Despite Trump’s pressure, most Americans think it is unsafe to reopen schools: Reuters poll

Despite the latest medial interventions for the critically ill seemingly to have reduced the fatality rate it would also seem  premature  to  go on claiming the death rate  has permanently gone down when these  new massive  record levels of infection spikes are only  just now starting to get close to the stage of illness that result in people succumbing to it.

The  fact that  may hospitals are again at  maximum capacity for  icu will inevitably see a decrease in  "best intervention" which sadly can only  result in  higher  mortality.

If 3 out of 4 who object to schools opening then given the  obvious escalation of infection any  "directive" from POTUS can only  be considered deliberate and dangerous  if attempted !

So would you object to a area in a state which has very little effect of the emergence  to take a safe approach to getting back to school

  • Paraphrasing James Carville,,,   "It's NOT the economy, stupid."   No clue why trump is pushing so hard on this school thing? Seems like his "political" gut is failing him.

    Send the little brats back to skool and then the parents can go back to filling up them empty offices. Trump is an idiot but he is right about opening the economy and schools up.

Is your country one of the ones being taught by 10 year olds ! According to these experts they are saying teaching online can be detrimental especially for disadvantage children because  the parent can't be involved all the time while working !

So if and when  some of these  children who take Covid-19 home  to parents  who then  can potentially  die what then  for the  children?

Sudden increase in  single parent  families  or  even a demand  for  new  State  orphanages !

It is  not for me to object. I now have no children to  need to consider that. But if still a custodial parent I would expect  to retain the right  to not send  my  children in  a  higher  level of risk due to the POTUS  calling  for ALL schools  to  reopen.

That JAMA article was published when it looked like the virus was being brought under control. Before Trump urged states to "liberate" themselves. Too many of them heeded his call.

Follow this science

"The science is very clear on this, that — you know, for instance, you look at the JAMA Pediatrics study of 46 pediatric hospitals in North America that said the risk of critical illness from COVID is far less for children than that of seasonal flu".

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/press-briefing-press-secretary-kayleigh-mcenany-7-16-2020/

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/2766113

There are way more than 46 pediatric hospitals in USA, to quote a study based on only 46 is misleading at the very least, especially when it does not show the locations of the 46 hospitals and the prevailing infection/mortality rates in that geographical area at the time of survey.

But, as I read last night, the White House is instructing hospitals to send infection data directly to them rather than the CDC, so they will be able to construct data to prove any political position they want very shortly.

The risk may not be to the children but to the vulnerable and at risk adults they come into contact with.  Cherry picking scientific data to validate a political position that, according to science, puts peoples lives at risk is rather pathetic.

If people object that's fine thats their choice,their children  will be subject to risks as well as mentioned in the study. 

But what about the people  who disagree with you and many others, especially in areas that haven't seen a dramatic increase

Is that what trump is demanding?


That states make their own decisions on school opening based upon the rate of infection in their state?


Because I’m ok with that, letting states make their own decisions on opening schools based upon the situation in their state.

 

Or is he demanding all open regardless?

In the  lower incidence  areas  are those  that want schools open  a significant  majority or  a minoriy?

Most  interpretations  of democratic principles  suggest  the majority opinion is  the norm. Especially in the  face of  a dictate !

Even when the infectious disease  experts say it depends on the area without mentioning  (democratic principles ) in their comments! I guess you and many others have made a decision for many who see another side to it.

Ok

It is in many  not all areas  !  So that jama article would be ok with that! Many other top infectious disease people would be ok with opening of schools and the risk involved with guidelines on safety

And so would the schools if they can open safely. But with Ms DeVos refusing to say 'it is safe' not many schools will believe it is safe. Also Trump's reasoning 'we have to open schools so parents can go to work and the economy can restart' is not exactly reassuring regarding safe school opening.

Is this for the benefit of the children? Or, is it just a callous reaction to help re-elect Trump so he can avoid a jump-suit that matches his complexion?

Knowing his record of child treatment, I'm inclined to believe the latter.

Besides, the economy and education won't resume until people feel safe and that time hasn't been reached, yet.

If cherry picking scientific data shows how to open schools in areas's together with experts that don't  have  a political agenda ,would that be ok

A great number of teachers are over 50. They are at risk. The child gets it at school, brings it home, it goes to work with their parents, parents bring it home and back to school it goes.

It implies people are not going to send their kids to school, no matter what Trump and De Vos mandate. 

You can't force people to go out and shop/eat/drink either, if they feel unsafe.

Didn't the Trump team absorb the lesson from Tulsa?

I doubt you have any school age children. Those germ factories WILL bring the virus back home. This is not debatable, some children will become infected, particularly as the US has allowed to set itself on fire with Covid-19 due to so many selfish people ignoring science. How many parents will die, leaving behind orphans who then become wards of the state?

 

The majority of countries who are currently successful FIRST got a handle on the virus, THEN opened up cautiously. It is also not debatable that 45 and his administration have repeatedly downplayed the virus and pushed most dangerously to get back to "normal." This has backfired in a most shameful exhibition of hubris.

Not one person on this planet has said they don't want children back in class. What every parent is weighing on their minds is how 45 has, to date, over 20,000 lies to his credit, so how much can they trust the lives of their most cherished to the lies of a man interested only in making himself look good in an election year?

If states want to go back safely ,does that mean in your eyes ,it shouldn't be allowed. Some experts use this as part of a guide

Because you don't seem knowledgeable about this issue or have any young school children effecting how you think. I will share what you seem to be missing out. My  eight year old did online schooling as offered here in her Saraphi  school district. Logged in and spent hours and hours of classwork during all of June. School here has returned as of July first. No local transmissions here now for fifty days. Does any of this sound anything like what is happening in most all of the US? NO!!!
