[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one cares about your deep thoughts. Schools are finally
opening and they aren’t shutting down again. [/quote]

It’s hypocritical to say that “science” says it’s safe to open schools, then refuse to address the quality of the studies that the “science” relies on.[/quote]

You are never going to get the Open Schools Now Neanderthals to engage you in a discussion of studies or science. They just want talking points. Of course schools are not special places where you can eat in large groups indoors and breathe the same air impervious to the virus.  But they don’t care.  Vaccinating teachers is essential for teachers. But doesn’t help spread among kids.  They SHOULD care if they have kids over 10. They should NOT send their high schoolers into this til their kids are vaccinated.  Today’s NYT survey of pediatricians has the majority saying only K-5 should open. Biden is not pushing for high schools to open. But it’s true, none of the Open Schools parents give a hoot. They think the virus goes away if they ignore it.  [/quote]
[Ahhh, now I get why someone in another thread accused me of calling them a Neanderthal. I couldn't decide whether they were overreacting, or whether I was projecting that much contempt in my writing.] 
Agree completely with all of this.

This is incorrect. With proper ventilation and air removal, schools including lunch are safe and should be open.  Don't substitute your "intuition" for science.[/quote]

I haven't seen good science on this. The data I have seen was not systematically testing students or their households, was including in its numbers a bunch of kids who were actually full-time distance learning, was comparing (voluntarily reported) infection rates between a population of mostly-kids and a population of mostly-adults, etc...

Proper air removal sounds lovely, but if there is an infected kid with a cute mask gaping on all sides in front of the vent pushing freshly MERV16-filtered air into the classroom, the next kid 6 feet further with a cute mask symbolically covering their face will get a continuous forced flow of virus. If neither is tested because they're both asymptomatic, someone's parent will get sick, but they'd been doing XYZ, so that's probably how, not schools, because schools are sacred and Science!

Yes, some children will get covid when students are in the building.  But they're also getting covid while schools are closed.

Risk analysis does not mean zero risk.  It means balancing multiple risks.  [/quote]
