pregnantseinfeld:corollarytower:Biden, nearly 80 years old, has a radically higher chance of dying of covid than a 10 year old. Children are much less likely to spread covid between them than adults. These risks to kids have to be balanced against the real harms of remote learning, like reduced access to lunch programs, reduced visibility of child abuse/neglect, weaker socialization of children, and lack of internet access for poor families. Biden taking precautions does not contradict saying schools can reopen with precautions. His assertion obviously assumes mask wearing/immunizing teachers/basic safety protocols. The argument isn’t that schools are entirely unimportant, but that ‘reopening’ has been a disaster every time its been pushed. We all know teachers even older than Biden, and at what fantasy school would they be able to remain a safe distance from students? Are we really going to expect 10 year olds to be in perfect compliance with guidelines? How are these students going to feel knowing they’d made they spread the virus to their older and more vulnerable family members? And those reasons you list are very clearly not the real reason we’ve seen this bipartisan reopening push. Its because these half-assed ‘~shutdowns~’ are an annoyance to the wealthy.ALSO, you are a despicable ‘i-want-to-go-back-to-sleep!’ liberal who was happy enough ignoring our bombing civilians and breaking deportation records from 2008-2016 and only wants to return to the good old days of not having to hear so many worrisome things on the news. And we aren’t on the same ‘side’, because I want all the people you voted for to be hung from the neck until dead.“He’s 80 and more likely to die” and that’s a single person. You get that it doesn’t matter how much risk he has for outcomes if there is only a single possible vector compared to millions for kids? -- source link
