Coronavirus

How many kids go to school during flu season? It's much more dangerous to kids. And a 6 year old's 30 year old parents are highly unlikely to die from Covid-19. Or a 16 year old's 40 year old parents for that matter. Most deaths have occurred above 60 and precautions can be taken just like they are now. Saying kids shouldn't be in school but they're with mom at the supermarket is ludicrous, especially when although social distancing slows down the rate of transmission it doesn't eliminate it.
The flu isn't spread by asymptomatic cases. Ttku..

I understand leftists like you are using the Chinese Virus as political fodder, and will do everything you can to avoid admitting things are getting much better.

Carry on comrade.
I understand that COVID has no political beliefs. Political pandering is not a cure. How many flu cases has there been so far in July?

Didn't say it was. Said it kills more kids than Covid-19 yet we send kids to school during the flu season. And kids who are asymptomatic with Covid-19 aren't likely to kill their parents. And with precautions they can still see their grandparents, or not. Europe is reopening schools, why can't we?

Kids are sent to school during flu season because if they have no symptoms they are not spreading it. Covid-19 is spread mostly by asymptomatic cases which means they can spread it to family members without showing symptoms. Ttku Van. It's really not that hard to understand.

Science and facts, and not fear or threats from President Tweety.

Internal documents from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned that fully reopening K-12 schools and universities would be the "highest risk" for the spread of coronavirus, according to a New York Times report, as President Donald Trump and his administration push for students and teachers to return in-person to classrooms.
The 69-page document obtained by the Times marked "For Internal Use Only" was among materials for federal public health response teams deployed to coronavirus hotspots to help local public health officials handle the outbreak, the newspaper reported.

Again where is the disease doing the most damage? At the point of oxygen transfer, the alveolus. This is also where some treatments are showing promise.

Don't be a clown. Protect the elderly and sick and don't go looking for a fight without preparation.

I'm talking vit.D and other proactive measures.

Also, a vaccine is fools gold since already back in April geneticist discovered it already mutated 242 times.

The current CDC guidelines, last updated in May, say the "lowest risk" setting for Covid-19 spread is virtual-only learning options, while listing full-sized, in-person classes that lack social distancing as the "highest risk" setting.

Europe contained their initial outbreaks. Our federal government decided to ignore the problem and allow a chaotic varied response by local officials resulting in the worst spread of the virus in the world. That’s why they can open schools and when we do it will just make things worse.

When it comes to school re-opening, Dumby donald has made it clear that his primary concern isn't safety (remember the passengers on the cruise ship), but the way a spike in numbers and a struggling economy would affect him politically.

For the 1/100th time, the reason we show so many Cases, compared to other countries that haven’t done nearly as well as we have, is that our TESTING is much bigger and better. We have tested 40,000,000 people. If we did 20,000,000 instead, Cases would be half, etc. NOT REPORTED!

Meanwhile... "An analysis of Commerce Department travel entry records and private aviation data obtained by The Associated Press shows that nearly 8,000 Chinese nationals and foreign residents of Hong Kong and Macao entered the U.S. on more than 600 commercial and private flights in the first three months after the ban was imposed."
