What do people think of this:

The AAP recommend kids go back, and their reasoning is based on what we know the risk is low to children so going outweights not developmentally. But, as others have pointed out that approach significantly increases risks to those at home. I'm in that boat with a multi-generational household, something that is much more common in general, but especially for those who are poor.

That said, I feel like some of the ''evidence" we have that children are at lower risks doesn't seem to take into account that for the most part schools have been closed in the US since very early in this. Here in GA they closed schools completely pretty drat fast compare to everything else. This is due to how much more protection we provide children in general, people are more quick to take precautions that protect them.

Also based on my extremely simple physical model of sars-cov-2 I've been using to inform my thinking: Kids are short and thus exposed to less virus from Adults when they are grouped and socializing. So with schools closed kids are very unlikely to get covid from adults other than their parents and then spread it among other children. Open schools back up and all those kids as they get covid from their parents will spread it very quickly through the schools. IT's a bad terrible model, but you take what you can get.

so yeah opening schools will be a bad idea, and it also seems AAP forgot about Kawasaki's disease.

has your ‘kids are short’ theory taken into account that most noses point downwards

It's almost like the death rate across the entire population was always around 2ish percent assuming the hospitals aren't overwhelmed, and also our testing early on was completely poo poo so we were only testing people at death's door.

WHO has a track record of not ever being correct about covid ever. There's a hundred plus vaccines in testing phases and a 0% chance that none of them will work.

Everything is dumb as gently caress today and will stay that way for a minimum of another year. Count your beans, pet a catte, exercise daily and do your best to not get sick and we will get to the other side alive.

I'm looking for sane advice so of course I'm asking here

My gf and I have decided that since we have almost zero faith in our institutions to keep us fed and safe, we need to start learning basic survival skills. Even if we never use them, it will help our mental health. Right now we have literally zero skills that will help keep us alive in the even of complete systemic collapse.

There is a lot to learn and we don't know where to start, other than gardening. Gardening/plant cultivation is the one that we both agree is massively important. From there... we don't know where to go.

Not looking for an effortpost, but are there goons who are into outdoorsing/survivalist stuff, and what basic reading/resources do you recommend?

We are treating this as a hobby and something to do for fun during this disaster, with the added side benefit that if it ever becomes necessary, we will be more ready than we are today.

God bless and RIP all of us when the climate wars start

Pretty sure that if food delivery was an effective pandemic vector then cases would have been immediately traced to Doordash and Uber Eats or whatever, and the poo poo would not have slowed down as much during the actual shutdowns, because grocery delivery sales went through the roof.

I love you goons but you all paranoid as hell.
