Show me data that having had covid makes having covid again this year no big deal.
The current variants evade immunity from prior variants and from vaccines.

Truly, I wish some of you had taken a research methods class at some point. Some of you are just so much less than I'd expect from what is generally an educated message board.

+100

Don't go on PubMed if you don't know how to read studies.

Vomit. Truly, I wish you would get off your pretentious high horse. Offer something valuable to the conversation of keep your mouth shut.

Translation: any peer reviewed journal article that I might link to would show that having COVID is potentially a big deal, so I'm going to just insult you instead of linking to anything.

I want my kids masking if there's lots of covid in the class. And I don't want them going to school if they have covid. But if they don't have covid, I want them at school. I don't have any problem with the asymptomatic testing — or with keeping school open despite lots of cases.

NP. You will always, always be free to mask your kid. I don't want my kid to be forced to mask for ten days every couple of weeks because another kid in the class tested positive. That leads to nearly permanent masking, and it will continue indefinitely.

There is a reason the NFL stopped asymptomatic testing, as another PP above explained: they found very little evidence of asymptomatic transmission, and it was a far bigger problem for people to take a negative test as carte blanche to come in. Keep your kid home if they have symptoms. Don't pull a healthy kid out of school because of a random positive test.

We opted out of testing at the beginning of the year.

This. It's a de facto masking policy because the clock starts over for masking for 10 days with each new asymptomatic positive case. The masking doesn't even help because my kid's class has been masking for over a month and there are still new cases. Who are these crazy parents who haven't opted out of asymptomatic testing???

I haven’t opted my kids out. If they have covid, I want to know so I can keep them home.

You can test your asymptomatic child at home. Just don't report it and force the whole class to mask up for 10 days when it's ineffective anyway.

there were two posts, potentially by the same person, reflecting a lack of comprehension on research methods:

1. "they couldn't have drawn blood from all DC kids so these numbers are suspect"
2. "prove that this thing that isn't happening at present won't happen in the future"



In the first case, the poster clearly has so understanding of sampling. Here's the actual CDC webpage so you can see what they do: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/commercial-lab-surveys.html I have every confidence that you will read that and digest it.

In the second case, you can't prove a negative, particularly a negative in the future. Uh, to find a source to explain this logical fallacy......ok wikipedia it is:

oh, I'll add the person who said that an overall percentage is wrong because their individual case.

e.g., "the average salary is $80K but I make $200K so that $80K can't be correct."

Point being? To belittle people? Please. And I wasn’t the person who posted previously.

Right. I do this for a living in another biomedical field, condescending lady. Upthread, and all over this board, denialists, perhaps yourself, are constantly demanding data to support any sky is blue statement, if sky being blue gets in the way of your alternative facts.

The statement 'f you had Covid already, it is no big deal.' is dangerous bunk.

First of all, those two were not by the same poster.
Secondly, you've either misunderstood, or willfully misrepresented what the 2nd poster wrote.
Thirdly, you are perpetually shifting any scientific discussion to ad hominem nonsense where you claim you're the only person qualified to understand science when your posts are just intellectually dishonest science bullying. Your real-life job must suck.

Ha ha go ahead. Let’s see the article that 1) shows that covid is that much worse than other childhood illnesses and 2) provides empirical support for whatever interventions you think necessary; and 3) measures the costs and benefits of those interventions accurately.

please do!!!

so is all of Europe bunk? please explain.

as long as we’re asserting the right to make “sky blue” assertion unsupported by evidence, I’m make my own:

- closing school for children is extremely bad and shouldn’t happen
- masking kids inteferes with social development. kids (and all people) need to see faces.
- huge changes to how society operates are only justified in severe, present danger and should be temporary
- kids have always and will always get sick in school. we have never disrupted school due to this.

Oh yes I want to play the "bad research methods game"!

--Show me the data that every single mitigation method imposed on children has no long-term consequences through adulthood.
--Show me the data about how repeated quarantines has no impact on children's job market prospects when they first enter the labor market.
--Show me the data where young children who only saw masked adults outside of their household had no developmental issues ever in their lives.

Since belittling people makes you sad, do you also feel sad about the person that suggested that everyone who was not taking covid as seriously as themselves "dumb"? How about the person that said that people don't care about their children? Or was that you?

NP. Well, there is research starting to come out that reinfections indeed tend to be milder:

Not that that's exactly surprising for a respiratory virus.
