn't have to play with social distancing or a mask, if we are out with masks on and she needs a break, she takes a break.

I see. Good points. Honestly the mask rule for kids is dumb, hence in most cities why the minimum age for masks is 11.

"Analysis of pediatric COVID-19 hospitalization data from 14 states found that although the cumulative rate of COVID-19–associated hospitalization among children (8.0 per 100,000 population) is low compared with that in adults (164.5), one in three hospitalized children was admitted to an intensive care unit."



Theyre making a news story about the "national pandemic" because 8 children across the entire fuking country had to go to the hospital. 8. And only 2-3 in the ICU.

The level of manipulation and outright propaganda by MSM is staggering. You dont even have to go on some chitty qanon twitter feed, you can literally go to the CDC website and see the actual data and see the level of manipulation the MSM is propagating.

You think you’re smart yet can’t even comprehend the article you’re reading. It’s 8 hospitalizations per 100k of the population so far, not from those that have the virus. I assure you there are not Just 8 children hospitalized from Covid at the moment. The stupidity is staggering no wonder people believe the bs that they do. Sit out for a while until you level up your reading skills srs.

All legit concerns. From someone who taught in Middle school, it's going to be a mess combining 100's of kids from all different backgrounds. Parents who think it's a shame, parents who are over protective.... and teachers who are hysterical ( i.e. most female teachers ).

And once the news gets a hold of some of the crazy stories that will come out, cause EVERY kid is ready w/ that cell phone to video. Boom. back to virtual "learning"

James Francis...is it Daulton perhaps?

[meanstringbean]

Majority of Americans cant have their kid home and work at the same time. At risk kids (you know, inner city ones that were all the rage to talk about helping a few weeks ago) often get their healthiest meals at school, come from broken homes, dont have computer/internet access, have abusive or absent parents, etc. there is zero risk to schools opening for them, but all the risk in the world for taking basically a year off.


And the pathetic thing is the same group that says no school are also screaming BLM. The majority of these people are parrots, useful idiots to their party who are just saying what looks popular online. The leadership are more insidious - they are knowingly sacrificing lives for political gain.

Oh and the quarantine spread from one person being positive is going to be a complete disaster. Our district always has a cyber option but now are doing virtual learning before potentially returning to school in I think it is November. I don't even want to take the chance becuase I know everything is going to change and be a cluster and I actually feel bad for the educators having to make these decisions.

Luckily my ex is afraid of the virus so it was easy to talk her into the cyber option

If schools could just be in session for 2 weeks, people will calm down, once they see that the world doesn't end.

The ones listening to politicians and not scientists are the Trump cult, but nice projection.

[Fishman15]

How many have died?

How many even got sick or had a symptom? What about confirmed cases? Were the cases confirmed or was there just a child somewhere in someone's contact tracking so it was just assumed a child tested positive?

The mortality rate for children is very, very low.

The concern is that theyll spread it to their parents, who will then go to work and share it with their coworkers, who will then hit up the brothels and share it with miscers' moms.

There's absolutely zero data that children are spreading it to adults...

Data is data. The goal of an epidemiologist is to stop or slow spread of a virus. It's NOT to weigh the risk and benefits with the education of kids, grow the economy, mental health, etc. Leaders are supposed to take advice from everyone - doctors, economists, business owners, etc. Not just hand the keys over to one individual since no one is all knowing.


If we listened solely to clowns like Fauci we would have economic disaster, rioting in the streets, mass unemployment (oh wait). All to stop the spread of a disease with a 99.996% survival rate? Come on man, think for yourself.

Watch the end




Expert pediatricians unanimously agree to send their kids to school shocking MSNBC.

Just lol at trusting people who had no problem with massive protests cause it went with their agenda

BINGO.

Love this post. Been saying this for years - I love when libs

[Fishman15]

97,000 children, ok so 8 children across the entire united states required hospitalization in the last 3 weeks. I think the hospitals can manage. The news is so fuking overboard with the hysteria. I never seen them bend reality to this level before.

The stakes have never been higher. Expect anything and everything and whatever happens is not by accident at this point...

[JoshSP1985]

What does it matter if kids test positive?

This is a highly contagious virus. Thankfully it's pretty weak and less lethal to children than the common flu.

It is the kids of CNN zombie parents are terrified and think if they go outside they're going to die (srs).

It's ****ing these kids up and returning to school even with some restrictions will be helpful to them from a mental health standpoint.

LMFAO!! He just couldn't stay away could he lol..

The countries that listened to their epidemiologists are the ones that have the virus under control. They were able to open schools safely, have low unemployment, and don't have civil unrest. The ones who have politicians that tried playing it off are the ones who are suffering the most now. It is mind boggling to think there is an entire profession dedicated to the study of pandemics and you brush them off as clowns because it would hurt your dear leader politically to change your stance. If Trump had just handed the reigns to Fauci like any other President would have done during this crisis he would have his re-election in the bag ironically.
