[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is very wrong.

1. Children transmit the virus just as much as adults.

2. The pandemic is driven by asymptomatic cases.

3. This means open schools buildings are accelerators of viral spread. You can have zero cases in school, but still spread the virus into the community because of points 1 and 2.

4. Our case numbers have done nothing but increase in recent weeks due to the Holidays and people staying indoors in the winter. If we add more cases, our hospitals won't keep up.

Lies. Lies. Lies.

OP is way off.

“The coronavirus is here to stay, but once most adults are immune — following natural infection or vaccination — the virus will be no more of a threat than the common cold, according to a study published in the journal Science on Tuesday.”

Oh, and the CDC did a study and found:

“Disease rates in counties where in-person learning is available for school-aged children and adolescents is similar to areas where classes are entirely online, according to a report by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It concludes schools should be the last to close, and the first to re-open.”

Link to CDC report, dated January 13, 2021:

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/pdfs/mm7003e1-H.pdf

“CDC recommends that K–12 schools be the last settings to close after all other mitigation measures have been employed and the first to reopen when they can do so safely.”
