@adamrisch kids are low risk of covid. Even if infected they are low risk of transmitting it. This has been known for months. Even the CDC admitted it but changed their stance after teacher unions complained.

@adamrisch teacher unions are complaining as they are getting paid to do nothing. That is wrong. And it is also not based on science. Learning remotely is destroying many kids' lives. Interacting with other kids personally is a great form of learning.

@morganrowell1373 there is no such thing as zero risk in life. At that point just keep your kids at home yourself. Don't destroy other people's lives.

@adamrisch people who die of this virus are at high risk of death to begin with. Life is full of risks, people die all the time. I had a teacher die when I was in school because of a heart attack. So I guess we should ban all forms of in person learning and just have people watch Youtube videos of lessons. Do not interact with anyone as the people you do will eventually die. Also, what does a 6th grader know about the virus? Almost nothing. With everything in life there is a balance. The damage of kids not going to schools is far worse than the virus. Also, I bet those kids come from well off families that have the ability to teach their kids at home. But that is the exception, not the norm. All virtual learning is benefiting are the rich.

@adamrisch I work in public schools as a substitute teacher at times. One day I was working with a group of autistic students. Due to meetings the school schedule was different and one student, who typically had recess with her friends, did not as she was in a different classroom and on a different schedule that day thus did not that day. She cried because she could not hang out with her friends. Now expand that to many students like her year round. That is a problem.

@adamrisch no one is butthurt. People just find those praising this 6th grader as stupid and spoiled. As I said, chances are he is a rich kid from a well off family that has a ton of resources so he does not fall behind in schools. Now what about lower income kids or kids who are at risk or have mental issues? They are getting screwed over. But here you guys are agreeing with some 6th grader as if they know all. It is pathetic on your part really. The reasons why schools are not open because of the teacher unions where teachers are getting paid for doing nothing. That is corruption.

@adamrisch so you admit all these covid restrictions help rich people and hurt the lower and middle class. Goes to show how the left only care about the rich.

@adamrisch teachers are getting paid to do nothing. Kids are missing out on a lot of learning now. Easy for teachers to support the lock downs as they still get a paycheck.

@morganrowell1373 not writing off others, stating the truth. You are writing off the millions who are suffering financially and psychologically so 80 year old grandma does not get the virus but dies anyway due to many other health factors. The fact is there has to be a balance. There will always be damage done to some degree, but we try to do the least damage. The covid restrictions have cause more damage than what the virus would have ever done. "You can't make such a simple sacrifice of some freedom, some discomfort and enjoyment for the sake of other health and safety? " I can say the same about others. Just because you are at risk does not mean I should have to cater to you. It goes both ways. I know many who suffered because of the covid restrictions. I had a student who became depressed and alcoholic because of it. I had a student who had limited internet access and had to do her online test in her car sitting outside of the public library to use their wifi. What about them? Screw them is what you are saying. As for loved ones, their safety depends on you and them. Do not rely on others. Compare it to traffic laws, even with them you still have to be an aggressive driver. I walk to work and have for nearly 10 years. I cross the street where I push a button to cross with flashing lights to warn cars to stop. Even with that I wait to make sure the cars do stop as many times some don't. Why? Because my safety ultimately depend on me. If you or a loved one is scared, you and them can stay home. But when you interact with society you accept a level of risk. People should not be forced to cater to you just like I will not expect you to cater to me.

@morganrowell1373 is financially struggling and living in fear really living? I feel it is not. Also, just giving people checks does not help them psychologically. "Your the kind of person that screams about "your freedom" over the lives of others. " There is a balance. 8000 people die a day on average as is, many situations are avoidable, be we never take drastic measures in the past. Why? Because doing so will cause more damage and also the freedom argument is legit. So many people like you are so afraid of death that you refuse to live life. If you are scared you can stay home, others will live life. "We already have lost almost 600k people" Deaths of covid are highly overstated as most will be dead during the same time frame. 40% of covid related deaths are nursing home patients. According to a UCSF source years prior to covid 50% of new nursing home patients die within 6 months and the average lifespan is a year. So here we are taking drastic measures causing major psychological damage to many young people to someone who is old and/or sick does not die with covid but dies anyway. What have we accomplished at that point? Nothing, we have done a lot of damage though. " We all must work together to prevent the virus from spreading and evolving but you obviously don't care about it or others." You do not care about others as I pointed out many times. You do not care about the psychological issues people are facing now, the many businesses that are shut down forever, the kids who lost a year of schooling, etc. People die all the time. Almost all who died of covid this past year would have been dead anyway. That is a fact. As for the virus evolving, coronaviruses have existed for years, this virus was not novel. That is how a vaccine was able to be developed so quickly because there was research on it from prior years.

What pandemic? Also, cases are near an all time low since we started collecting data.

I see a spoiled kid. At risk kids are suffering because of schools being closed. Also kids are not a risk. Schools should be open

True. The CDC only retracted their statement after teacher unions complained.
