There were waits of several hours last week from pick-up to hospital bed.

Okay, then let's close all restaurants, bars, gyms, and other non-essential businesses, rather than SCHOOLS.

Let’s close all of the above.

It’s not the barflys suddenly flooding hospitals

Hahahahaha! Closing schools with DO NOTHING to affect the situation in hospitals. You think 3rd graders are flooding hospitals with Covid? People going to work, the Kennedy center, the gym, Oyamel, their company's happy hour at a pub in Dupont are all carrying on as they were in early December and will continue to do so.

But, sure, let's harm the 9 year olds so the half vaxxed overweight 60 year olds can keep on keeping on.

You’re so wrong

Oh no, please spare us this "expert"...

Your time is better spent looking at this recent study out of Germany:

I will never understand the "we don't know what the long-term effects of long covid" are crowd. Here is one thing we know for sure: the long term effects of school closings, for poorer children especially, are disastrous and life-long.

I'm sure you're just as concerned with how in-person school was failing poorer children too. You probably even donated $20 to a cause. Just heart warming.

We already have it from Fauci and other experts that these are primarily kid hospitalized WITH Covid and not FOR Covid

I find it weird that you don’t understand why someone would care about other people.

But the PP is not wrong. We know the harm. Why are you okay with that?

What a lazy argument. It’s like a textbook version of a red herring.

You don't understand much. I emphasized the effect on poorer children because (a) it is well documented (b) my own kids have been progressing well even with virtual (though it bears mentioning that many have not regardless of social and economic capital) (c) these phenomena seem best viewed from a societal point of view, than from an individual one. But, hey you got in what you thought was a dunk.

1) we don’t know the long term effects; we know short term how it impacted learning. It shouldn’t be surprising that in a truncated year (4 days/week compared to 5) scores were lower

2) Stop using poor kids as your reasoning to come back into schools. The PP is right. This site consistently trashes lower income schools and families. Just yesterday I saw one person refer to them as “poors” and another discount certain ES because the amount of at-risk students in the school population. I’ve worked at both a W3 and RISE school during the pandemic and the amount of resource hoarding at the wealthy school shows that this “outrage” for lower income kids and their situations is just something people put on the internet to push their own self interest

Advocating for school closure is simply not in line with public health guidance (CDC), which says that schools should be open. Keeping your own kids home is a better way to make your own choices without creating adverse consequences.

The DC middle class doesn't all believe with you, silly goose.

So what is R. White's or JL George's proposals for parents who cannot maintain jobs if schools close? I understand that for the rich it is NBD, and for the poor they are more likely to have public assistance.

If you think JLG is anti-middle class than you've clearly never talked to her. I think she's one of the few who has it right in this mess, and I'm glad I voted for her.

Your response to the question is “she’s nice”? Yes I will tell my employer that JL George is nice to talk to, so that’s why I can’t finish my assignments.

Eric Feigl-Dingus is a fraud. Here is his wife talking about taking their children to an Austrian school to escape DL.

Eric Feigl Ding is the patron saint of doom scrollers. The more sensational the tweets, the bigger his following. He has to keep feeding the beast.
