The propaganda is ramping up to pressure admin to open schools. It's based on an interpretation where they look at an exceptional single case in rural wisconsin and ignore the preponderance of evidence about the ability of spread in schools elsewhere.

It's not safe or just to put people in classrooms where they risk long covid, variants, and do not have vaccine protection. If you want kids in classrooms fund the trials and get kids a vaccine. China is doing it. Get with the program! reuters.com/article/us-hea…
putting children in situations where 1/X of them have reactions like this is unfair. We can judge a society by how they treat the infirm, yes, but how about the society which also protects the so called 'least vulnerable?' Covid-19 is not only an acute huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/long-cov…
illness- these people have a long time to live with whatever unforeseen consequences are in store. So if you want kids in school fast- protect them with a vaccine. If you care about inequality- get them food, mobile internet, and a computer.
A sweeping policy that packs kids- representatives of their families- together in rooms with an aerosol BSL-3 grade pathogen is ridiculous. Ask any virologist if they'd stick their head under a hood with the petri dish despite wearing a mask. How quick we overlook safety
standards to return to the status quo!
More propaganda parade that 'kids are less likely to catch covid-19.' With open schools they are far more likely to catch it.

Funny, they move from absolute risk to relative risk in a different context when it behooves them. Should we remind them of the positivity rates in Texas among schoolchildren? NEGLIGENT. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
