TL;DR
No (none, nada, zilch, zippo) transmission from kids to others, verified by DNA sequencing of the virus that each child/adult was infected with.
I don't understand why they won't reopen schools but the ACTUAL SCIENCE based on other countries' having reopened schools indicates that it would not be dangerous. Is it politics, Karenism run amok, or ????? Everyone's freaking out, but no one's looking at numbers. It's probably different numbers across the US, but there is a big chunk of students who simply dropped out last March with no school contact, and no further school work. This will only get worse the longer schools are closed. I'm not sure why no one is looking down the road at the larger societal problems that will result. Whether most kids are learning anything of value in school is another thread, but for a lot of kids, it's the only place they have structure and especially help for the special needs ones, and .... I could go on and on and I don't even have children!
Maybe next spring? Honestly, it's going to take time and in my opinion is going to become endemic and something that we deal with for years to come.
Now, this is scary. We've already been living like this for months and I don't think it's sustainable.
And thanks, @Iwokeup for starting this thread! I've had some friends and relatives contract Covid and it's kind of scary what they're going through.
Questions: Will masks ever be done away with? Will HCQ ever gain acceptance and would it have saved lives if used? Are test counts accurate and how are we to believe ANYTHING we are told? And this last question is because of that lab in Florida that was churning out 100% positives and Texas taking a bunch of cases off the books. I don't know what to believe anymore.
