[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP again. You'll also be heaping COVID deaths upon flu deaths. Your argument seems to be that plenty of people die from the flu, why not COVID, too?[/quote]

No, the argument is that parents send their kids to school even though kids get the flu at school and die.

[b]Now, maybe parents are ok with the risk of their kids dying from school-acquired flu but are not ok with the risk of their kids dying from school-acquired covid.[/b] I don't know, and you don't either. But it does suggest that when it comes to sending kids to school, most parents have a potentially-fatal infectious-disease risk tolerance that's higher than zero.[/quote]

You've answered your own question here. The other thing to realize is that this is not just about what parents want, or are willing to risk. The decision about f2f instruction has to take into account the effects of the decision upon the larger society in which the schools operate.[/quote]

PP: Parents won't send their kids to school because the kids might die of covid!
Other PP: Really? Flu kills more kids than covid, yet parents send their kids to school.
You: Flu is not covid! Also, what about the adults?

As for the effect on the larger society in which schools operate - [b]what is the effect on the larger society of closed schools?[/b][/quote]

The effect is more people will be alive than if we had opened the schools.[/quote]
