536 children died in car accidents, and another 349 died in pool drownings. 26 American children under the age of 15 have died from COVID

[bripat9643]

Why should we keep kids out of school over 26 deaths? It's pure insanity

The excuses of the COVID hysteria mongers are getting thinner and thinner. Now they all sound like paranoid conspiratorialists.

​

Stop Stealing Our Children’s Youth In The Name Of Their Grandparents​

​

For those who don’t get the outrage, let me try to put it in simple terms.​

​

Yes, COVID-19 is dangerous, especially to our elderly population and those who are high-risk. Yes, there will be some young, healthy people who die from COVID, as is true with the 38,000 people who die from car accidents each year, or the 2,000 children who died last year from cancer.​

​

As of June 17, 26 American children under the age of 15 have died from COVID. That is not a misprint: 26 children under the age of 15. By comparison, in the first six months of this year, an estimated 122 children under the age of 15 died from the flu, 536 children died in car accidents, and another 349 died in pool drownings. I don’t hear anyone saying we should stop putting kids in cars or letting them swim in pools.​

​

We are stealing our children’s youth and ultimately will be stealing their adulthood, because they will lack the education and social skills to succeed, and we are saddling them with a greater and greater amount of debt as we destroy our economy. Disrupting schooling also forces parents to try to homeschool their children and work their job at the same time.​

​

The effects will be more pronounced in poor communities that lack the technical infrastructure to allow children to access and be successful in distance learning. For the social justice warriors who have understandably been working for equal opportunity in society, this is the sword to die on.​

​

Every person I know in his 70s—every single one—says kids should go back to school. I cannot imagine a single grandparent in this country who would not sacrifice isolating himself for the next six months so his grandchildren can have the joy of playing tag with their friends on the playground or dissecting a frog with their lab partners.​

​

Yes, teachers are at greater risk than students. Doctors and nurses, many of whom are also high risk, continue to go to work every day treating actual COVID patients because that is their job. Individuals working in meat plants are keeping America fed, often under dangerous working circumstances.​

​

Workers put themselves at risk by stocking the shelves at the supermarkets to ensure Americans survive. I cannot imagine teachers not willing to make the same sacrifices. Behind ensuring Americans have food, ensuring our children are well educated is a very close second in top priorities as a society.​

​

You are an American, and you have the following choice every single day: if you are not comfortable with the progression of COVID, you should isolate yourself. Everyone else, put on your mask and practice good social distancing, but it is time to get back to work and life.​

Remember when you were talking about the flu deaths per year in comparison to the deaths from COVID? Now the death toll from COVID is twice that of the flu with no signs of slowing down. Of course let’s not forget how many cases have gone undiagnosed. It’s estimated to be much more than 3 million cases. Are you going to walk back what you said or just pretend you never said that?

Anyway. The issue of reopening schools is obvious. 1) Kids still pass on the virus even if they are less contagious than adults and 2) There’s, you know, THE ADULT STAFF. 3) other countries reopened their schools with social distancing measures.

So, are you saying you'd be willing to wear a mask when you go out, practice social distancing, stay away from large gatherings, and practice good hygiene? Cause doing these things is what it will take to tamp down the virus curve. If not, then I have no fucks to give for you and the rest of the covidiot crowd. No school administrator is going to risk sending kids back to school with rising infection rates and the possibility of kids getting sick and then passing it along to their teachers, parents, siblings, and grandparents...and neighbors. Deal with it. No one wants to see the economy in ruins or kids not in school (where they belong). But it's people like you that are preventing us from getting back to something approaching normal.

if ppl would just have the consideration to wear masks, it’s proven that that would go a long way

 

[initforme]

If they do go back, teachers should teach behind glass, no contact with kids. Kids eat outside and social distancing as best as possible. Temperature checks every morning for entry. No sports.

 

[Rocko]

Huh

26 deaths without school. With school you’re going to see more deaths involving kids and everyone else. Again, I believe that kids in certain places might be able to get back to school in the fall, but it really depends on what we do from now until then.

Keeping schools open is the dumbest thing that can possibly be done. This is a very infectious virus that easily spreads from person to person. Sure they are finding kids are not that effected by it, but think who they are carrying this virus to? Parents? Grandparents? Senior citizens?

