To be fair people in this thread were calling those opinions doomposting, as though posting about the bad poo poo coming around the corner is a bad thing Wouldn't want people to be worried about the pandemic that's filling the morgues lol

My friend in Virginia went to the doctor today for a COVID test because she has cold symptoms and her daughter just started kindergarten last week. She joked around with the physician and said "hey, the course of treatment isn't ivermectin is it?" and he looked her dead in the eye and said, "oh no, only if this test is positive and your o2 sats are low." He also called her "love" the whole appointment. Her child is also sick, but pediatrician refused to test because low-grade fever, sore throat and new onset cough apparently aren't enough to warrant it. Principal said get a rapid test from Walgreens and send her back in.

Scarodactyl posted:SA mods have gotten weirdly timid. I can't imagine looking at such obvious trolling and thinking a couple probes are sufficient instead of a threadban. I agree and can’t understand why we tolerate casual suggestions of nationwide school shutdowns when we know the policy is massively dangerous and not justified by the evidence or realistic in the vast majority of regions. It’s pretty hosed.

We have to follow the science on schools, and the only way to do science is to get data. The data in this case involve sending children into schools with delta running rampant and seeing what happens. Therefore,,

Almost a clichéd point by now, but after Sandy Hook nobody should have been under the delusion that the nebulous concept of "lots of kids getting sick or even dying" would motivate any US legislature to do precisely anything

There isn't evidence for the contrary either. The only thing that you've posted are opinion pieces, anecdotes, or that children's mental health is being affected, which is exactly what's happening to everyone else who aren't school children. You know what is evidence? 21% of infections were in children last April. Youth hospitalizations are up. Delta's fatality rate among children isn't fully understood yet. Mississippi schools are closing down anyway after thousands of students became infected. Your literally advocating to throw kids into the grinder because "yeah it'll probably be fine, NOT going to school is worse, especially if they survive". mom and dad fight a lot fucked around with this message at 20:29 on Aug 31, 2021 |

If there was a real way to do remote schooling you might have a point (hint it’s not about resources, there is no such thing as remote kindergarten. And for millions school is a good environment with a square meal).

I mean besides the risks to kids themselves there's also the fact they'll spread it to everyone around them. Every. Single. Time. they opened schools up here in Canada it was immediately followed by a large spike in cases that mysteriously lessened once they closed schools again  .And it's one more semester. 5-11s are going to be almost certainly getting shots this fall. By January most will have two shots and be protected.

How are u posted:They won't. China and new Zealand will end up living with covid like the rest of the world. If Aus & NZ can hold it at bay long enough for most of the population to get vaccinated at least twice then their fatality rate should be much lower than the rest of the world has been subject to. Our best bet long term is a highly transmittable mutation with a low fatality rate.

Yeah that is what they are trying to do. Hold off spread until they can get 90%+ vaccinated with the actual good vaccines. After that it would be bizarre to try and pursue zero covid.

Are you doing the horse medicine too. I don’t recommend it. Please tell me you’ve taken the vaccine despite the fact that it has risks. Covid harms kids. So does missing school. Find an institution that’s looked at the facts and concluded that we should shut down schools.

You’re trying to compare poorer educational outcomes that result from school closures with excess student deaths (and a general acceleration of the delta wave that already has a lot of hospitals at their breaking point) that are resulting from schools remaining open. The two things are measurable but aren’t directly comparable. You can have an opinion on what should be prioritized, health or education, and what the thresholds should be but your vague “look at the data” arguments are worthless because there’s no objective comparison. It’s apples and oranges. The only thing I agree with the anti-shutdown crowd about is that it makes very little sense to only close schools and leave everything else open. But I assume everyone here who thinks schools should close right now also feels that way about theaters, bars, theme parks, gyms, etc. Or at the very least limited to masked and (not or) vaxxed people.
