10 and younger....are allegedly less infectiousWouldn't that be an embarrassment if they all went back to school and NOTHING BAD HAPPENED!Because it would reveal they hyped COVID to crash the economy and hurt Trump.
Wouldn't it be a tragedy if they all went back to school and hundreds of teachers, and children with asthma, and other "pre-existing conditions" got sick. I don't know of ANY parent who is so desperate for their children go back to school that they are prepared risk their children's lives or health to send them back.
CONTROL THE VIRUS. THEN TALK ABOUT RE-OPENING. IT'S NOT JUST THE RIGHT WAY, IT'S THE ONLY WAY.
Another ignorant Canuck who doesn't know that children's death rate is virtually zero and they don't effectively transmit the disease.
You also don't care that children are being harmed by being kept at home, they don't effectively learn on computers in replacement of live instruction and that poor kids may not have computer access at all.
Just another hate filled leftist
Yes and No. Ultimately, the jury is still out because while they think that's the case, they're not 100% sure. And it still doesn't change the fact you can't rule the virus spreading with older children. Not every child who attends school is a first grader.
The point still stands. Lower the virus infection rate, take the necessary precautions and issue the relevant guidelines...and we could get back to something resembling normal..including sending kids back to school.
Older Kids May Transmit COVID-19 as Much as Adults Do, New Evidence Shows
Since the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, scientists and health authorities have often observed that children do not appear to contract and transmit the virus to the same extent as adults.www.sciencealert.com
Or what we could do is open schools for kids up to high school grades. High school kids can stay home while their parents work and learn online.
The study showed 10 years old and older spread the virus as fast and efficient as adults....
The study on 10 years younger children, is not complete yet... They are not showing as contagious, but believe it could be the younger ones were isolated more... it could be they too are just as infectious....
Pretty much the opposite from what I've heard and read. Any credible link to your claim here?
Older children can spread the coronavirus just like adults, new study says
This new study says young adults can spread COVID-19 rather easily.www.deseret.com
Older Children Spread the Coronavirus Just as Much as Adults, Large Study Finds (Published 2020)
The study of nearly 65,000 people in South Korea suggests that school reopenings will trigger more outbreaks.www.nytimes.com
Again, all you're arguing is cut off. That younger children are less vulnerable and need to be in school more is still very important and you keep running away from that, just as you're ignoring that poor children are more likely to have no internet access at all
But I heard a scientist on the news last night that the study on 10 and younger is not complete.... They believe they too can spread it as well, but the reason they had not in the original study group is because they were protected and sheltered more....
So the 10 and younger group needs more studies.
OK, but you're still only arguing one side and ignoring the damage being done to children, particularly poor children. You aren't offering ANY solutions, just criticizing.
And again, the death rate for children of all ages is still virtually zero
Yep.....they don't care about the damage. They care about beating Trump in November.
