Your view is completely based in fear, not science. Don't play with kids from other families, don't take your kids to playgrounds. Why do you care if others do?

You might want to brush up on your science.

It's because those kids, if infected, would likely give it to their parents, who might work in essential, public-facing positions, or who might go shopping at the grocery store and spread it, etc. And I might come in contact with them there, even if the only place I go out is the grocery store.

I mean, in addition to giving a sh-- about other human beings, but that's beyond you.

NP. I see you're ignoring all the posts explaining that transmission from kids to others is unlikely. This is the latest science. Transmission is not impossible, but typically children catch it from adults, and they aren't spreading it to others. This is the current science based on data from other countries.

Can you please post your scientific proof link that COVID cannot be passed from child to child? Please. It’s posted here all the time and yet I’ve not found the studies/proof.

Can anyone post the link to the studies that corona isn’t passed from child to child?

Of course not, because it is total BS and anyone with a 9th grade biology education would know that. Contagious is contagious.

Except it’s not total BS. Proven? No. It is still conflicting but it’s not BS. You are one of those ppl who will only believe information that fits your narrative. Just as bad as a Trumper, really. Just the other side of the same coin.

It is the reason some European countries are reopening grade schools. Obviously more study needed but all signs point to children being the opposite of vectors. It’s parents and old ppl that should stay home.

So the children can go to playgrounds without adults?

No the adults can go and stay off the equipment. They don’t want to play on it anyway. Stay away from other adults.

And I’m not saying this is for sure - but it’s promising

You are an idiot. The article you posted for the most part is stating exactly what people in this thread have said. That they can but it’s much less common than adults and that we still don’t know for sure, but it needs to be studied. Work on your reading comprehension.


"Children almost certainly DO transmit COVID-19," Munro, a clinical research fellow in pediatric infectious diseases at University Hospital Southampton, said on Twitter on Thursday, adding: "Growing evidence suggests children are less susceptible to infection, have milder infection, and are infrequently responsible for household transmission”

Smh. Yeah they may not become sickened but they spread the virus. End of story.
We already knew that when it was still in china. Nothing has changed

I disagree completely. Playgrounds should be among the last to reopen. Little kids cannot keep not understand social distancing nor can they keep masks on. Further the hard plastic structures hold corona for about 8 hours minimum outside.

The last place a child should be is a playground.

Are you a Russian bot hitting the internet to spread fake news. There is no hard evidence that covid can live outside on playground surfaces for 8 hours. This is based on studies in a lab under controlled conditions. If you are worried, don't take your kids to the playground. Nobody is forcing you to go.

Setting aside the question of whether playgrounds are or are not safe (and in my opinion they may be, but the jury's still out so it seems a little premature) - It's unbelievable to me that posters like the above can't seem to wrap their heads around the idea that when they personally choose to take risks, they are making that decision not only on behalf of themselves and their children, but on behalf of a whole bunch of other people too. For example, if PP goes to a crowded place while cases are still on the rise and gets infected, s/he will then spread the illness to a grocery store employee, an elderly parent, or a nurse. PP has made a selfish decision by prioritizing his/ her own preferences over the safety of others. This is not a situation where "make the right decision for you and your family" applies. We've all been raised to think "you do you, and I'll do me" but a virus's spread DOES NOT WORK LIKE THAT. We are all connected.

It's so sad how fundamentally selfish our society is.

Here's an idea, OP. Get off DCUM and actually read about science and public health and then maybe you will bother us less with your ridiculous questions.
