[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Minimizing childhood Covid in the US—a play in 4 acts

Act 1 “Kids don’t get Covid”
Act 2 “Kids get Covid but don’t get ill”
Act 3 “Kids die from Covid but don’t worry, only kids with pre-existing conditions die”
Act 4 “Don’t worry, kids also die from drowning or car crashes”[/quote]

zero covid deaths of kids in DC and MoCo.  the understanding of covid and kids has been really pretty stable all along - taking into account, of course, the quickly changing landscape.  there are certainly still some questions related to Delta, but the underlying assessment seems to be true especially wrt schools.

Four dead kids in Maryland. And counting. How many dead kids are acceptable to you?[/quote]

Are you asking in balance with disrupting every kid's education for a THIRD school year?  The risks would have to be very, very high.  We don't shut schools for every risk to kid's health. This is where the car accident analogy comes into play - to elicit our actual risk analysis in settings less charged by cognitive bias than covid.  So no, I would not agree to closing schools in DC because 4 kids died in MD over 18 months.  [/quote]
