The real reason Democrats wont allow children back to school:

[Ray From Cleveland]

Trump cultists, good luck with the whole "I DEMAND THAT WE GET TO KILL YOUR CHILDREN!" line. That's going to be real popular with parents.

What they should do is have class and video so the parents that choose not to send their kids to school can watch the teacher at home instead. But I think most parents want their kids back in school because if they don't go, somebody has to stay home and watch them. That's not feasible for most working parents.

 

[kaz]

Because it would reveal they hyped COVID to crash the economy and hurt Trump.

You need to keep searching under the bed and in those closets for the boogeyman. No one wants to see kids not in school. But no administrator is going to hang their jobs and their livelyhood on sending kids back without infection rates going down and strict and clear guidelines from federal and state agencies. No teacher is going to want to go back into the classroom knowing that a kid could get them sick. And parents are not going to want to send their kids back knowing they could come home infected and make other members of their family sick, especially the more vulnerable. Contrary to right wingers popular belief, this virus does affect all age groups.

Al the European countries already have their kids in school. They're following the science, unlike the leftwing douchebags.

Al the European countries already have their kids in school. They're following the science, unlike the leftwing douchebags.

All the European countries have far less virus than we do.
Their positivity rates are all at 1% or less.
The US average is over 10% while some regions are as high as 20%.

Introducing the virus to so many US households is the last thing we should do.

Comparing countries with different methods for counting and collecting coronavirus data as if they are the same is still retarded

Comparing countries with different methods for counting and collecting coronavirus data as if they are the same is still retarded

There's only one way to calculate the positivity rate, dope.
It's simply the rate of positives in a given test sample group. The more positives, the more virus in the community.

You're a waste of time. You're completely ignorant about this

You're a waste of time. You're completely ignorant about this

Sure, dope. Tell us some more about the "different" arithmetic in Europe while I give you the actual numbers. You should be grateful that there are people paying attention while you lose your mind.

Once again showing what an ignorant retard you are.

I've said repeatedly they have different standards for identifying cases and deaths.

You in your half brain dumb ass idiocy think it was arithmetic I said was different.

You're stupid as shit

Wouldn't it be a tragedy if they all went back to school and hundreds of teachers, and children with asthma, and other "pre-existing conditions" got sick. I don't know of ANY parent who is so desperate for their children go back to school that they are prepared risk their children's lives or health to send them back.

Yes and No. Ultimately, the jury is still out because while they think that's the case, they're not 100% sure. And it still doesn't change the fact you can't rule the virus spreading with older children. Not every child who attends school is a first grader.
The point still stands. Lower the virus infection rate, take the necessary precautions and issue the relevant guidelines...and we could get back to something resembling normal..including sending kids back to school.

Older Kids May Transmit COVID-19 as Much as Adults Do, New Evidence Shows

Since the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, scientists and health authorities have often observed that children do not appear to contract and transmit the virus to the same extent as adults.

Many households are check to check families. Government can't support people forever as we are approaching 30 trillion dollars in debt if we don't stop these giveaways. It's a struggle enough for a couple, but how are single parents supposed to stay home if they got called back to work and therefore can't get on unemployment?

If we are to be totally honest, school mostly serves us as a government baby sitter.

The age of children is certainly a good point and I haven't heard much analysis of that. Probably some point around high school it starts to change. Not sure where.

It's a point that HOW limited kids are to death and transmission, but based on what they've observed it's not a question of if at this point. It's not possible with how much they've seen that children are the same.

At least you addressed the point. Thank you.

The fascist school system designed to indoctrinate kids with a fascist political agenda, prostitute girls, and cut off boys, has failed in its mission of evil, and its masters are hard at work to destroy what's left of it.

The COVID-19 virus is some sort of popular belief system. The feared propagation of the virus is only the propaganda of political beliefs hostile to the Establishment.

The virus is some sort of popular belief system? Really? Then how did all those beliefs manage to kill over 143,000 people so far? Why are hospitals in places where the virus is spiking being overrun? Is that all because of a popular belief system?

Have those 143 k been verified...........the definition was made by the CDC to guarantee higher numbers.................If they die from a heat attack but it is ASSUMED they had Covid.......then they can make a judgement call to say it was Covid.

If they call it Covid.......they get extra money from medicare............if they are uninsured......more money from Daddy Gov't...

Now please tell me that the HONORABLE HOSPITALS wouldn't dare mischarge.............

That's fake news, a lie.

There are specific svc guidelines on claiming the death was a covid death, that have to be followed.... it's NOT Willy nilly dilly.

There have been a couple of mistakes, which were corrected.... but that's it....

Everyone in the scientific and medical field make a solid case that COVID deaths are being undercounted.

Educationally, yes. But it is better for younger kids still to be in socially as well. Certainly to your point it'd be far better for parents to have put them in private schools so they can get a real education as well.

Whether kids need to go back to school in the fall (they do) and what schools they are going to go to are important discussions, but they are separate discussions.

What cracks me up is when leftists say schools are terrible, so they don't need to go back!

First, that guidance was issued on April 3, well after many deaths were reported.

Second, just because a written standard is the same doesn't mean that all the medical systems across the entire country implemented it the same way or are even attempting to follow it. Some are, some aren't and everything in between.

And third, it still doesn't include proof that the death was coronavirus related, they are still guessing based on symptoms

On the other side of that coin is the hypocrisy of the right; particularly my favorite cable news network show host, Laura Ingraham. She's constantly telling her audience how kids staying out of school leads to apprehension and depression. How it's mental torture to keep these kids away from their classmates and teachers.

Wait a minute! Before the virus when education came up, people on the right always promoted home schooling. You know, get those kids out of the clutches of those liberal teachers showing kids how to put a condom on a banana, and filling their heads with environmental damage nonsense.

[hadit]

The morning radio show here in Chicago, Dan and Amy talked to a teacher in Sweden........their schools are open, no social distancing, no masks....and they do not have an outbreak in the schools....the only reason that the democrat party teachers unions are pushing the lies to keep the schools closed is to disrupt the economy. They want to hurt Trump in November, and keeping families disrupted because they have to watch their kids at home makes this easier.

And, of course, should Biden manage to win, it all evaporates the next day and suddenly everything is open again and all those now shrieking doom and gloom will be ecstatically proclaiming there was no reason to stay shut down as long as we did.

If you believe that, I've got a bridge in Lower Manhattan for sale..cheap..I swear, I own it.
The elections are a little over 3 months away. If Biden wins, he isn't sworn in until January.
And he will still have to deal with the virus and it's fallout if the present administration doesn't start taking it seriously.

Biden winning won't change the presence of the virus or its effects on the populace. It will, however, change the way it's presented and handled in the media. It will no longer be front page news, there will no longer be death counts, etc.

I'd say home schooling again is a separate discussion in that sure, if parents plan for home schooling and are going to do it. Just like if parents are wise enough to send their kids to private school. But supporting home schooling to me doesn't mean you don't send kids back to school for homes where they aren't going to do it
