The statements of "It's just a 2-3% fatality rate" always just. blow my mind. In our overcrowded schools (just as an easily-digested example) that's already one kid per three classrooms. An entire section of a 10000-seat stadium. Where the gently caress did we go so wrong.

I don't think people understand how many people 2-3% of the population is. If they used a "real" number, 6-9 million people, it might be different.

ASAPI posted:I think it comes from two different things: The general defense is that they meant a 2-3% increase in total mortality, not 2-3% of schoolchildren dead. So still 700-1000 extra deaths these ghouls are calling for, with plenty of room to go up.

People in Vancouver are doing it every 7PM and people have graduated from yelling and hitting pots and pans to using airhorns and setting off firecrackers. The closest hospital to me is over 3km away and behind a hill.

The only reason Oprah isn't president is because she doesn't want to be. I'd make a joke about how terrible that would be but honestly she'd be a step up from our current options

Zamujasa posted:The statements of "It's just a 2-3% fatality rate" always just. blow my mind. Deja vu. The problem is Twitter. The problem is that people don't read the articles, and we especially don't read the peer reviewed math-heavy loving boring ones. And the problem is that the primary method of discussing complicated socio-economic ideas is by owning each other in quick snippets posted online and then taking them back to our socia media echo chambers to all smugly agree about how dumb or soft or evil those other guys are. And we're all doing it, myself included. That paper refers to a set of models for which the entire act of closing schools as reducing mortality across the UK 2-3%. So firstly, reopening schools, based on those models would be a value less than that, since that model assumed no action was taken. Second, the models have flipped so much I'm not super confident that those predictions are incredibly accurate. And third, the article the oft-quoted charlatan (Dr. Oz) is referring to: a. compares a number of socioeconomic factors and outcomes resulting from this that we don't have good data on, including reduced access to support structures that are often used to deliver necessary medical aid to children (i.e. vaccinations, mental health counseling), public screening for abuse (no teacher to ask where kids got those marks or why suddenly they don't want to talk in class), access to nutritional resources (school lunches) and access to specialized training for neuroatypical children, disabled children, and children with mental health conditions. b. cites how long term school closings in other situations have resulted in increases in child sexual assault, child labor, and students not returning to school afterwards. c. goes on to explain some of the advantages the closings will have on long term resilience and self-sufficiency for coming generations. and d. advocates that we include the outcomes and opinions of young people in our appraisal of the situation. I have no idea if Dr. Oz's point is appropriately nuanced. I suspect it isn't, but when a medium that tries to shovel ideas into the mouths of hungry consumers fast and quick (cable news), gets regurgitated and redistributed in a manner to reduce that nuance even further, I expect we're losing at least something of the picture. There is an important point to consider that at some point, the accrued risk from a lack of vaccinations, hampered education especially among the economically disenfranchised, reduced health outcomes that will spark comorbidity in future health crises, and the abuse of children may outweigh the risk avoided by continuing to keep schools closed. My intuition is that we're not there yet and we should not open schools yet. But eventually, not only may there be an outcome, but there will be if you close schools indefinitely. And while nobody (correction: few) argue to abolish public schools, we're not exactly clear on what an end state looks like. People on this subforum especially know what happens when nations get in giant resource-intensive engagements that result in human suffering and cost both treasure and lives without without defined objectives or exit strategies. If we don't include in our models these other costs, we may hurt or kill more people but feel good about it because we were doing something, instead of doing research.
