This whole viral thread being used by alarmists to claim kids are at some enormous risk from Delta is complete nonsense.
The claims are insane. 50% infection rate in 30 days when infection rates in schools were lower than in surrounding communities throughout the pandemic?

Sso tired of watching dishonest lunatics (alarmists and anti-vaxxers) manipulate people with numbers. The whole point of this thread is to advocate for a ridiculous and extremely harmful policy proposal of shutting down in-person school by abusing the data

We know these claims aren't close to accurate. LA just have 5 weeks of summer school and saw an infection rate of 0.4% and only 0.03% of those happened in schools... while she is relying on projections of 50%: hotair.com/allahpundit/20…
The reality is that Delta is far more contagious and kids will make up a larger share of cases given that many adults are vaccinated, but the data still suggests Covid-19 is low risk for young children and in-person school is very safe: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
Just to give more context to numbers in this ridiculous thread. The entire state of Texas has had ~5800 child Covid hospitalizations in the last year (Aug 2020-Aug 2021). She is claiming we will see that many daily moving forward.
