Stop talking about percents. Let's talk about dead children.
57 million kids attend schools.
Assume a ridiculously low infection rate of 2% - that's 1,140,000 children sick. Assume a death rate of 0.5%. That's almost 6,000 dead children. Like two 9/11s, with just kids.../1

...now, we HAVE to assume numbers, because these idiots have no studies to figure out what infection rate will likely be in the middle of a HUGE outbreak, which no other country had on opening schools. So, let's change up the assumptions.../2
...assume a more reasonable infection rate of 20%, since these kids will be exposed like no one else has been.
Thats 11.4 MILLION infected children.
And let's drop the death rate really, really low - 1/10th of 1 percent.
That's 11,400 dead children. 11,400 small coffins..../3

...how many school shootings is that? Make them massive school shootings - it's 570 massive school shootings. It's almost four 9/11s, with children.

...I'd almost prefer to send my kids into space - at least there is SOME effort of protection - rather than send them to school in the middle of a massive outbreak with no plans.
Will there be funding for masks? For hand soap? How do you keep kids apart? What about teachers?../5

...psychopath @SecAzar says "Medical personnel are safe in hospitals" he is showing the abject stupidity and disregard of this administration. First, hospitals have tested, long standing procedures for dealing with infectious diseases. Schools don't. They know what equipment../6
...they need - even though this goddamn administration has been incompetent at providing them. The CDC has strategies - & the white house says "IGNORE THAT!"
Topping it off - 1000s of medical personnel have been infected. Huge numbers have died. And @SecAzar doesn't even.../7

...know that.
We STILL dont know the long term effects of infection - we know it causes organ damage, neurological damage, lung lesions, in even the asymptomatic. Does that hold true for kids? WE DON'T KNOW! This is all one big lab experiment on our nation's children.../8

...if the administration does not abide by the recommendation of the @CDC and the @AmerAcadPeds we are simply gambling out children's lives on the assurances of the "15 cases to zero" "hoax" "99% no problem" "it will magically vanish" "use disinfectant" people.
