[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We know about the long-term effects of influenza and the common cold on the human body. We know next to nothing about the long-term effects of COVID-19. We have to look beyond the short-term symptoms (or no symptoms) that COVID causes. Until we have a greater understanding of what COVID truly does to the body, I have no problem with public policies designed to reduce exposure.[/quote]

For how long, and at what cost?  This is now the third year of disrupted education for these kids.  How long do we keep them out of school?  Long-term effects, by definition, take a long time to manifest.  How many years of education are you okay with?  And how much exposure are we reducing?  Kids who aren't in school have to go somewhere, and at least at school you can somewhat enforce masking, control ventilation, do testing, etc.  And parents still have to work, restaurants and bars and gyms are still open...why is it kids (and working parents) who have to keep taking it on the chin?
