Huh? Infectious disease experts are experts in infectious diseases, not in education or child psychology or even public health.


Precisely. Infectious disease experts are the experts on the dangers from Covid and they recognize that the dangers to children are relatively low. Obviously DL is subpar for the education and psychological well being of children. It is only proper when the dangers from the infectious disease have to outweigh education and psychological well being. If any group would argue in favor of keeping schools closed, it would be the infectious disease experts, not those primarily concerned about children's education or psychological health.


Here's the 6,453,897th post on this forum since June stating that children live in families and communities with people whose risks are higher.


And that's why their rights to a proper education and socialization should be completely disregarded? Even though data keeps mounting that shows that kids and schools are not superspreaders, i.e. not drivers of community spread? And even though the harmful effects of closed schools have been widely documented? We have an ethical decision to make, and most countries have come to the conclusion that kids have rights, too, and schools need to open despite the pandemic.

Here is a new article that looks at the actual evidence:

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/10/schools-arent-superspreaders/616669/


Totally agree! A lot of elderly people will die but that's okay because daycare is an American right! MAGA


You have absolutely zero evidence that opening schools will cause a lot of elderly people to die. All evidence points to schools NOT causing increased community spread.


Oh, and stop politicizing this. It's the Trumpian way to make evidence-free claims and ignore data that don't fit your narrative, so MAGA right back at you.

The evidence suggests that opening schools is responsible for up tick in a community spread in Europe, but why let facts and safety get in the way of one's day care.

The same people who claimed that masks were unnecessary early on and later claimed that the virus wasn't airbone are no claiming it's safe to go back to school and you believe them?

No, it doesn't. What's your source? Because that is not at all what is being said by the experts over here. I am in Europe right now following the situation closely, as my kid is in school here. YOU are the one who doesn't want to have facts get in the way of their argument. Unlike you, people over here also understand that this isn't primarily about daycare (although nobody here thinks that school doesn't need to provide that as well at the elementary level). They know closing schools harms lots of kids.

I love these crazy posts insisting that everything is fine. These so called experts have said the virus isn't air-borne and that masks didn't help. The bottom line is the current administration is so bent on reopening that they're censoring the scientists so the only information that gets out supports their agenda regardless of the facts.

You can't make that assertion since Destantis keeps the data secret and the data he had published got people fired when he pressured them to falsify it.

Interesting story in the Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/10/10/fluctuations-covid-19-numbers-could-have-lot-do-with-weather/

Perhaps some undulation is inevitable: as caseloads rise, people get cautious, and as they fall, people take more risks, causing caseloads to rise again. But another possibility is that the undulation might not just be about policy, or even personal attitudes, but something as simple, and uncontrollable, as the weather.

Obviously, that echoes Trump’s famous speculation that the virus would “just disappear” over the summer. Just as obviously, it didn’t. But Trump’s theory may not have been wrong so much as insufficiently refined. After all, it was based on a real observation: back in March, colder places were having more outbreaks than warmer ones. In the United States, however, that relationship broke down this summer.

But don’t focus on the temperature; focus on how humans react to it. Because one thing we have learned in seven months is that most spread seems to take place over long exposures in enclosed spaces. So the right question may not be “how cold is it?” but “is this the kind of weather that drives gatherings indoors?”

So you are 10 people agreeing with this false claim that is not supported by any data? Do you get all of your information from social media?

I read the same thing. Really fascinating how asymptomatic spread is having this effect. Things were going gray there until the schools reopened.

Here's the 6,453,897th post on this forum since June stating that children live in families and communities with people whose risks are higher.


And that's why their rights to a proper education and socialization should be completely disregarded? Even though data keeps mounting that shows that kids and schools are not superspreaders, i.e. not drivers of community spread? And even though the harmful effects of closed schools have been widely documented? We have an ethical decision to make, and most countries have come to the conclusion that kids have rights, too, and schools need to open despite the pandemic.

Here is a new article that looks at the actual evidence:

Totally agree! A lot of elderly people will die but that's okay because daycare is an American right! MAGA


You have absolutely zero evidence that opening schools will cause a lot of elderly people to die. All evidence points to schools NOT causing increased community spread.


Oh, and stop politicizing this. It's the Trumpian way to make evidence-free claims and ignore data that don't fit your narrative, so MAGA right back at you.


The evidence suggests that opening schools is responsible for up tick in a community spread in Europe, but why let facts and safety get in the way of one's day care.


No, it doesn't. What's your source? Because that is not at all what is being said by the experts over here. I am in Europe right now following the situation closely, as my kid is in school here. YOU are the one who doesn't want to have facts get in the way of their argument. Unlike you, people over here also understand that this isn't primarily about daycare (although nobody here thinks that school doesn't need to provide that as well at the elementary level). They know closing schools harms lots of kids.


I love these crazy posts insisting that everything is fine. These so called experts have said the virus isn't air-borne and that masks didn't help. The bottom line is the current administration is so bent on reopening that they're censoring the scientists so the only information that gets out supports their agenda regardless of the facts.


Wait -- the Trump administration is censoring scientists in Europe? Wow, you are some tinfoil hat. I guess there are crazies like that on both sides.


I read the same thing. Really fascinating how asymptomatic spread is having this effect. Things were going gray there until the schools reopened.


So then link what you read. That’s pretty standard practice.
