[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s definitely ignore public health recommendations and not test kids because some guy on the internet has a kid who had a mild case of covid so the rest of us should just let our unvaccinated kids have a modern day version of a chickenpox party and get it over with🤷‍♀️  Sounds smart.[/quote]

A non-existent, asymptomatic case of COVID is most likely the plurality of COVID cases in children.  Many cases are mild.  Very, very few result in hospitalization &quot;for&quot; COVID (not just &quot;with&quot; COVID), especially for a healthy child.  As shown by England's public health department, an [b]unvaccinated child [/b] has [u][i]less[/i][/u] risk with COVID than any [b]vaccinated adult [/b]age group. https://www.newsweek.com/vaccine-children-covid-england-deaths-1627885

We don't do this type of testing for the flu, so we shouldn't do it now. Before you know it, they'll want to start doing it for the flu.

But we all know the arguments for and against.  And we put those arguments to a vote and Arlington parents have voted overwhelmingly --&gt; 80%+ did not sign up for it.[/quote]

This sounds like APE's new thing. First they go off on enrollment numbers, now they will attack testing. [/quote]
