[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This seems like a good place for this article.  It seems like the Democratic Party has their head in the sand that continued covid “mitigation” like virtual school isn’t going to cost them dearly in upcoming elections, to include the presidency. God forbid Trump run again.

This is great. I'm still reading it but this is a great paragraph:

"Many liberals and institutional leaders thought that no one could fault them for being too cautious, especially when it came to children. But I can, and I do. The University of Oxford medical ethicist Euzebiusz Jamrozik said recently on a podcast that ethical public-health responses must rely on a few key principles. One of those is “proportionality,” meaning that the intervention must be proportionate to the risk. A Bloomberg article noted in March that children in the U.S. were about 10 times as likely to be killed in a car crash as by COVID-19. Closing school for more than a year was disproportionate the same way that forbidding parents to drive would have been."

A succinct way to capture so much of the Covid hysteria.  Yes Covid is a serious threat, but no, that doesn't mean we just shut our brains down when someone says the word "Covid."

We have known kids were at little risk from Covid since the early days of the pandemic.  Much of the world kept their schools open throughout the pandemic and demonstrated that the risks of doing so were small and manageable.

Meanwhile we have some in the US that are -still- trying to shut schools down, and many of the most vocal are the teachers and school administrators themselves.

What happened to following the "science?"  These people need to stop the stupidity and get on the right side of this issue.
