[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can I just remind people that this disease isn’t that bad for children? It’s not.

Do you send your kids to school during flu outbreaks? Your kid with underlying medical conditions? You probably do, although from now on you may not because everyone is suddenly afraid of every child being at all ever sick.

Keep reminding yourself this, because it’s not going away.[/quote]

This is not a study of Delta, which is resulting in more serious infections.  [/quote]

There is zero evidence Delta is more severe for children. Stop. [/quote]

That’s just not true. Look at hospitalization data for children between the original strain, alpha and delta. [/quote]

Everything I have seen says that yes, delta is more severe, but risk of severe disease in kids is still very low.  Kids have higher risk of poor outcomes with flu and car crashes.  https://emilyoster.substack.com/p/kids-and-the-delta-variant-should

We. Can. Mitigate. Risk. For. Flu.

Also Emily Oyster should not be relied on for anything. She doesn’t have the credentials. [/quote]

She is a HEALTH ECONOMIST. her actual job is to analyze health data and assess costs and benefits.

but yeah, let us know your credentials?

and of course we can mitigate covid. mitigated covid from last year of school  and all summer of camp tell us school with mitigated covid measures is fine. Let me say it again: ZERO children died of covid in DC. (or MoCo.) [/quote]

Keyword: economist. Zero medical training. The folks with medical training are screaming from the rooftops right now. You just don’t want to listen because you care more about free childcare.

And you’re making my argument for me. Mitigation last year was social distancing/hybrid. Not packed classrooms with an even more contagious varient. [/quote]
