It also indicates none have died. Kids from 5-18 will be doing to school. I don't understand why you're excluding more than half of the student population?

I don't think using inflated numbers is going to help convince people weather schools should be open or not. The worst case scenarios being talked about all of the tide is why no one trusts the numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the signs are positive on a vaccine, many projecting to get one by January. Please explain to me how being in school is worth thousands of kids possibly dying.

No one was making that claim or asking for it - there is, however, a 100% effective way to keep kids from transmitting Covid amongst themselves and their families at school. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that we should send young children to school, and keep the older ones at home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
