Thank you for the feedback

St Edwards Catholic in Chillicothe is set to open August 12th, full student load 5 days a week. It already IS happening.

You're welcome for my feedback which corrects your nonsense comment that schools won't open LovelyRita. Watch and see what public schools do. I bet at least half of them are open 5 days a week full student load. I hope I'm wrong though and it turns out to be 100% of them.

Awesome! I hope kids get back to the classroom as soon as possible. My view isn't nonsense.

I hope families with college students have plans B, C and D lined up!

I think this is much easier a feat to pull off with adults, in college. However, when it comes to children just starting their journey of education, like in primary school, online-only is not in their best interest. Children are still learning basics in primary school. Language, as an example, is a social skill that doesn't come naturally. It must be taught and imitation is key. Lacking these social supports will have devastating consequences for generations to come.

not to mention kids don't spread this. according to the science. Right Rita? You follow the science dontcha?

Wrong again. Children can get and spread the virus the same as adults. However, children don't seem to get as sick. Except when they do...

The American Academy of Pediatricians disagrees with the CDC. Since the CDC has been notoriously wrong and changed it's advice 180 degrees several times in the past few months, :m not inclined to believe them. You recommending it serves to seal the deal for me. It's likely wrong advice based on fear and ignorance of what the real facts are.

From your own source:

Although many questions remain, the preponderance of evidence indicates that children and adolescents are less likely to be symptomatic and less likely to have severe disease resulting from SARS-CoV-2 infection. In addition, children may be less likely to become infected and to spread infection. Policies to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 within schools must be balanced with the known harms to children, adolescents, families, and the community by keeping children at home.

Children can be infected with coronavirus. Children can spread coronavirus. Children don't get as sick, unless they do. They may be LESS LIKELY to spread.

That's different than being unable to spread.
