From the most recent Ben Shapiro Op-Ed:
“As of late April, of the 37,308 deaths recorded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, just 1,036 [2.8%] were people under the age of 45, and just 51 [one tenth of one percent] were below the age of 25. Even among younger populations, the vast majority of deaths were people with underlying conditions.”
So what do you suppose the percentage would be of healthy children ages 5-18? Approximately ZERO?
Where is the perspective here? Is there no public official in America who can balance the harm of shutting down the schools for EVERYBODY against the microscopic possibility of a few deaths (children who are "compromised" will be kept home regardless) in the COUNTRY?
I realize, the death of that one kid in the entire country, will be FRONT PAGE NEWS in the New York Fucking Times, but really...
We elect people to executive positions with the expectation that they will make the difficult decisions rationally, promoting the best possible outcome for all Americans. They have FAILED US SPECTACULARLY in this instance.
