That we should have a virtual option. Seems pretty clear. |

Here's a report from BMJ regarding delta and hospitalizations. Regarding kids: "Are more children becoming ill? Steve Turner, Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health registrar and consultant paediatrician at Royal Aberdeen Children’s hospital, said, “As it stands there are very few children in hospital in Scotland and across the whole of the UK due to covid. We’re not seeing any evidence of an increase in paediatric admissions with covid. A very small number of admissions who test positive for covid is what we’d expect. “Our experience over the last 15 months is that many children who test positive have come into hospital for something else, like broken bones. At the moment the situation in the UK is stable. The number of children in hospital with covid remains very low.” https://www.bmj.com/content/373/bmj.n1513 |
Why? |
Ok so what is your plan for quarantined students? |
It specifically says secondary schools, ie: teenagers, by the way. Teenagers in the US are eligible for the vaccines. They are not in the UK. |
Good catch! |
Hi non-sequiter. Is this you not engaging with the research again? |
“Latest data from the Office for National Statistics for the week to 29 May show that numbers of cases of covid-19 have been rising fastest in schoolchildren in years 7 to 11.3 Data from Public Health England show that the number of outbreaks involving variants managed by health protection teams in educational settings have been rising for some weeks and trebled in the last two weeks of May.4 In the week to 1 June health protection teams managed more outbreaks in educational settings than in any other defined setting, and the vast majority of outbreaks involved the delta variant”. But again what is the plan with quarantined students. Trying to get back on topic. |
Isn’t the point of this thread lol? |
| so no, you aren't going to engage with the research. |
Note that "years 7 to 11.3" doesn't mean ages 7 to 11. Those are the school grades. ""school Year 7 to school Year 11" includes those children in secondary school" https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/bulletins/coronaviruscovid19infectionsurveypilot/4june2021#age-analysis-of-the-number-of-people-who-had-covid-19 |
I’m not even the original person that you were arguing with, but I did post the quote about 7-11 year old children from the article and asked to get back on topic. Alas, I’ve quickly realized this is a pointless discussion. |
| That's middle and high school. |
Gotcha just noticed that. Either way, I’m still not sure of the point of your argument. You two can continue now. |
