  1. Have siblings catch it at school, and pass it onto their infant siblings, and see a shit-ton of soccer moms completely lose their shit. https://www.kristv.com/news/coronavirus/canales-clarifies-reports-about-local-infant-covid-numbers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. I will say I've read about Ace2 receptors being undeveloped in kids which is part of the reason for mild symptoms which leads them to less coughing/symptoms meaning less spread. But I'd defer to the docs on that
  3. don't know on that. your first two statements only focus on US. Studies below along with commentary from NIH: https://www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1056/NEJMoa2006100?articleTools=true Study published in the New England Journal of medicine showing infection rates for children 10 and under is half of what it is for people over 10 years old. This data come from Iceland’s screening of its population. Genetic sequence tracing. https://www.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/blog/hunting-down-covid-19/ Commentary from the above study. “Children under 10 are less likely to get infected than adults and if they get infected, they are less likely to get seriously ill. What is interesting is that even if children do get infected, they are less likely to transmit the disease to others than adults. We have not found a single instance of a child infecting parents.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7268273/ Here is a study from Ireland which shows no evidence of secondary transmission of covid from children attending school. They tracked child contacts of cases and there were no confirmed secondary cases. http://ncirs.org.au/sites/default/files/2020-04/NCIRS NSW Schools COVID_Summary_FINAL public_26 April 2020.pdf A report on school-related transmission in New South Wales, Australia, examining the spread of SARS-CoV-2 from 18 confirmed cases (nine students and nine staff) from 15 schools identified only two potential cases of secondary school-based transmission, despite the identification of 863 close contacts https://www.rivm.nl/en/novel-coronavirus-covid-19/children-and-covid-19 A study from the Netherlands. Essentially repeating the same. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32371442/ From the NIH explaining the children are not Covid spreaders. https://www.npr.org/2020/06/24/882316641/what-parents-can-learn-from-child-care-centers-that-stayed-open-during-lockdowns NPR article on tracking spread at the YMCA from children of essential workers. “The YMCA says that during the lockdowns it cared for up to 40,000 children between the ages of 1 and 14 at 1,100 separate sites, often in partnership with local and state governments. And in New York City, the pandemic's national epicenter in March and April, the city's Department of Education reports that it cared for more than 10,000 children at 170 sites. Working in early days, and on very short notice, these two organizations followed safety guidance that closely resembles what's now been officially put out by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Y says a few staff members and parents at sites around the country did test positive, but there are no records of having more than one case at a site. This, among a population of essential workers.”
  4. that's why he said it aged well. posted this on the DT thread as well but thought it was worthwhile. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/missing-context-covid-story-matt-mcpheely/?trackingId=JPI%2FuuNaQQSU9dJqqzvu2g%3D%3D
  5. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/missing-context-covid-story-matt-mcpheely/?trackingId=JPI%2FuuNaQQSU9dJqqzvu2g%3D%3D I found this informative
  6. What is most frustrating about this is that Jenkins says as soon as they figured out they could delay and not get funding cut they pulled the trigger. Why are private schools impacted then? Kids aren’t dying from this and kids don’t spread it to adults. So what the fuck is the point.
  7. Well, Judge Clay Jenkins just shut down in person schooling in Dallas for both public and private schools through 9/7.
  8. So was the conversation like this? "Look, we have no fucking idea because we can't contact trace worth a shit and we can't blame it on the BLM protests, can't blame it on memorial day bbqs, can't talk about border crossings from Mexico where it is fucking wheels off, so lets blame it on the "Northerners". Especially since the NY Times wrote that article about NY seeding the spread across the country". "Uhhh, sure, sounds good to us"
  9. Didn't know where else to put this. Rick turns orange then red.
  10. They are. Should I ignore the known long term complications of my kids mental health? Falling behind? Or should I only focus on a potential unknown? I've known 3 kids (15 months to 8 years) that had it and they had fevers for a day. Bottom line is this is a personal preference and people weigh risks differently.
  11. starts at 13 min. Pediatricians discussing risk and if they would recommend kids in school, which they do. Our kids are young and we aren't around any immunocompromised folks so we can't wait for them to start. And the risk for kids dying from this is so remote it is not a rationale concern
  12. Give it up bud. Take your divisiveness elsewhere. Good job by all
  13. Term limits and ms13 in the Covid no politics thread. Very on brand surly
  14. is that a subtweet?
  15. https://www.npr.org/2020/06/24/882316641/what-parents-can-learn-from-child-care-centers-that-stayed-open-during-lockdowns The Y says that during the lockdowns it cared for up to 40,000 children between the ages of 1 and 14 at 1,100 separate sites, often in partnership with local and state governments.

  16. I did read the piece. And I read the article you (or someone posted) on Israel. And of course I wouldn't claim it closed the issue. I just see people emotionally responding with 'we can't open schools' and I found that study that said kids were not spreading vectors. And just so we are clear, I'm looking for anything to validate my desire to get my kids the fuck out of my house.
  17. Are you going to address the peer reviewed piece from the pediatricians or are you just going to brush it aside and say we suck and we can’t do it? Do you have kids? Our federal government and president have fucked up everything but that is irrelevant to the fact that kids are not spreading it to other kids or adults. Just read it and then you can condescendingly respond to me since that seems to be your schtick
  18. This is a paper that has been peer reviewed and pre-published by the American Academy of Pediatrics. The fact that kids have not spread it in schools elsewhere is relevant. Everything else you are bitching about is not.
  19. that paper is looking at data from schools outside the US and secondary infection spread. Not here.
  20. Kids don't drive the spread and they should be in school. As a parent, mine will be. https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/pediatrics/early/2020/05/22/peds.2020-004879.full.pdf
  21. I keep seeing versions of this on various threads but it does not seem to be backed up by anything. Kids are not drivers of the spread. https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/pediatrics/early/2020/05/22/peds.2020-004879.full.pdf
