Ok Mr. Public Health. Everyone that reads your posts knows that you are lying.
Pretty troubling that in 2019 the numbers were well under half. It’s appalling what they are today.
Exactly. This is a significant unintended consequence. And unfortunately, the disadvantaged suffer even more. We want everyone to have an equal opportunity but here’s a situation where we have created a greater learning gap. Sad.
So you’re acknowledging what I said, that, to protect children you need closures. Assuming of course they need to be protected from the virus.They werent isolated but they were much more protected then than now plus most kids in Florida wore masks most of the last year and half so there is that.
Add in the fact that masks work best to protect others not the actual wearer…unless they are fitted pediatric n95 type masks which do not exist for kids.
This isn’t the original strain, at least 2x more transmissible and scary enough for CDC, and others drastically switch guidelines.
Can’t say virtually no deaths and hospitalizations when there have been so there is a number of death and hospitalizations you are ok with so kids won’t be required to wear those damn “unamerican”masks which are their best bet prevent infection save they get a vaccine approved for them.
FYI, pediatric hospitalizations in Florida are now dramatically growing (highest in under 12). Let me know when they reach your threshold of an acceptable amount of hospitalizations before schools should be allowed to protect kids as much as possible with inperson schooling.
Florida children’s hospitals see pediatric COVID-19 cases soar
The number of new COVID-19 hospitalizations among children is rising in Florida as the state faces a surge in cases due in part to the spread of the highly transmissible delta variant of the c…thehill.com
Nope. I said they protect others more than the user especially if they aren’t fitted N95 masks.
Happiness?
We should do our best to keep kids in school. Going remote and virtual school is not a good outcome kids to be in, loss of social aspect, parents with jobs and loss of income.
I don’t think you are following. I want my kids, and all kids for that matter, in inperson school.
Agree. As I've said all along, let's monitor the data on children and adjust accordingly. Watching News Nation last night, they interviewed a physician in an ER in Louisiana and she said observationally, there were many adolescent inpatients with comorbidities, but she did not have any more specific data.
That’s exactly what they had to do, forced to stay home, 40% of school sick so they stayed home. This is so great right? Way better than simply wearing a mask 😳.
I think you’re wrong to the extent you think a mask worn by a 10 year old kid-never mind a 5 year old-is going to protect them. Question, did Murphy mandate vax for teachers?
Disagree it reduces transmission
Absolutely, Mayo Clinic is much more credible than CNN. They recommended masks in schools too. This Mayo talks about how we did this to ourselves by more people’s not getting vaccinated and wearing masks.
So you think masks don’t reduce transmission but you think it slows what exactly?
Agree we need to watch
we don’t differ all that much although you like to write things in an adversarial manner
If children are your priority I’m surprised you don’t know if the people in regular contact with your kids are required to be vaxed
I don’t live in Jersey anymore.
My feeling is pretty strong that if you are not vaccinated as a healthcare worker, you are in the wrong line of work.
