[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am begging, BEGGING, parents and community members to understand how very, very low risk kids are of severe illness from COVID. https://brownstone.org/articles/well-structured-german-study-shows-no-deaths-among-healthy-german-kids-ages-5-to-11/[/quote]

Covid was a top 10 cause of death for kids in 2020. [/quote]

Flu usually causes more death in kids, plus now there are vaccines. We don't require kids to eat outside in 45 degree weather and light rain because of the flu.[/quote]

This is not true. Covid killed many more kids in 2020 than influenza kills during a typical flu season.

The vaccines do change things. But we need more kids to get vaccinated before we can change behavior. [/quote]

A regular flu season kills more kids (H1N1 killed way more kids annually), and we don't do this for the flu. Take a look at estimated flu deaths.  And COVID just doesn't kill random healthy kids - it kills ones with significant comorbidities, who absolutely should be taking more precautions (just like they need to with the flu).

All of you nutters about COVID really need to understand you and your children will be exposed to it repeatedly the rest of their lives.  Every single on of them will.  Everyone will get it.  The risk to health children is statistically 0, but if you're looking for it to be even less, there's a vaccine available.  But will your kids forgive you when they're older for treating them like snowflake disease vectors?

Youngkin can't come soon enough.
