[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Other schools in other parts of the country have been doing this for awhile now. It's not like the kids are dropping dead or landing in the hospital. I wish my kid's school would do this.[/quote] 900,000 COVID deaths and counting, US average life expectancy down by a whole year, hospitals overburdened with medical staff burdened out, and headlines like the one below, yet you all still think it’s just the flu and doesn’t affect people much. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/02/01/science/covid-deaths-united-states.html?smtyp=cur&smid=fb-nytimes&fbclid=IwAR0OY09dCy8StdbBYRKBi-yD9zYU5nifONS9kzFBbFaCH6emERXU83ax0iQ[/quote] The average age of a covid death is what,74? Which is similar to life expectancy. Most deaths were before vaccines. Being concerned about covid deaths for kids at school and their teachers (unless elderly) is dumb. Serious question. Should we have to mask our kids and quarantine them forever because 900k people died? If so, we need to eliminate processed foods for snacks because 600k people die from heart disease annually and no one seems to care. [/quote] Heart disease is not a highly communicable upper respiratory virus that spreads between people in the air. You all sure come up with strange comparisons. Do you really not care that our country has the highest death rate of any wealthy nations or that we are about to pass the one million mark of COVID deaths? Do you not see the graphics and wish we were down there with Japan or Australia? How are people so complacent about this? My parents are 74 and it would devastate me if they passed from COVID. It’s not just about kids in schools, it about how each small decision causes larger ripple effects in society.[/quote]
