American Academy of Pediatrics Calls for Children to Return to Schools Despite Corona

dukkha said:
Pediatricians say students should be in classrooms for in-person learning as soon as possible – the most full-throated endorsement yet for getting children back into schools amid the coronavirus pandemic and one that was included in a set of recommendations released by the American Academy of Pediatrics for how schools should safely reopen.

"The importance of in-person learning is well-documented, and there is already evidence of the negative impacts on children because of school closures in the spring of 2020," the group representing 67,000 pediatricians wrote.
"Lengthy time away from school and associated interruption of supportive services often results in social isolation, making it difficult for schools to identify and address important learning deficits as well as child and adolescent physical or sexual abuse, substance use, depression, and suicidal ideation."

"This, in turn, places children and adolescents at considerable risk of morbidity and, in some cases, mortality," the guidance continued. "Beyond the educational impact and social impact of school closures, there has been substantial impact on food security and physical activity for children and families."
The recommendations acknowledge that infectious disease experts are still learning about the effects of COVID-19 and that all reopening policies must be flexible to account for rapidly changing scenarios. But the academic, physical and mental upsides associated with reopening outweigh the risks, the group concludes, especially as evidence mounts that children may not be the superspreaders medical experts initially assumed they were and that they tend to exhibit milder symptoms when they do contract the virus.

Perhaps most importantly, the pediatric group concludes, reopening is essential for the country's most vulnerable students, including poor students and students of color, who often rely more heavily on the multitude of services schools provide.

"Beyond supporting the educational development of children and adolescents, schools play a critical role in addressing racial and social inequity," the guidance reads. "As such, it is critical to reflect on the differential impact SARS-CoV-2 and the associated school closures have had on different races, ethnic and vulnerable populations."

The specific recommendations largely mirror the recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, though allow for looser restrictions in some cases. For example, the pediatrician group concedes that in most school settings, requiring 6 feet between students is not feasible without limiting the number of students in a class. It recommends instead spacing as close as 3 feet, particularly if students are wearing face coverings and are asymptomatic.

Rules are generally more lax for younger students in pre-kindergarten and elementary school – a recognition of the reality that younger children aren't likely to comply with social distancing and face mask requirements – and escalate gradually through middle school and into high school.

Study Finds Positive Results For Hydroxychloroquine
https://khn.org/morning-breakout/study-finds-positive-results-for-hydroxychloroquine/
researchers at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit saw a "significant reduction" in mortality rates with patients who were hospitalized between March 10 and May 2 and treated with the drug compared to those who were not. Hydroxychloroquine has been a topic of controversy since President Trump touted its effectiveness as early as March. The president also said he had been taking the drug. "The results of this study demonstrate that in a strictly monitored protocol-driven in-hospital setting, treatment with hydroxychloroquine alone and hydroxychloroquine [and] azithromycin was associated with a significant reduction in mortality among patients hospitalized with COVID-19," researchers wrote in the study published July 1 in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases.

death rates are lower then the flu as more and more testing lowers the morbidity rate.

On June 19, the girl's mother noticed that she looked "gray" while sleeping. The girl was then given an unspecified dose of hydroxychloroquine — an arthritis and lupus drug some, including President Donald J. Drumpf, have touted as a possible treatment for COVID-19.

OMFG, literally four months ago, you said masks didn't work. IN fact, as of 4 weeks ago, you were saying masks didn't work. You even posted a thread about how masks don't work.

You are such a fucking fraud.




Not in Texas, not in Florida, not in Arizona, not in North Carolina, not in Alabama, not in Mississippi, not in South Carolina, not in Utah, not in Georgia, not in any of the states that rushed to open.

Wait a second...back up...so if we all knew how infectious it was back in March, why are you downplaying its seriousness today?

Your argument eats itself.

How did Cuomo know how infectious it was, but DeSantis and Kemp didn't?

Nothing you are saying is making any sense.

No they aren't. You're lying again. Most of Florida is definitely a hot spot and most of the new cases in the last 2 weeks haven't been in Miami-Dade or Broward...they've been in the other parts of the state.

Like what? Kids are on their devices 24/7 already, are in constant contact with their friends via social media, Zoom, texting, Snapchat, etc.
Sounds to me like you are trying to imagine yourself as a child quarantined with your terrible parents and see school as an escape. Most kids aren't like you, though. Most kids love their parents.

Also, you don't know if kids can or cannot transmit it. Since COVID is transmitted mostly through water droplets, kids are probably the worst spreaders of it of any age group.

Also, you seem perfectly comfortable with a few kids dying so you have a shitty economy to run on. I guess all lives don't matter to you.

virtual learning is not a substitute for kids.
they attend less
they retain less
they do not get socialization skills -crucial for kids

Stefansson explained that his study showed that "if (children) were infected, they were much less likely (than adults) to infect others." This applied to kids infecting both adults and fellow children, he said.

Says who? You? Where's your supportive data that backs this up? Oh, NOWHERE YOU SAY? Ah, but you have a gut feeling about it, and when has your gut ever steered you wrong...except for lining up behind a failed reality TV show host who conned you into toiling his baggage, which you will have to do once he's gone.

No rebrands this time.

you are flailing and conflating as you always do when presented with factual rebuttals

1. DeSantis actually STOPPED ALL VISITATION to nursing homes -not only did he not force COVID positive residents like Como ; he basically sealed them off from any outside visitors.

as a result nursing homes did not see the tens of thousands of deaths like they did in NY

Have you ever been around children?

Maybe not because of sex offender registries and what not, but kids today don't socialize in person. They socialize via their devices, social media, snapchat, and texting. That is how they socialize. You don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Socializing isn't contingent on being in person. Anyone with a life knows that, which leads me to think you have no life.

Sure! I liked school when I was a kid too. But just because you like something doesn't magically make that something safe. You just lack empathy because you're a sociopath.

How can online learning work if students aren’t online? And what happens if kids don’t participate?

Something is better than nothing

Virtual learning by no means can be a replacement for classroom learning. But it can be used effectively to enhance the learning process. Due to the lockdown, many schools and colleges have started online classes but things like understanding the concepts, clearing doubts, interaction with the teacher are not possible in online classes. The environment of a classroom is quite different and it itself makes learning effective. But as something is better than nothing, it’s good to have virtual classes in this period.

Online teaching can harm the eyes of the students

Online teaching is a good platform but it is not for everyone. It has some requirements like a good internet connection and an interface, but not e

Ah, but a kid could catch it and spread it to their parents. Not to mention the staff at the school. Teachers can do remote instruction. There is no need to push kids back into overcrowded schools where they have to not only dodge COVID, but bullets too.

Actually studies show kids don't transmit to adults. Once again you prove to be a low info person.

all the more reasons kids need person to person interaction. they cant get that from online.

Online doesn't allow the nuances of human behavior to be expressed.
the step backward
the hesitancy or quick eye contact
the looking around at other kids for their reactions.

The list is huge - human behavior -especially socialization skill are subtle and complex -
they can't be displayed or discerned readily when online like a physical presence does
