Wait and see......and the sheep will follow.

There are 45 million U.S. children in pre-K, kindergarten, elementary, or middle school.

Only 28 children aged 1-15 have died of #COVID19. Not 28 million—28

 

[StevieRay]

we *know* that the risk of children dying of #COVID19 is comparable to, or much lower than, dying of influenza/pneumonia

Every death from #COVID19 is a tragedy. But that doesn't mean we should keep schools closed. In 2009-10, 317 U.S. children died in a major swine flu pandemic. We didn't close schools in 2009-10

German researchers believe that "children may even act as a brake on infection. " A Univ. of Münster study suggests that hospitalized patients in regular contact w/ children were much less likely to need to go to the ICU

Watch the loons from NY change their tunes.....its coming.

They are already wheedling for mostly (or all) remote, online learning in NYC; the teachers' unions
are running amuck trying to get their members paid for doing almost nothing. Phony "health/safety"
issues are being cited, but of course they had MONTHS to raise these concerns. Huge concessions have
already been granted and these leech unions keep demanding more. They should NEVER again say that
their students are their #1 priority. It's very obvious that they are not.

But as the nation's children prepare to return to the classroom, many schools are taking matters into their own hands -- by chopping up the furniture.

In our area in Pa, you can do either, in person or remote from home .......several relatives that have college students will be doing remote from home.

You would be correct...

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer admitted Friday that regardless of any other COVID-19 relief efforts, the economy won't be able to recover unless the schools are opened, according to The Hill.
