    That is NOT the headline that PARENTS want to see!

    Unfortunately that number of children is going to become SIGNIFICANTLY higher in the next month.

    Reopening schools is going to drive the 3rd wave/surge.

    The FAILURE to get the virus UNDER control FIRST is UNFORGIVABLE.

    There is NOTHING good about this topic because it is just a WARNING that things are about to get even WORSE.

    It does NOT matter that children are less likely to die for those parents whose kids end up dead.

    This is BAD NEWS for everyone and I sincerely wish that it was otherwise.

    Children are going to DIE because of this INSANE reopening of schools while a Pandemic is still RAGING out of control across the nation.

    I cannot imagine the toll on our healthcare workers when they are caring for children NEEDLESSLY stricken down.

    We COULD have implemented VIRTUAL schooling because we HAVE the technology.

    Reopening schools was probably the DUMBEST of all of the endless MISTAKES that have occurred to date.

    I don't have a question but I do want to open this up so that those who have children and those who care about children will have a place to express their thoughts and feelings.

    Take care and stay safe.

    I wonder why there are any school children left at all in Sweden?

    How could there be anybody left standing in Sweden? They have done everything Anthony said not to do, but somehow they are still alive and kicking. Those naughty Swedes!

    My grandaughter's cheer squad tested positive about a month ago. None of them knew it and all lived in a home with family where none of the others tested positive. No symptoms, none of the complications, all back at cheer after a two week quarantine at home.

    Glad to hear that worked out so well for all concerned.

    Doing some further research it appears that the mortality risk to children is on a par with the Flu. That would be acceptable except for the much higher INFECTION rate of Covid19.

    But then there are the other syndromes to consider.

    The whole time I wonder what is the meaning or purpose of this sudden realization that children are far less affected by COVID-19 than others.
    This is not new, has not been hidden in any way and has been general knowledge since the virus broke out!

    The point is that children can still get the virus, often not or only slightly ill from it ... BUT ... like everyone else from the time they are infected, they can infect other people.
    So when it comes to fighting the demonized mask requirement and finding that children don't have to wear a mask in school etc. ... then the parents, especially the grandparents and possibly other relatives and acquaintances, will thank them when they get through the child be infected and become seriously ill!
    But I know that there are so many morons running around who have not yet got the reason in their little brains why a mask requirement is given ...

    There are a lot of idiotic conspiracy theories in the world, including with COVID-19 ... and the most idiotic one I've read in this context is this:

    It's all a conspiracy by Soros, Bill Gates, the WHO, the Chinese, Russians and the Deep State to use the virus to tackle overpopulation and especially to let the elderly die prematurely!

    Anyone who believe this BS, really belongs into psychiatry ... this is not a matter of freedom of speech anymore, it is a medical issue of a damaged brain!
