[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Approximately 700K people have died of HIV.

There is no cure.  No vaccine.

We did not shut the county down and rob children of their education when HIV was discovered.

But then, the folks who were infected with HIV at the start did not have any political power.

A sad commentary on this area.  [/quote]

False analogy.  HIV is not transmitted by casual contact and breathing the same air.  HIV is transmitted by the exchange of bodily fluids, which normally doesn't happen when children are in school.

Covid-19 is transmitted by two people indoors sharing the same space.  Even with masks, there is a low chance of transmission.  But when the infected person is in the same small contained space with others for extended periods of time, like say a period at middle or high school or an entire day like in elementary school, then they chance of infection goes up dramatically.  Right now the highest transmission factor are those families who are having small family gatherings and not being careful about social distancing and masks and spending too long together in enclosed spaces.  Additionally indoor extended events like church services, conventions, parties, etc have also been shown to have elevated transmission rates.

What's sad are the people who don't understand the science and then not only ignoring the recommendations by doctors and scientists, but arguing the science with a set of vague similarities.  [/quote]
