I guess I can understand distance learning where there is at least a reasonable feasible alternative. I can see high school and college kids being able to get most/all of their studies done online but it doesn't work for elementary school kids. Add to that how are parents supposed to get back to work while their 7 year old is sitting at home surfing around the internet on their laptop in some futile attempt to do their addition worksheet?
Read a couple weeks ago that in the US a total of 8 kids under the age of 18 have died from the Boomer Remover virus meanwhile 500 kids a year die from getting hit by a car. If we are really THINKING ABOUT THE KIDS GODDAMNIT we should be more concerned about how the kids get to school than if it's open or not...
Then, is the narrative based on numbers, math, facts, etc. or something else.
Furthermore, educational institutions—and their unions—are going to be faced with very uncomfortable questions about their societal importance if school does not go back. I think some of them are starting to realize this, and their political heft will help the economy and country at large if they choose to wield it.
The Rona doesn't bother kids. We know this. So why?
Because they can be carriers, because they can be asymptomatic, because anyone can be asymptomatic.
A more rational concern—also cited by these governors—addresses the possibility that asymptomatic schoolchildren could end up passing the virus to their teachers, parents, or other adults. But even here the balance of existing evidence suggests this worry is largely unfounded. “Children under 10 are less likely to get infected than adults, and if they get infected, they are less likely to get seriously ill,” said Kári Stefánsson, in an interview following the publication of an Icelandic study he coauthored in The New England Journal of Medicine. “What is interesting,” he continued, “is that even if children do get infected, they are less likely to transmit the disease to others than adults. We have not found a single instance of a child infecting parents.”
The same conclusion has been reached by many others. A report released by the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment for the Netherlands found “no indications that children younger than 12 years were the first to be infected within the family.” Rather, it remarked, “The virus is mainly spread between adults and from adult family members to children.” A report of the WHO-China Joint Mission on Coronavirus Disease stated: “Of note, people interviewed by the Joint Mission Team could not recall episodes in which transmission occurred from a child to an adult.”

Can we just get to killing Granny so this shit can be over. If you aren't 80, there is little to no risk. If you are 80, you are just a total suck on the economy and the SS savings will be good for everyone. Win fucking win.
sir (yes i assumed your gender!) look at this buoyancy beauty below, she was just 29 and perished! if it can get her, it can get anyone!

Has anyone checked on @IrishDawg22 's emotional state and well-being during this time of fatty loss?

The numbers don't lie when it comes to continuing this lock down
6,000,000 Americans infected = 1.7%
Deaths
80,000 = 1.3% of the infected and 0.023 % of the population.
WE CAN"T RISK OPENING UP
Edit - I made the numbers up
Unless YOU have proof in HAND...it’s speculation for YOU. ‘Those who know’....meaning YOU are not a ‘THOSE’. I didn’t create the English language but ‘speculation’ is pretty cut and dry. Unless you are an eye witness, YOU are speculating. Word of mouth is not proof.

My kids and Grandkids remain on Permanent lockdown because they might get my friends sick while they themselves are at No personal risk?
Big belly laughs in the media room
Now we must remain closed until that never happens again
Lock the people up, make them susceptible to any little bug. Thanks, Bill & Melinda!!!
