[quote=Anonymous][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."

Closing schools for a year wasn't about the kids dying in the car crash though. It was about the parents, grandparents, and caregivers. How do you not understand than an orphaned-but-educated child is not better off than a uneducated-but-at home child?

This right here is EXACTLY what I’m taking about.  These statistics about “a leading cause of death” in young people so misleading. I saw an article that was titled something like “COVID the 6th leading cause of death in children”. Um yeah, because it is generally very rare for children to die.  You should read the Atlantic article because it actually talks quite a bit about democrats misconstruing the risk through these misleading “fact” to convince people that schools closures were and continue be the right decision.  It is well documented that democrats have continues to over-sell how risky covid is, especially now that people who want to be vaccinated, are.  It’s going to lose you votes.  Maybe you don’t care about votes because you think you’re saving lives by closing schools, but trump being president again is a very real risk you’re taking. [/quote]
