Send him to school.
Otherwise, shut the fuck up.

(7,433 posts)Of course they'll close, because they never should have opened. This is what we do when we have a PANDEMIC that kills people. We close off transmissibility. This doesn't take an epidemiologist's expertise to grasp the facts. It takes a cup of coffee, but only if you're sleep deprived. Otherwise, you don't need the coffee. If we really want to stop the dying, we control the virus FIRST. DUH.

(32,017 posts)His answer was, In my view schools should reopen [and he said this repeatedly]. Then he said, This thing is going away. It will go away like things go away, and my view is that schools should be open.
In other words, he has NO PLAN for reopening schools safely.

He would never get away with this on the other two networks, not with covid.

(38,187 posts)We will look at all of these phased "spikes" happening this summer as a joke once the spikes start really happening. All schools are not going to open the same way. Some red states will probably throw all the kids into the classrooms together as usual and watch the shit his the fan then.
I hate that fucker more every nanosecond.

(63,221 posts)children themselves getting sick and dying of Covid if they go back to school, but that is only one issue, and probably not even the most important one, since they are less likely to die from it than adults or people with compromised immune systems (which could also be other children).
The other issue is that these children can still contract the virus and even be asymptomatic and still be disease vectors. Which means they go back to their families and transmit the disease to parents, grandparents and anyone else in the community that they come in contact with. If those parents are out in the workplace or society - especially if they are not practicing social distancing and other safety measures - they then become spreaders of the virus and so on.
Most adults cannot seem to comply with the suggestions for preventing the transmission of this virus to others. How on earth can they expect children to do it? It's going to be a disaster.
