Lots have gotten sick and some died. https://www.sciencedaily.com/release...0511142153.htm But they were not living in Corona soup for 8 hours a day. It is a genuine fear. Kids have not been playing in groups, so we do not know how it will play out.

Why? The data shows that few children have died from the disease. So? You don't think that ill children can transmit the virus to adults at home?
What you're mostly concerned about is that you get your incompetent, bigoted, racist IMPOTUS re-selected because he represents how you feel about the rest of us. Care to address that?

Gish galloping? If you are truly concerned about the effects of COVID-19 on our nation's children, perhaps this link will interest you: https://www.sciencedaily.com/release...0511142153.htm
Unfortunately, too many Trump supporters don't care. They believe Trump's "99%" harmless decree, not realizing that, as noted in the article, many survivors have severe complications to the disease.
Too many also argue that underlying conditions killed them, not COVID, which is a childish denial. If a person has two broken femurs and dies in a house fire did they die because of the broken legs or the fire?

That's the major problem with opening schools, beaches and playgrounds: Kids don't "social distance", wear masks correctly and are completely oblivious to medical recommendations to prevent transmission of disease. That's proved by looking at STD rates: https://www.cdc.gov/std/stats17/adolescents.htm
incidence and prevalence estimates suggest that young people aged 15–24 years acquire half of all new STDs1 and that one in four sexually active adolescent females has an STD, such as chlamydia or human papillomavirus (HPV).2 Compared with older adults, sexually active adolescents aged 15–19 years and young adults aged 20–24 years are at higher risk of acquiring STDs for a combination of behavioral, biological, and cultural reasons.
While it's unlikely kids will pass on an STD to Nana and Pop-pop, they most certainly can pass along Cold Sores and COVID-19.

To their teachers, school staff, bus drivers, coaches, etc. as well. One of our nursing homes up here had an outbreak of the virus at the beginning of the pandemic. Several residents died, and several staff members were infected. They were offering huge sign-on bonuses and hefty paychecks to entice nurses and CNAs to work there. How are schools going to be able to do that when their staff is quarantined?

They can't. Additionally, the Governors who opened up too soon are taking massive hits. Sure, most did it because of their Trumpian constituents, but now the results are clear. A Governor who opens schools in the face of this resurgence of COVID is kissing his/her political career goodbye is a single child dies of COVID-19 caught in school. He/she would be labeled "Child Killer" for the rest of their lives.

Lather, rinse. Repeat.
Please get a new schtick.

Let's stick to the facts. Children are rarely affected by Covid 19 and the degree they transmit the disease is debatable.
If a person dies of a stroke and tests positive for Covid post mortem, the stroke killed them. However, that's not how it's being reported.
There are lies, damn lies and statistics.
