It's been the standard since forever. WH doctors aren’t, nor have they ever been immune to playing (or being forced to play) the PR game. We recently witnessed the same in Britain with Boris Johnson. But, unlike in the past, it's more difficult to do in today's world. This leads to mixed messaging and non-answers, which opens the door for stupid conspiracy theories. Great take. Goes back forever. Hitler was not a healthy guy. Huge checklist of possible things he could have had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So teachers believe that it can be controlled in the school but then you go on to say that only applies until a kid comes into the school with it. Don't the masks that every kid is being required to wear in school work? Whooooosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our kids need in person schooling. My daughter went to Summer school and is currently going to school. No issues so far. During summer school the kids did bring home a stomach bug, but that's to be expected. How long do they intend to drag this out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If losing 200k+ elderly citizens damages a society, losing 50M+ citizens can't be a good thing. Look at the actuarials on just SoSec. We'll be from 40:1 at the start to under 3:1 soon (payees : retirees). We're missing a generation, or more, by our own hand, to support the society we'd built.

Kids in classrooms is probably the safest place they can be as it is a fairly controlled environment. What I was trying to say is that when the kids leave school all bets are off. Even if we assume kids won't suffer greatly when they're infected, they still are imminently capable of spreading the virus wherever they go and to whomever they come into contact. One of my kids knows a family that has been exposed to the virus and been notified of that fact; I think they call that "close contact". That family did not get tested, and instead of quarantining as suggested, spent a weekend on the road, visiting neighboring communities and attractions. And on Monday morning they sent the kids to school. If those kids are carrying the virus, they spread it all over southern North Dakota and northern South Dakota, at playgrounds, cafes, etc. And then went back to school and after school daycare, potentially spreading to yet another population. Clearly this family is ignoring the risks (or just plain ignorant). They're acting selfish to say the least. Students wearing masks in a classroom are helpful. However, many rural schools aren't requiring students to wear masks at lunch, in the hallways or at recess. Heck, one of my kids teaches in a district where the school board refused to mandate masks anywhere. But if some families refuse to recognize the risk, or the benefit of limiting exposure after school and on weekends, the virus will continue to spread unchecked. I don't want school kids to be infected. But I also don't want them turning into super spreaders simply because they are asymptomatic and their parents are foolish.