140,000 dead and counting. Opening schools will skyrocket the death count, doesn't sound like a very bright idea to me.

 

[rightwinger]

It all comes down to containing the disease

Kids are known to spread diseases

 

[CowboyTed]

Kids didn't get because they were not in schools, they didn't go out, parents generally like to keep the children safe and will take risks themselves...

So could someone tell us how many kids and teachers (and other staff) deaths should be acceptable loss for reopening schools...

Just give us those numbers, we will check them against the scientists and we can ask parents which one wants to risk there children's lives?

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

WRONG!
That is the REPORTED death toll.
But because you're a mortal Moron, let me remind you......

The CDC and most hospitals in Blue states decided to lump ALL deaths under the COVID 19 umbrella. Now, why would they do that?
For the exact same reason they would accuse Trump of Russian collusion.
The economy was doing fantastic and the Dems and Chinese came up with a "Get rid of Trump scheme" and called it COVID19

The ACTUAL COVID19 death toll is still most likely BELOW the seasonal flu count. Maybe 50k - 60k at this point.

ALL THE OTHER DEATHS were underlying mortality causes such as heart disease etc.

Every time some left tard likes to claim the covid19 death toll as some outrageous inflated number,
without ANY consideration of mitigating circumstances, you know you've found another parroting moron.

Damn straight....I agree

If everyone would wear masks, social distance and practice good hygiene
we can shut down not only SARS Cov 2 but the common cold and influenza

I mean shit, why should anyone think a vaccine is the answer to SARS COV 2
Vaccines haven't prevented Influenza yet

The common cold accounts for more visits to the doctor than any other condition
and is the leading cause of absences from school and work than any other illness each year.
On average adults get 2-4 colds every year and children 6-8 colds every year

Actually, gloves should be mandatory and using cash should be eliminated
Do you know how many germs reside on money

​

Stop Stealing Our Children’s Youth In The Name Of Their Grandparents​

​

For those who don’t get the outrage, let me try to put it in simple terms.​

​

Yes, COVID-19 is dangerous, especially to our elderly population and those who are high-risk. Yes, there will be some young, healthy people who die from COVID, as is true with the 38,000 people who die from car accidents each year, or the 2,000 children who died last year from cancer.​

​

As of June 17, 26 American children under the age of 15 have died from COVID. That is not a misprint: 26 children under the age of 15. By comparison, in the first six months of this year, an estimated 122 children under the age of 15 died from the flu, 536 children died in car accidents, and another 349 died in pool drownings. I don’t hear anyone saying we should stop putting kids in cars or letting them swim in pools.​

​

We are stealing our children’s youth and ultimately will be stealing their adulthood, because they will lack the education and social skills to succeed, and we are saddling them with a greater and greater amount of debt as we destroy our economy. Disrupting schooling also forces parents to try to homeschool their children and work their job at the same time.​

​

The effects will be more pronounced in poor communities that lack the technical infrastructure to allow children to access and be successful in distance learning. For the social justice warriors who have understandably been working for equal opportunity in society, this is the sword to die on.​

​

Every person I know in his 70s—every single one—says kids should go back to school. I cannot imagine a single grandparent in this country who would not sacrifice isolating himself for the next six months so his grandchildren can have the joy of playing tag with their friends on the playground or dissecting a frog with their lab partners.​

​

Yes, teachers are at greater risk than students. Doctors and nurses, many of whom are also high risk, continue to go to work every day treating actual COVID patients because that is their job. Individuals working in meat plants are keeping America fed, often under dangerous working circumstances.​

​

Workers put themselves at risk by stocking the shelves at the supermarkets to ensure Americans survive. I cannot imagine teachers not willing to make the same sacrifices. Behind ensuring Americans have food, ensuring our children are well educated is a very close second in top priorities as a society.​

​

You are an American, and you have the following choice every single day: if you are not comfortable with the progression of COVID, you should isolate yourself. Everyone else, put on your mask and practice good social distancing, but it is time to get back to work and life.​

How many die doesn't matter.
The left wants us to think that COVID-19 deaths are the only deaths that matter.
Maybe next year they'll start giving a shit about gun deaths.....but we can't right now....cuz the push is maximizing COVID-19 deaths.....well.....not deaths.......but positive test results....even if 99.99999% of them aren't even sick.
