Daycare strikes me as the greatest place to spread covid, especially given how asymptomatic kids can be with it.

yeah I basically don't want him going back until poo poo is _over_. unfortunately I'm not convinced that there will ever be an actual "over" this time so idk wtf. at least he has another year of preschool before starting kindergarten so there's some time to let things shake out before it starts to really matter

public communal schooling is over betsy devos has a pulsating 11" boner over the thought of creating a system where the only kids to get a professional education have parents that can pay $45k a year other nations will soon follow learn 2 homeschool not even joking

the "joke" is that lead paint caused the predicament we're in now but I think that if things don't turn around in the next couple years and anything is left of America in a couple generations what passes for "smart" in the wastes will make your average 2020 qanon chud look like a loving brain surgeon imagine what happens after two generations of magas homeschooling their children and their grandchildren, holy poo poo

One case that sticks out in my head was that in one family that meant the girls basically didn’t get an education beyond learning housework before being married off to their fathers like 38 year old friend

even here in nz where we’ve had one new case in a couple weeks or something and we’re close to being back to normal my mum complains about how the lockdown has tanked the economy.. like what would have happened if we didn’t lock down? it’d be tanked but also more death? or complaining about how we’ve given so many people money that are now out of a job but how are we gonna pay it back but like, who cares it’s better solution to being homeless? how to be envious of America but also pity America at the same time

An unreasonably high amount of people would accept 3% or more of the world dying to save their personal finances, and this transcends class. Like I want to say it's more common in rich people but I have no evidence to back it up at all

apparently kids are not just asymptomatic but also pretty ineffective at transmitting the disease. we’ve opened schools more than 2 weeks ago here (only elementary and younger) and have seen pretty much no repercussion on infection rates at this point.

yeah, was hard to know at the start, but seems at least school closures likely were a mistake. it does reduce spread a little bit, but that is offset by trapping a bunch of what may be essential (whether labeled as such or not) personnel at home.

except for that thing where covid might trigger a systemic inflammation in kids that looks a lot like kawasaki disease but no, let's just throw them all back in the ball pit what could go wrong?

a few months is fine obviously, since the year is over anyway. no populace will stand for a 100% lockdown for 18 months though, and to keep some obviously less necessary stuff locked down (e.g. public gatherings, restaurants, pubs, etc.) you have to try to use the available information to relieve pressure where possible. some rational credibility in the process etc. i am not a decision-maker and either way promise to not kill your kids though.

you don’t need a lockdown for 18 months, you need a very good lockdown for like six weeks and use that time to produce ppe, contact tracing, quarantine procedures, etc. then let people out with social distancing guidelines. you can burn the virus out. the US ofc has done the worst possible thing which is to half rear end every step of that
