It was none of these things. It was one of the key parts of the pandemic response we developed during the Bush Administration. We got lucky that COVID was easier on kids, but that doesn't mean the next pandemic-causing illness will be. Kids are germ factories and schools are petri dishes.Quote:

Feel free to show the spreader incidents from school. I'll keep sucking in air while you scramble for some straw if that.Quote:

Children or teens were the source of SARS-CoV-2 in about one in 13 Ontario households between June and December 2020, the study shows. Researchers from Public Health Ontario analyzed health records from 6,280 households with a pediatric COVID-19 case and a subset of 1,717 households in which a child up to age 17 was the source of transmission in a household.
In analyzing the data, they controlled for gender differences, month of disease onset, testing delay, and mean family size.
Took me 30 seconds. You want me to find more?Quote:
Several studies conducted early during the COVID-19 pandemic suggested that the incidence rate among children and adolescents was lower than among adults.9, 10, 18-23 However, the lower incidence rates may have been due in part to children, when compared to adults, having fewer opportunities for exposure (due to school, daycare, and activity closures) and a lower probability of being tested.17 Studies that have systematically tested children and adolescents, irrespective of symptoms, for acute SARS-CoV-2 infection (using antigen or RT-PCR assays) or prior infection (through antibody testing) have found their rates of infection can be comparable, and in some settings higher, than in adults.12, 15, 24-29
Children and adolescents can also transmit SARS-CoV-2 infection to others. Early during the COVID-19 pandemic, children were not commonly identified as index cases in household or other clusters9, 10 largely because schools and extracurricular activities around the world were closed or no longer held in-person. However, outbreaks among adolescents attending camps, sports events, and schools have demonstrated that adolescents can transmit SARS-CoV-2 to others.11, 14, 30 Furthermore, transmission studies that have examined secondary infection risk from children and adolescents to household contacts who are rapidly, frequently, and systematically tested demonstrate that transmission does occur.29, 31
You're certainly more than adept at sucking in....something.Quote:

That can be easily said in hindsight. Thwy had to face somethjng they didnt see before. They took precaution. Though I think they prolonged going back to normal once data suggested the death rate wasn't significant higher than other diseases.Quote:

The school opening dates spread from the beginning of August to late September across counties, where hybrid teaching is more common than remote or in-person teaching (SI Appendix, Fig. S4K). Reflecting the steady increase in cases from late September to November of 2020 in the United States (SI Appendix, Fig. S4B), the growth rates of cases and deaths, as well as the number of weekly confirmed cases and deaths, are higher in the period after the school opening compared to the period before. As shown in Table 1, this rise in cases and deaths after the school opening is more pronounced in the counties with in-person or hybrid teaching than in those with remote teaching. K–12 school and workplace visits are also higher after the school openings than before, especially for counties with in-person and hybrid school openings.

“Just about a month ago, we had about 98 percent of the students in this country attending school in person, and omicron has brought about just a huge reversal in that process. And all of a sudden we’re seeing infection rates skyrocket,” he said, “It’s affecting children much more than previous variants, so children are getting sick. Staff is getting sick, and it’s just a spread that’s alarming.”
Something he's also argued against even during the earlier stages of the pandemic. Masks in schools. He's just full of doozies.Quote:
