My point, basically, was that I did everything all you fat slob losers are terrified of doing and everything was just fine.  Weird that I had to spell it out for you, but OK.  You can all go back to your regularly scheduled fear mongering and doomsday predictions.  

Well yeah. The vast majority of people will be just fine. Hell, during the bubonic plague most people were fine. The problem is, ignoring the fact that we're in a pandemic keeps the pandemic going because just enough people will get infected to keep the virus spreading. 

But yes, you've proven that most people will survive this just fine. As humans have done, so far, since the beginning of our existence.

There are some differences, but not enough to explain away what's going on.

Trump has not really tried. That the bottom line. He just wants to wish it away.

He's a child.

I wont disagree on trump but that doesnt make for the fantasy science to be any better

trump isngping to get slaughtered in nov so there’s really little upside in emotional petulance, but feelings is about all the left has

What we really need to do is start calling it Freedom Fried Rice. That'll show China we mean business.

Free Hong Kong Fried Rice should push us into a war for sure.

We should one-up China's police state by sending our own secret police to major U.S. cities.  That'll show 'em.

Walmart stores and Sam’s Club locations will operate normal hours on Wednesday, Nov. 25. Information for store and club hours on Friday, Nov. 27, will be shared at a later date.

It'll be interesting what Walmart decides to do for Black Friday

No matter what someone accomplishes in life, no matter how well they treat people, no matter what type of great legacy they leave for generations to come...........I could never respect a fellow man that throws a baseball like this.

Florida's positivity rate is now at 13.62% as the state's number of COVID-19 cases reaches 369,834.

Miami-Dade County, which includes Miami, and Bay County, which includes Panama City, are especially hard hit.

Miami-Dade County has a positivity rate of 19.2% while Bay County's positivity rate stands at 24.4%

The "science" here unfortunately shows that that the age cut off is somewhere around 10 when they start to spread like adults. It's not the best data either. 

Seems to me that the overwhelming amount of research that's been done on this topic suggests that kids are worse off staying home than going back.  Even during the pandemic.  If you disagree, please cite you're source.  

After all, I thought we were supposed to "follow the science"....isn't that what you guys always say?

What does "worse off" mean in this instance?  Kids in abusive homes?  I've seen some people cite domestic abuse, suicide, etc., but that's not the norm.  I'd say if you're a stable, non-abusive parent, the dangers are greater in sending your kid to school than keeping them out.

i'm sure we'll get the fox news answer but i believe most of the claims have to do with lack of socialization.

It's a minority of students but the consequences can be severe.  The reality is for kids with mental health issues/depression that have suicidal tendencies, they are often safer in school than they are at home.  Teachers and counselors are trained to notice red flags and elevate them for intervention.  Also, it's not uncommon for parents to suffer from the same mental health issues that their child does, meaning behaviors that would raise a red flag at school might not register with their parent/family.

Making vague unsubstantiated claims about "the overwhelming amount of research" then asking others to "cite their sources" is a bit laughable, but sure here ya go.  Large study out of Korea. Not perfect but by far the most powerful study to date:

https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/10/20-1315_article

Household transmission was lower in 0-9 but in the 10-19 it spiked again. Concern being those rates could jump even higher in both once schools open up again.  Michael Osterholm, arguably the biggest epidemiologic expert in the US has said: "I fear that there has been this sense that kids just won’t get infected or don’t get infected in the same way as adults and that, therefore, they’re almost like a bubbled population.There will be transmission, what we have to do is accept that now and include that in our plans.”

For the record, I'm not totally against schools reopening in some capacity. But it has to be done smartly, and even still there are very likely going to be significant effects because of it that need to be monitored.

If it's locking your kid in a box for six months vs. sending him to school, then sure, but most people interact with friends and neighbors.  Unless Republicans don't do that anymore, they just rage online all day while emptying out their bank accounts in order to join Trump's Reelection Task Force.  That's certainly a possibility.
