Fascinating lack of concern for those who may have serious mental health crises or even commit suicide and die, which is out of control in our country right now.

If your kid or someone in your family is suicidal then they need therapy. Going back to school doesn't cure their suicidal ideation.

The problem is that there are no good options.
Because Trump, and the Republican Party, screwed up the COVID response. At best. (At worst they sabotaged it intentionally for political advantage.)

Almost like the political advantage that the Dems - including Kamala - are fueling with questioning vaccines. What a bunch of idiots.

Please stop with the blame Trump crap -so old and so irrelevant after next week. Does Trump control Italy as well? They too, are suffering horribly.

The only option here is to live with the virus and understand and accept how we live with it. Children should be first in our priorities.

I'm not ok living with the virus given how serious it is. If our kids are our priority we need to go back on quarantine and get rid of it.

Hey, you'll be pleased to know that the mortality has plummeted!

Its on the rise again.

Citation? I've seen nothing supporting a claim that morality rates have increased.

Oh god, stop arguing with stupid. She doesn’t know what “mortality rate” means.

People going on and on about “science” then spouting fantasy, fairyland garbage like “2 week lockdown will end this.”

This study shows correlation but not causation. Surely you realize that op.

Where were all these people who are suddenly worried about mental health, child abuse and substance abuse before the pandemic? These problems have always been with us, but no one ever wanted to pay for anything that would improve those situations. My guess is that as soon as schools/businesses are open and those folks are no longer inconvenienced, they will go back to ignoring those problems and speaking against any funding to ameliorate them.

FCPS test schools are shutting down thanks to cases.

DP, but some of us who seriously concerned about mental health (including suicide, addiction, etc.) actually WORK in this area and know how important it is. Every time I see a post like yours, I assume that you don't care about mental health yourself, you just like to pick on people who are vocal about it. It's bizarre.

No, they are closing and reopening. They are not shutting down.

If *a circumstance* creates mental health problems, and you change *the circumstance* then yes, your mental health can improve.

Stop being obtuse.

This. Based on the methods in this study, Georgia opening schools caused a massive decrease in R. Of course, we know it's just coincidence, since school case rates REFLECT community rates (rather than driving community rates). They also don't mention the fact that R fluctuates massively in the absence of any changes in non-pharmaceutical interventions, indicating that there are many other independent factors regulating R.

But this study DOES give us a useful headline for panicky idiots to point to.

Except I would say it's not just bizarre, it's delusional.
