@Remittancegirl What they say is that evidence showed kids tolerating the disease extremely well, so they would get some sniffles and be fine.
The vulnerable that they live with is more of an argument.
But it is fair to say that it was irrational to keep kids out of schools since the risk was so low to them.
@volkris @Remittancegirl Yeah, what are a few dead kids more or less, or orphaned ones whose parents died of COVID. We'reall going to die a yway, right Jodie, and the foster care system is perfectly capable of handling a couple hundred thousand more kids.
@jhavok this is one of those cases where the real world doesn't give any perfect solutions, only trade-offs, yeah people will die, but people will die whatever you choose. It's not like you can wave a magic wand and there won't be death. That is not an option in the real world.
The issue is that a whole lot of people were harmed due to politicians seeming to suggest that they could make a choice that would avoid death, which was always a false promise.
What are a few dead kids? Unfortunate reality. There's no choice to not have death. We need to be adults and recognize that, and tell the politicians who seem to promise that snake oil to buzz off.
Unfortunately, we reelected them. We chose this.
@volkris @Remittancegirl You already made yourself clear, no need to reiterate your cold-blooded calculus.
@volkris
I’m sure with all your extensive experience dealing with once in a century pandemics, you would have done so much better.
"What are a few dead kids? Unfortunate reality.”
Wow. You’re a fucking piece of work.
Please get your diseased brain off my timeline.
